Meet the Mario Kart Contestants
« on: October 29, 2003, 03:24:10 PM »
Nintendo of Europe continues the Double Dash excitement with a driver line-up.  I wouldn't be surprised if they're holding some back though.

START YOUR ENGINES!!

Meet the stars of Mario Kart: Double Dash!!


Place your bets please for the Mushroom Kingdom's premier racing event! Tune up the engines and get your red shells ready, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is coming to Europe on 14th November 2003 for NINTENDO GAMECUBE. This time, the rules of the road have changed - there are now TWO riders per kart!


Let's take a closer look at the competitors and check out their forms!


Mario & Luigi
Everyone's favourite plumbers are back and ready for some serious racing action. This time they're literally playing with fire. Mario and Luigi's weapons of choice are red and green fireballs.


Diddy Kong & Donkey Kong
Straight from the jungle with attitude to match! Using their simian strengths to beat the opposition. Fruit is their weapon of choice, so watch out for those huge bananas!


Daisy & Peach
Princess Peach is a veteran of the tracks, but new to kart racing is Princess Daisy. Flying hearts surround the royal ladies' karts and any item that hits them becomes theirs to use!


Paratroopa & Koopa
Armoured and aggravated, the loyal foot soldiers of Bowser are out for themselves this time round. Throwing triple red and green shells from their kart, these two are best avoided!


Baby Mario & Baby Luigi
They may be the two youngest competitors, but don't underestimate their desire to win! Watch out for Chain Chomp, their fiercesome and hungry accomplice who pulls them along at breakneck speeds!


Yoshi & Birdo
No ones riding them this time, they've got their own kart and they mean business. Their rolling eggs home in on opponents, and crack to reveal three more items!


Bowser Jr. & Bowser
Mario's arch-nemesis and his unruly son are spiny shelled and aching to cause trouble on the tracks. An awe-inspiring giant shell is their special item, creating a path of destruction when thrown!


Waluigi & Wario
Ever fond of sneaky and underhanded tactics, it's best to keep your eyes on these two! Armed with exploding bombs that catapult their opponents aside these two are possibly the most determined duo of all the racers!


All your favourite Nintendo characters and more are back for some serious karting action. Mario, Luigi, Peach and Yoshi are all present and correct for this latest racing outing for NINTENDO GAMECUBE. Riders from throughout the land have come together to test their driving skills. Which pair will prove the fastest?


Find out on November 14th, when Mario Kart: Double Dash!! launches across Europe for around 60 Euros.

maybe i missed somehting, but does that mean that when you pick your drivers, they come pre-packaged and you cant pick...for instance....luigi and koopa?
A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice.

$10 says there'll be a bogus code that supposedly lets you race as Sonic within a week of launch.

But where's Toad? They aren't really snubbing him for Birdo, are they?
