Did you know Mario Kart 8 has a brake button? You actually need it for 200cc

Mario Kart 8’s second round of downloadable content is out, and it’s beautiful — but the real star is the free bananas-crazy 200cc mode.

Yesterday, Nintendo released a set of new characters, tracks, and vehicles that you can use in Mario Kart 8. This was the second of the publisher’s two-part DLC plans for its colorful racer, and it features some of the best content yet. The tracks are beautiful — especially the new F-Zero and Animal Crossing courses. And while I love that stuff, none of it changes the game quite like the new, eye-blistering 200cc mode that bumps up the speed of the karts to a level we’ve never seen before in this franchise.
