Why does Mario Kart 8 look so much better than SSB for Wii U? Disappointed.

It's most likely due to being 1080p/60fps instead of 720p/60fps. That's an awful lot of extra resources (225% more in-fact), 

Common mistake. It's 225% as much pixels, so 125% more.

Percentages aside the jump from 720p to 1080p requires significantly more power from any GPU. Its much worse when you throw any form of post process effects on top.  ask any PC gamer or look up any benchmarks.
