Mario Kart 8’s 200cc class put to the test on Piranha Plant Pipeway

It’ll be hard to go back to 150cc

We’re about two weeks out from Nintendo adding the speedy new 200cc class to Mario Kart 8.

After watching a few of these side-by-side comparison videos between 200cc and 150cc, it already feels like I’m growing accustomed to the former. It just looks right and, assuming I don’t make a total fool of myself by crashing into all of the walls or flying off course, it should feel right too.

Weird thing: the course shown in this video is known as Piranha Plant Pipeway in Europe and Australia, but over here it’s called Piranha Plant Slide. I’m switching sides for that sweet alliteration.
