Mario Kart 8 is the first title in the series to feature live instrumentation for select course themes. In three or four player splitscreen, the game runs at 30fps. The game runs at a native resolution of 720p and refreshes 60 frames per second in singleplayer and two player splitscreen. There is also local support for up to four player splitscreen races. Up to 12 players are able to compete in the game's online mode, including two local players using the same console. The Community features introduced in Mario Kart 7 make a return, letting players set up tournaments and group races with an expanded set of custom rules. Another new feature is Mario Kart TV which automatically creates a highlight reel of each race for users to share with their friends on Miiverse or YouTube. Mario Kart 8 introduces gravity-based track design with vertical surfaces and upside down roads for the usual band of racers to drive on via magnetic wheels.
