It has single-player and multiplayer modes, including online via the Nintendo Network. Mario Kart 8 was a critical and commercial success. Critics praised its new additions, tracks, graphics, gameplay, and orchestrated soundtrack, but criticized its limited battle mode. It is the best-selling Wii U game, with more than eight million copies sold worldwide. Nintendo has continued to release patches and downloadable content, including additional characters, vehicles, and tracks, and support for Nintendo's Amiibo figurines.
