Another pair of commercials for the upcoming Wii U exclusive Mario Kart 8 - which Allisa loved - has been released.

This time it's all about the Piranha Plant, a fierce ally that can attack multiple racers near or around the user. The second video shows off how many different twists have been put on the drab old racer formula - such as being able to race down waterfalls and what not.

View both videos below. Mario Kart 8 launches on May 30th.
