Mario Kart Maximum is an upcoming game for the Wii U. It is the ninth installment of the Mario Kart series, and will be released in 2017.

Mario Kart Maximum plays very similarly Mario Kart 8, also for the WiiU. Up to five players can play, four with a Wii Remote and one with the GamePad. Gliding, underwater, and anti-gravity returns, as well as bikes. Designing emblems and mission mode are back from Mario Kart DS.
