Nintendo has released a track list for “Mario Kart 8,” which it will launch on May 30. The racer will feature 32 tracks: 16 new circuits and 16 circuits based on tracks from previous versions of the popular Nintendo franchise.

Users will have the ability to play time trials, match modes and grand prix races. The game will also have eight cups, each with its own four circuits.

Last week, more features of the game were announced, including in-game items and anti-gravity racing abilities.

“This is the eighth game in the series, and when we work on a Mario Kart title, we work on courses and we create them, and then we work on them again, and again, and again, and we revise until we come up with something that we think is going to be fun for everyone to play over and over again. So we have a lot of confidence in our ability to do so, but we understand what a tough challenge it is to create those courses,“ Konno explained during a roundtable discussion at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco in late March.

The game's courses are listed below.
