Super smash bros is about brothers fighting I suppose. The legend of Zelda stars Princess Zelda right?

Brothers = fancy word for family, as in Nintendo family. Everyone knows Zelda stars Link and if they don't, they're a stupid nongamer.

Everyone knows Zelda is Link's brother.

Good thing there aren't any characters besides Mario in it

Tanookisuit · « **Reply #130 on:** December 16, 2007, 11:43:02 AM »

I agree that it needs to stick to characters from the Marioverse. And please, no animals. Maybe in some other game, but not this one.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #131 on:** December 17, 2007, 03:13:53 AM »

If you are going to call it Mario Kart you need to keep it to just Mariouniverse characters...in which there are plenty.

But I would love for the next Mario Kart game to be called Nintendo Karts, or NintenKarts or something, and have characters from all Nintendo games in there. Yeah, in a way it would be pretty stupid, but in another way it would be campy cheesy fun. And you know what...before Smash Brothers came out we never would have accepted a fighting game mixing Nintendo's characters together.

I think if they made a super smash kart sort of game it SHOULD use the MarioKart franchise. It just is so much more recognizable by name. I wish they would just take every mario spin off game and just throw in all Nintendo characters like Smash. Samus in Mario Tenis? SURE~! I don't personally care if my fav characters are whored out as long as THEIR personal games continue to stay fresh and new. I do not understand why Mario gets to be whored out so much yet everyone else takes the backseat~!

Mario presents: SUPER KART RACERS!

Chasefox · « **Reply #134 on:** December 20, 2007, 04:15:10 PM »

I would much prefer Smash Bros. Racers to Mario Kart nowadays...heck, half the characters in Mario Kart and Party games are in Smash Bros...different Nintendoverse themed racetracks...I would totally dig it...I love me some Starfox and Zelda...

Stogi · « **Reply #135 on:** December 20, 2007, 05:33:48 PM »

F that. It's all about Metriod tracks

Mario · « **Reply #136 on:** December 20, 2007, 05:46:25 PM »

Tracks from other franchises, now that could be really cool

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #137 on:** January 28, 2008, 08:16:40 AM »

Hey look, real info this time! =D

~ Sliding and snaking confirmed
~ Baby Peach, Boo to be drivers
~ Online battle mode
~ 16 new + 16 old courses
~ Different vehicles for every driver
~ Controls can be compared to Excite Truck

Snaking makes me sad, but then again I only play Mario Kart DS with my friend list full of non-snakers...Oh, and Baby Park needs to come back again...

TheFleece · « **Reply #138 on:** January 28, 2008, 09:15:09 AM »

I feel that players who snake really can't race. I wouldn't mind racing as a Boo, but I'd rather be a Koopa Troopa or a Ninji I hope there is a custom kart feature

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #139 on:** January 28, 2008, 03:28:19 PM »

Snaking is not bad...as long as it is implemented well. Previous games, snaking made no sense because really you should not be able to race faster by snaking all around the track.

Now, if by snaking they mean that extra boost once around corners, and then it does not become a viable racing strategy, then that is cool...and perfectly understandable.

A bit more of the same info in the latest Famitsu, with a couple new interesting things...

Mario Kart Wii (Wii/Nintendo/4-10)
* Bikes in cup mode
* Bikes have special actions like "wheelie"
* 16 remake and new courses
* Wi-fi 12 players
* Play as Mii

Super Mario Can't Decide What To Drive

Stogi · « **Reply #142 on:** February 05, 2008, 03:13:26 PM »

I don't think snaking will be such a problem. Excite truck controls don't allow any feasible way to snake, only the abilities to make huge drifts and have fun.

That said, I hope it doesn't add anything else from excite truck (like boost), though ET isn't a bad game by any means; it's still one of my favorite games to play..

IDEAS BACK FROM THE DEAD!

Easycure and I have been talking in the rumor thread how to change Mario Kart.

1)Make it more item based racing. With additional Item strategies and management. This can be done by letting the D-Pad shot items left, right, back and forward...and even do the classic hold in one place.

2)Revamp the slide manuever. Snaking is annoying. But why not have a meter or even Spark indication that pops up when you begin to slide to get that extra boost. If you try to get too long of a boost or Slide too often you will spin out. This reward/risk system will make power slides more skill based. You can even balance it out by making the boost you receive more powerful.

3)Split second break Shield. Remember in the 64 Mario Kart where you can hit the brake and recover from a banana peel slide. This mechanic needs to make a return...but be useful with almost all items. A split second shield or block that occurs with braking will actually give Mario Kart players a reason to use the brakes.

4)Online battle mode and races. This is obvious...but with the above mentioned mechanics Battle Mode can truly become a game of skill.

5)More interactive levels. This is also self explainitory.

Mario · « **Reply #143 on:** February 05, 2008, 06:13:26 PM »

Bikes sound like the lamest thing ever. I can already picture the online mode with idiots running around on bikes doing a trick every second. I'm just gonna forget about this feature and hope it goes away.

APRIL RELEASE! GOOD GOD YES. Mario Kart always launches worldwide too at the same time, please please please be the same for this. This is a great opportunity to make up for PAL countries lack of a Brawl release.

SARCASTIC RUMOR ALERT

THERE WILL BE 35 CHARACTERS, 41 TRACKS, Karts, Bikes, and LANDMASTERS

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #145 on:** February 06, 2008, 11:15:57 AM »

is pac man playable

Mario · « **Reply #146 on:** February 06, 2008, 11:37:37 AM »

Actually i've changed my mind, the bikes look pretty cool looking at the scans.

EasyCure · « **Reply #147 on:** February 07, 2008, 01:33:05 AM »

Has it been confirmed if the bikes are standard vehicles for all characters? if its like MK: DD where only one character has a bike but after the right conditions are met all characters can share karts then.. well i wont be pissed cuz i'd still have a bike to choose from but i'd rather each racer have their own bike with different attributes.

i just thought up something that would be awesome for this new MK.. an old-school Excitebike level! I was dissapointed with Excitebike 64 in that it didnt have any levels that tried to recreate the style of the originals. sure they had those hills that varied in size that you but wheres the oil spills and the gravel thad slowed you down? what about those ramps that were really high then turned to a straight-way with pretty much a dead end where you'd just fall off of? there was maybe one similar thing in Excitebike 64, i dont remember which level but you go to the left of some log cabin and you end up on some sorta unfinished cat walk. I remember they had that one mode that had the camera set up in the original angle, but still didnt feel nostalgic enough, and im thinking its due to the more lifelike graphics over the toon like the NES game had.

But now that mariokart has bikes.. it wouldnt be so hard to make an excite bike level with the same look as the originals! the bikes already do wheelies and you can pull off some tricks (already borrowing from both excitebikes and excite truck). who else thinks it would be an awesome homage to a classic game?

This really disappointed me, after getting so many tracks in the Ds both new and old I dont see why the Wii version has to have half as many.

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #149 on:** February 07, 2008, 04:30:42 AM »

Huh? It's 16 remakes and 16 new...
