Nintendo would also likely have to pay royalties to any non-Nintendo-franchise character they used. Pretty unlikely, given how Nintendo likes making money.

I think they'd rather delve into their own cast of characters instead of actively seek out non-nintendo characters that they'd have to license.

Miyamoto did mention his intention of putting Sonic into Mario Kart. I don't know if he was able to, but it'd be pretty cool.

I hope Sonic is never in a Mario Kart game, I wouldn't be saying that if he didn't pull a Crash on me.

They should pop in Little Mac from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out! That would be sweet.

well one thing these mario kart screen shots remidn me of is mario sunshine...mario sunshine's screenshots looked shitty....but when you actually played the game it looked great. Also Mario kart will mvoe tons faster then mario runs on mario sunshine so...any texture problems...etc wont look as bad at high speed.

funn how you mention f-zero...remember how f-zero x looked like shit but came out as fast as diareah...fast ass shit ....explosive speed.

And now F-Zero is incredibly fast AND gorgeous.

Ah, the wonders of the Gamecube.

Yes, and whats even greater is that we know this title will be awesome, because it plays and controls just like F-Zero X (which we know from overwhelmingly positive impression) but with a million times better graphics. MEGA SUPER POWER HYPE!

I really don't care if Mario Kart looks crappy as long as the two-character kart racing leads to high-action fun and isn't short-lasting. Another thing that it needs is more battle arenas(how bout more than 4 this time) Bring back Block Fort!!!

ThePerm · « **Reply #208 on:** May 02, 2003, 03:26:17 PM »

oh hell yeah o nthe battle arenas....i loved both mk and dkr battle modes

Having Sonic in Mario Kart is a stupid idea. He doesn't even need a fricken kart to beat them. Just hop out and whizz by. But then I also noticed in the screens that the karts go upwards of 100km/h. How fast does Sonic go?

yup, that would be sincerely stupid, he could outrun his kart easily, thats like walking on your hands instead of you feet

Yeah, and TECHNICALLY it'd only take one slash of Link's Master Sword to kill something. Since when have we gotten into details like this? I want Sonic in Mario Kart because it'd be cool playing as him- if your only excuse for leaving him out is he doesn't need a cart, you might wanna spend some more time on that.

Caterkiller · « **Reply #216 on:** May 03, 2003, 02:08:11 PM »

Sonic can run up to 750 mph, hence the name Sonic, you know speed of sound.

That didn't stop him or any of the other Sonic crew from using karts (well, carts), in Sonic Drift 1 AND 2 for the Game Gear, AND Sonic Adventure's Twinkle Circuit AND SA2's racing mode.

About having unique attacks for each character, is this Nintendo going back to its roots? In the SNES version of MK, all of the CPUs had their own unique attak that they would fling at you. Unfortunately, this wasn't included in MK64. I am guessing that is what the person on the back of the cart would be able to do. Bowser throwing fireballs at you, while Peach is driving? Sounds fun to me!

All in all, MK: DD appears to be a blend of features in the SNES version and the N64 version.

Mario · « **Reply #219 on:** May 03, 2003, 05:11:54 PM »

So do we have any kind of release date for this game yet?

Bill Aurion · « **Reply #220 on:** May 03, 2003, 05:21:36 PM »

No real set date yet, but I will make an educated guess of around Sept/Oct for the U.S.

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #221 on:** May 03, 2003, 06:29:14 PM »

I dunno if anyone has put this up or anything like it, cuz I only read to about page 9, but this is pretty much official:

http://www.nintendo.com/e32k3/games/nintendo_mariokart_mh8/mariokart_feat.jsp

(the linking wasn't working for me right then, but it should eventually)

Two players per kart, special karts, etc. Ample characters and probably tons of tracks. Looks fun to me.

I just finished play about an hour or two of MK64 with a friend, and dang is that game fun.

Don'tHate742 · « **Reply #222 on:** May 03, 2003, 08:33:50 PM »

Are you sure its two players or two characters....

BIG DIFFERENCE

if you hadn't figured it out---two players means a co-op type of deal, two characters means two mascots like mario and luigi on one kart.

Lao-tzu · « **Reply #223 on:** May 03, 2003, 09:25:12 PM »

It is two characters.

You pick Mario, and he races.. and you will press a button when you're near to someone elses cart and Peach or DK will jump on.

(Or so I think)

The first part is right, the second, maybe not.

Hemmorrhoid · « **Reply #224 on:** May 04, 2003, 12:10:18 AM »

I think its gonna be so much fun beating the shits outta your opponent or even knocking him of the cart.
