Mario Kart Generations

Mario Kart Generations is an upcoming game, created by Icey Inc.. It is set to release sometime in Fall 2014 for the Wii U. A few new features to the Mario Kart series will be included.
== Gameplay ==
Mario Kart Generations brings back a few old features from the Mario Kart series: you can customize your kart like in Mario Kart 7, coin collecting from Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, and Mario Kart 7 return, and like Mario Kart 7, you can also glide through the air and go underwater again, however, propellers are added to kart customization, so every racer can have a different propeller of choice.
Tricks, which appeared in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7 respectively, do not return for this game, nor do the motorbikes.
There are a few new features to Mario Kart Generations: there's a brand-new Story Mode, where you can race through courses against bosses and make it through many levels and courses (courses only from the game, only the Nitro courses are included). When a racer is about to catch up to you in a race, there will be an alarm that sounds like a bell ringing. Also, in certain times in the starting screen, you get the opportunity to spin a slot wheel to temporarily unlock something, or gain luck. However, unlocking something through the slot machine may only be featured temporarily until you actually unlock it using the criteria.
This game introduces an item called the Appearance Swapper, which changes a course's graphics or appearance for only 10 seconds, which can affect certain racers goodly or badly.
