Well there are string attached to the toad so I'm going to go with Balloon on top of it being a different color from standard toad.Oni Link 666 said:Either that or Toad crashed and he's flying towards the screen.

I guess I just don't really care for Mario Kart anymore, I've had every Mario Kart thats come out but I think I'm just Mario Karted out.
No this is better..la1n said:Okay we get it Nintendo your pulling on the Super Mario Bros. 3 heart strings...really though you have done plenty - it's starting to look like a one trick pony. That is no way to treat the legacy of one of your best platformers and I have to admit it's kind of making you look silly.
just sayin'

And look how shitty the track looks. Looks like a SNES game.Kerrby said:

It is the same boring retro snes course they always port- an't there you know other levels?friskykillface said:I assume he saw the snes retro course pic and thinks thats how each course looks like? I don't know.
Most important question of the thread.GDGF said:One last bit of news I need to know.
Is the battle mode gonna be online?

MKDS had Mario Circuit 1, MKWii had Mario Circuit 3.trinest said:It is the same boring retro snes course they always port- an't there you know other levels?

Gravijah said:anyone have any idea what snes mario circuit that is?
I love that track, too, but I really like that dinosaur track a little more. I also like that Double Dash had some non-3 lap tracks. I really like the 2 lap track and Baby Park, which had 7 laps (5 in the DS version).RandomVince said:DK Mountain from Double Dash is my favourite. Love the descent down the volcano
These could be 3D shots, and there might be AA in 2D mode. The models still look somewhat better than the Wii ones at least.DonMigs85 said:Looks like an AA-less Mario Kart Wii with some bump mapping and shader effects added.
MarioWiki says it's Mario Circuit 2, but I don't know what they're basing that on.Akai said:I asked this earlier, but no one seems to know/care. It LOOKS like Mario Circuit 1 in Mirror Mode based on the pipe placement...

Gravijah said:gonna pretend you're wrong and hope that it's mario circuit 2
Yeah, it looks like that big bend in Mario Circuit, with no guards or anything:Akai said:I asked this earlier, but no one seems to know/care. It LOOKS like Mario Circuit 1 in Mirror Mode based on the pipe placement...
Akai said:Probably a better idea to pretend I'm right and be pleasantly surprised if it does turn out to be Mario Circuit 2... =3
sfried said:Does anybody have any clue as to what the "7" item does?
Oh, so this game has something like a road rally level? That's actually pretty neat, I kind of hope that Wuhu Island isn't the only course that handles things that way.Why would you do that? said:I'm looking forward to Wuhu Island in MK7, which will only be one long lap with many obstacles. It'd be nice to have a Baby Park-esque track, too.

Oh no an update to the best arcade racer of all time. How awful. It's been so long since it came out I really don't care if this game is just an update. MKDS is my favorite racing game of all time and more of it can only be a good thing.Tiktaalik said:Objectively, putting aside the positive emotions associated with the fact that we're getting a new Mario Kart, this is a very poor looking effort. This genuinely looks like a rushed 0.5 update to Mario Kart DS. So much of what we're seeing reeks of cash in. The sprite based crowd I mentioned before is an absolute embarrassment. Surely they can't be proud of this.
It's not like Mario Kart is a little spinoff game. Mario Kart DS was an utterly massive sellers on the system. You'd think they'd invest a little more effort into this title. It's also not as if they didn't have a lot of time. The last Mario Kart game was years ago.
Perhaps they're spending most of their development capital on online features that haven't been shown. We'll see.
One can see the substantial effort that Nintendo puts into their updates of the Zelda and Mario series. As a fan of the Mario Kart series I would love to see them dedicate the same amount of thought, money and time when they update this franchise.
