New Mario Kart 8 trailer shows off 7 new Koopa Kids to race

Mario Kart 8 will be hitting the Wii U this May and it looks like we have an entire set of new characters with which to race: the Koopa Kids.

The Koopa Kids, or Koopalings as they’re called in the trailer, first appeared in Super Mario Brothers 3 for the NES and have been one of Bowser’s staple minions ever since. They are (in order of oldest to youngest) Ludwig von Koopa, Lemmy Koopa, Roy Koopa, Iggy Koopa, Wendy O. Koopa, Morton Koopa Jr. and Larry Koopa, and they will all be playable in the upcoming Mario Kart 8 for the Wii U.
