I have not verified this, and I'm sure someone will, but the battle maps seems too small to allow 8-kart play. But with 4 karts, 8-player CO-OP battle is logical.

The 8-kart/16-player Co-op Grand prix option should be common knowledge by now.

Question? I didnt seem to notice this before, but in single player, does the framerate jump around in some the of the levels? I cant tell if its the framerate dropping, maybe its just screen shake, or I am just seeing things. Anyone else take notice to this?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #827 on:** November 24, 2003, 02:55:16 PM »

In my personal experience -- in single player Grand Prix and Co-op Grand Prix -- I have not seen framerate jumps at all.

Nope. None here either.

Yeah, bust be the crack. By the way, just thought that I should mention that I have no idea why I was b!tching about not enough unlockables earlier. There are enough to keep me happy. This is a triple excellent game.

U mean all in your own cart or 2 per cart?

And im extreamly annoyed. I finally played 3-player battle mode and found out there is no bomb-omb in baloon mode when U die. This was one of the greatest features of mario kart64 and im extreamly disapointed that it was not included

Has anybody elsed notice the complete lack of load times? The transition between tracks is completely seamless...takes me back to the days of the cart

cheers69 · « **Reply #836 on:** November 25, 2003, 09:18:26 PM »

Yes I have played 8 player battle all in our own Karts with 4 cubes Split screen.

no, i acutally haven't noticed that, which makes it even better

BoboThePenguin · « **Reply #838 on:** November 26, 2003, 01:36:44 AM »

Yep, the only time it loads is at the very beggining when you see the Laktika(sp?) floating there...

Berny · « **Reply #839 on:** November 26, 2003, 09:17:01 AM »

Hey, did anyone once see Lakitu, after the Nintendo logo and Mario going like "NIIINNNTENDOOO!", that Lakitu doen't always pull up the starting lights? I saw him once pull up a Cheep Cheep. Or maybe I was just WASTORD!

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #840 on:** November 26, 2003, 09:39:22 AM »

I stopped seeing stoplights since I first booted up the game. All I see now are damn fish.

OO7craft · « **Reply #841 on:** November 26, 2003, 09:43:35 AM »

w00t.. so there is an 8-p battle.. thanks.

I still miss becomming bom-omb in battle tho

cheers69 · « **Reply #842 on:** November 26, 2003, 02:09:15 PM »

8 player battle on the CUBE(console) Level is out of control there is just crap goin everywhere its awesome fun.

Chubbles · « **Reply #843 on:** November 27, 2003, 02:38:14 AM »

I played mario over lan with Cheers and you can have more than 4 player battle, shells fly everywhere at the start.

Shorty McNostril · « **Reply #844 on:** November 28, 2003, 11:16:33 PM »

There's about two or three different sizes of cheep cheep at the start.

You get that when you press and hold 'A' in the screen before Lakitu comes out (the Nintendo screen I believe).

HANSOLO · « **Reply #846 on:** November 30, 2003, 12:08:21 AM »

guys i have been wondering if Mario Kart is LAN only or can it go online all around the world

Ocarina Blue · « **Reply #847 on:** November 30, 2003, 01:24:04 AM »

It is LAN only, but a technique called 'tunneling' can be used to play players in other areas. So it has a psuedo online element. http://warppipe.com has information regarding the matter.

Hey dudes, we got two reviews up on the front page. Me and Jonny didn't read each others' reviews until they were done, so we each touch on a lot of different points, which is :cool:.

7.9 sorry

ahahahahaha just kidding

SCF · « **Reply #849 on:** November 30, 2003, 04:33:43 PM »

Nice review, though I don't agree on the graphics rating cause I think the game looks beautifull, try looking at MK64 and then look at this game ( i did) and you can see how different this game looks than its predecessor. The bomb explotions,the power slide, the shine are examples of little details that look good to me.Regading your other scores they are fine I agree with most of them ( sound could be a bit higher) and this game totally kick ass. Thank god u didnt gave it a 7.9 as some other sites has done because they think the game isn't that great and has been turned more kiddy friendly, I don't know what they are smoking but this game is HARD in 150cc mode. Don't tell me you find Rainbow Road really easy the first time you try it, cause it's sure the hardest rainbow road that i've ever race ( in 150cc i mean, still don't have the mirror mode). Anyway people buy the game it is that really good plus it's a blast with a lot of friends in ur house or whatever house u are.
