Well, I'm getting F-Zero, Mario Kart, and Kirby's Air Ride, so between the three I'm pretty sure all of my racing needs will be satisfied completely.

This game is gonna own like no other.

It's been years since I've played Mario Kart on Nintendo's home console.

I also can't wait to see what new multiplayer mahem the double feature will cause.

I don't know if you've already said this and i'd rather not read through 20 pages to find out, but is it possible to race in single karts like in the other mario karts, or do you have to stick with doubles. I reckon that it would be more fun to have 4 single carts on 1 console then just 2 doubles.

DRJ · « **Reply #403 on:** July 24, 2003, 05:27:35 AM »

You have to race 2 characters per kart. Otherwise you would be driving with one character and have nobody to throw weapons. You can play 4 player on one cube (i.e. 8 characters, 4 human players) or up to 8 people can play on multiple cubes and tvs.

Molobert · « **Reply #404 on:** July 24, 2003, 05:33:56 PM »

Wait, I thought you could control both people on the kart with only one person? This way you could have (on one cube) 4 players on four carts, or four players on two carts. Otherwise how would you play single player without either the driver or item-person being CPU controlled? I think I'm confused...

There are two characters in a cart, so 8 characters and 4 human players means each human player controls one cart.

DRJ · « **Reply #406 on:** July 25, 2003, 04:23:13 AM »

There are two characters in the Kart, but one person controls both at the same time. When you press A to shoot, instead of the shell or whatever appearing out of nowhere, the second character will pick up the item and throw it.

so basically the same as before with different game mechanics

Molobert · « **Reply #408 on:** July 26, 2003, 12:46:35 PM »

Hm. I thought you could also play with one person controlling driving and one person controlling items.

Oblivious · « **Reply #409 on:** July 26, 2003, 01:26:00 PM »

I'm a little confused but this is what I'm getting. You'll be able to have four people driving individual cars with COM players shooting? And I guess you'll be able to have two human players, one driving and one shooting.
It'd be neat if like on the SSB games you could have alternate skins. So you'd press X or Y while choosing your character to get different colored cars and designs!

DRJ · « **Reply #410 on:** July 26, 2003, 03:38:19 PM »

This seems to be confusing people. There are two characters per kart. Not two players per kart. You will control the kart with both characters. When you turn the analog stick the driving character will stear, when you shoot the second character will use the weapons. There is only one player per kart, it will just look different. Instead of a shell appearing in the back of the kart, it will look like the second character picks one up and throws it.

One player per Kart
Two characters sit in the Kart

You dont really control the characters seperately. When you do something the driver may respond (i.e. go fast, brake, turn) or the gunner may respond (i.e. shoot shell, hit other characters, steal other items). etc.

You can play with up to 8 human players. You will have to connect multiple GCNs together, and each will need a copy of the game. You can have 8 players on two tvs and two GCNs, or use 8 tvs and 8 GCNs.

That would be very interesting to try. I still would like the option of the traditional mario kart though

Twisted Halo · « **Reply #412 on:** July 29, 2003, 02:41:44 AM »

Yea, that's all so good, that it's great! Who wouldn't expect the new MarioKart game?! Good on the guy that cleared everything up to the confused people. But, wouldn't it be sweet if you could control both characters in the kart with just one person, or have two players per kart? That's what I would expect. You could control the aiming with the C-stick or something. Hmmm, I guess beggars can't be choosers!

Official boxart confirmed

I absolutely love this game's boxart, as well as Rebel Strike's.

blackfootsteps · « **Reply #415 on:** August 04, 2003, 09:12:37 PM »

i reckon it would be awesome if there staff ghosts to compete against in time trial mode like there were in MK64 on Luigi's Raceway (can't remeber if there were more). Those were a challenge to beat but oh so satisfying.

Molobert · « **Reply #416 on:** August 04, 2003, 11:04:50 PM »

I hope it has MK64 tracks unlockable, like the SNES tracks in Mario Kart: Super Circuit. And an unlockable Toad!

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #417 on:** August 05, 2003, 07:31:40 PM »

Isn't toad in it??

Molobert · « **Reply #418 on:** August 05, 2003, 09:21:11 PM »

No, Toad's not in the list of characters Nintendo sent out

. My only hope is that he's a bonus character or something...

VideoGamerJ · « **Reply #419 on:** August 05, 2003, 10:48:54 PM »

Nonetheless, this game's going to kick some ass.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #420 on:** August 06, 2003, 06:51:08 PM »

Toad was a good character. Mind you I like wario better.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #421 on:** August 07, 2003, 11:31:10 AM »

I always used Yoshi and Bowser. But that may change. I certainly changed from Link and Kirby to Shiek and Marth in SSB and SSBM.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #422 on:** August 07, 2003, 05:56:02 PM »

I suppose it all depends on who nintendo decide to put into the new game.

Nintendo Gamecube · « **Reply #423 on:** August 08, 2003, 01:50:24 PM »

Wait...what's so great about having two players on one cart? It'll be the same exact thing, just that a perosn uses a weapon and another person drives. This would be the same feel as the orginal mario, except that the way you would see the attack performed would be different. There must be more to the two player kart action than that.

Although switching karts may be new, it is nothing to get your hopes up about.

Will someone clearfy this....

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #424 on:** August 08, 2003, 02:16:05 PM »

Well, you can hold up to two items at a time this way. If you get an item but want to save it, you can put the person with that item in the driver seat (you can switch between the two). There might also be slight handling differences, plus heck, it's just cool to be able to pick two characters. Oh yeah! And characters have a few items that are exclusive to them, so you strategize weapon-wise depending on who you pick.
