I've been playing Mario Kart 8 a lot lately and I've got to say, it's a really enjoyable game. I'm playing it every day and I can't remember the last time I enjoyed a game so much that I played it every day and I couldn't wait to play it again once I stopped playing.
The only problem I have with it are the new items. In my opinion, all of them but one are just terrible and pointless. The Super Horn is pretty good and it can really help you out a lot, but the others are just horrible. Both the Boomerang Flower and Piranha Plant achieve nothing, more so the latter, and the Crazy Eight has to be the most frustrating item ever.
The vast majority of the time, when I get the Crazy Eight, I explode within five seconds of having the item, as another driver, be it CPU or an actual player, will always touch the Bob-omb that's hovering around me and it'll go off, effecting me and everyone close to me.
I can see that it was created with good intentions but how anyone is expected to drive, keep an eye on the track, see what item is best to use at that moment and to correctly aim the weapon at your target, while watching your back for attacks, all at the same time is pretty insane.
Also, Battle Mode is pretty bad too. Having a track instead of a stage/arena just makes Battle Mode pretty boring.
