Multiplayer Up until now we’ve only seen information about the local multiplayer aspects of the game. 12 players will be able to race online with chat enabled in the lobby, so you can talk to your friends as you prepare to race. Both public and private tournaments are also available to be created, with options for setting the rules, day of the week, and the time. Ghost racing is also included, so you can see your friend’s best track times and try to best them. Those that manage to beat development team ghosts will receive stamps to use in Miiverse.
Mario Kart TV
Mario Kart TV is the special Miiverse integration for the game, so players can highlight their best racing moments on Miiverse with the ability to rewind and slow-mo them. Special Google account integration is also included so those with Google accounts can upload the highlight reels directly to YouTube. *Apparently when you upload Mario Kart 8 videos with that new MK TV application, all the videos immediately get Content ID'd. Nintendo will be monetizing the Mario Kart videos through YouTube.With the way Nintendo has been handling YouTube in recent months, it's no surprise to hear that Nintendo auto-handles the content ID info when you upload from Mario Kart 8.
New Items
Items have always been a staple of the Mario Kart series. During the Direct Nintendo announced several new items, including the Super Horn, which uses a shockwave to blast away everything around the player, including other drivers. The Crazy Eight was also shown, which is a host of eight different items that players can use one by one.
New Characters
Pink Gold Peach and Baby Rosalina were also shown off during the Nintendo Direct, as well as the ability to play as your Mii character instead of a character from Nintendo’s pre-established characters. This makes the roster a full 30 characters.
