Hi5!!!
Australia is best English colony.

NTom64 · Nov 2, 2011

Coconut Mall is in?

I don't think I could love this game any more than I do right now!

+ 2 more unknown
I'm gonna predict GCN Daisy Cruiser and N64 Yoshi Valley

Woot! I was right! Daisy Cruiser is confirmed as the 15th retro track! One more yet unknown!

Javier said:
Yeah, those are Battle courses, they say (using my best basic knowledge of Japanese to translate Katakana):

GBA Battle Course 1
N64 Big Donut
DS Palm Shore

Honey Bee House
Sherbert Rink
Wuhu Town

Yeah, there must definitely be more. I'm sure I saw a screenshot showing one of the battle courses from Super Mario Kart.

It turns into a video if you wait.

Can we finally stop spoilering these two? I think everyone and their mom know by now and it's right on the official web site.

Well, that sure makes that site or page more interesting, hahahahaha.

Thanks.

KittenMaster · Nov 5, 2011

Normally I don't expect the Mario Kart cast to be exceptional, but seeing some of the new characters makes me realize how baller the lineup of new characters actually is.

MasterShotgun · Nov 5, 2011

They also have footage of 8 more tracks. I'm in love with the

musical

track.

GDGF · Nov 5, 2011

Rainbow Road looks fantastic.

Seriously though, I've never seen a game from any publisher release on a day that isn't Thursday before. How weird.

speedpop · Nov 5, 2011

Definitely racing as Lakitu. That cloud cart is pimpin'

Oni Link 666 · Nov 5, 2011

Can't say I'm too excited about the bee and worm as playable characters. I'm wondering if there will be more unlockable characters. I find it kind of strange that Diddy isn't there.

I read somewhere that there are more characters than what we have seen.

This is one track I don't want to see before I get it. It's always nice to see what the new version of rainbow road looks like first hand. Hope the song is as good as usual. The GBA rendition is an under appreciated gem:

But then again I have a real soft spot for that game.

dreamahm · Nov 5, 2011

Long time to get this game -_-.

It's 4 weeks away, not that long. Moreso with the games onslaught in november

Oni Link 666 · Nov 5, 2011

Kitty ain't gonna take that shit!

That's 3 weeks with Mario Land 3D and 2 weeks with Zelda SS. It won't be too bad at all.

The official American site has been up for a couple of days, unfortunately, all you can do for now is watch the trailer, as every section is on "Coming Soon" status.

Jorok Goldblade · Nov 5, 2011

Who am I missing?

Cat gif is crazy, I hate it when people hit animals. The Cat beating the kid is alright by me though. >.>

Go MK7.

Berordn · Nov 5, 2011

But is MK7 the cat or the baby?

Some of these courses have terrible music. What happened, Nintendo?

Kilrogg · Nov 6, 2011

The Music Park track looks awesome. For some reason it reminds me of the Clock track in MKDS (does that make a comeback too?).

I love how the cats mouth opens in shock before he retaliates.

TheGreatMightyPoo · Nov 11, 2011

The Japanese site is updated with Star Cup and Leaf Cup videos and Battle Mode videos.

Stormwatch · Nov 11, 2011

Nooooo! I can't watch those videos in my country. I guess I now know how non-Americans feel when they try to watch our videos

i doubt that..

it COULD however have gotten a nasty infection if the cat decided to stick out it's claws for the attack

as for me i hate both cats and kids so i am loving this gif mouhaha

BowieZ · Nov 11, 2011

Absolutely GLORIOUS.

TheGreatMightyPoo · Nov 11, 2011

Can somebody tell me from the Battle Mode videos whether it's shitty team-only battle or every kart for itself or possibly both???

You probably can't tell or I can't.

Seems to be Free for all.

Nocturnowl · Nov 11, 2011

The new tracks are looking great, the Star Cup especially, Star Cup usually ends up as my favourite and this looks to continue that tradition.

Appears to be score based, though.
I like what they did with Big Donut.

Yeah, that middle part in Big Donut really seems to help and be fun.

that's because star cup has bowsers castle and rainbow road!

No, Bowser's Castle and Rainbow Road are in special cup...

oh yeah

then how can anyone like star cup more than special cup

actually, now that i think about it, star cup in mkw was filled with awesome stages

Nocturnowl · Nov 11, 2011

Bowser's Castle is often a staple of Star Cup as well as Special.

Well, the first two Mario Karts had Bowser's Castle in Star Cup, but ever since Super Circuit, it's been the second to last race in Special Cup.

daakusedo · Nov 11, 2011

Seeing how the past cups are now part of each new mario kart, I think just having more than 16 new races would be better.

moreso i wish we got one track from every game in each of the classic cups.

You are correct, for some reason I was remembering DD and DS having it in he star cup but oh well.

DarkWish · Nov 12, 2011

Oh man, the first of those new tracks with the old school Mario stuff looks freaking awesome!

EDIT: Wait... there are two WuHu Island tracks? That's interesting, wonder why they did that.
