Yes for Mario Kart 8 and Super Mario 3D World. NO for New Super Mario Bros U: in NSMBU, you cannot use the gamepad to control a character when playing multiplayer - you have to use Wiimotes or the Pro controllers only to control characters (the gamepad in multiplayer NSMBU works only in "Boost mode" to give other players boosts). Note that in single player NSMBU you can use the gamepad to control your character.
