Mario Kart 8's new 200cc class looks insane

Mario Kart 8 is getting faster and considerably more bonkers thanks to the new 200cc class.

This Mario kart 8 footage shows off a side-by-side comparison of Piranha Plant Pipeway/Slide played at 150cc and 200cc. As you'll see, the extra 50cc makes a huge difference:

That looks intense. Nintendo announced the new class, coming in a future update, in last week's action-packed Nintendo Direct.
