Mario Kart Discussion Thread

You guys are acting as if the courses are completely submerged/in the air. :/

It's called Mario Kart 7 because it's the seventh game. Duh. Adding "3DS" is really unoriginal and it makes me think of the "64" craze where every game had "64" at the end of the title, so really this is not as big a deal as you are making it out to be.

I was anally damaged when I saw Baby Daisy in Mario Kart Wii, but I got used to her. You guys will get used to Honey Queen in time. In fact I am probably going to sub her just to annoy all of you.

Good point, although adding 7 to it isn't exactly very original either.

....Baby Daisy also has never been in any of the games lol. That's a little different. Daisy has been in many Mario games...Queen Bee was in 1 game for 1 level...she didn't even play a major part HECK all she did was have you crawl all over her for 2 min and then that was it....ya...she should totally be a character

Here is a video of Donkey Kong's track in MK7. Just thought I'd show it to everyone.

There's been an update to the official site today.

GCN Daisy Cruiser is the only new Retro Track. This leaves one more Retro track left (I'm guessing Royal Raceway). However, footage of Rainbow Road was seen as well.

I'm looking at the site right now, and will edit this with new information.

N64 Koopa Troopa Beach is rocking both hang glide ramps and underwater segments.

Link to official site: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/amkj/index.html.

Click the boxes with the red box that says Update 11.4 underneath to get to see the new stuff. The first one is characters, while the second one is courses.

Banana Cup video

All I want is the B-Dasher MK 2 and a good small class (if there are classes) drift kart. Toadette would also be winner, she's my favorite character in the whole Mario universe.

Also PMJ, sig quoted for great out-of-context-ish-injustice.

What is the section with the coin, underneath the track section?

Also, the Music track looks really cool.

 

[Chillarmy]

The video footage changed my mind... I want this game!!

Wario's sure got a lot of stuff. First a stadium, then a coliseum, and a gold mine and now this.

^ that's perty kewl

I really don't want Birdo to be in this game. Every time I see Birdo, I use the bathroom a little in my pants :x

Daisy Cruiser?! Hooooooooray. I loved that level. Who else misses DD all together? I loooooooved that game...Baby Park <3

I would always be on the back and just punch people :3

 

[Professor Palutena]

Baby Park would have been hilarious in Mario Kart Wii. >:]

Lol I don't really see why but I'm sure the wheelies would have made everything go ALOT faster. Even faster times on Baby Park...I'm not sure if that is possible

The official Mario Kart 7 Japanese website has updated with the star cup, leaf cup, and all the battle courses.

The final retro track has been announced, and it it...

Spoiler

SNES Rainbow Road

So we know everything about this game now. All that is left to do is to wait the 16 days for it to be released.

...I hate waiting.

Whoa, isn't this like the first time a Rainbow Road track has been one of the retro courses? From my memory though SNES Rainbow Road is probably one of the hardest, I don't think there's a single barrier to keep you from falling off. o.o I still think they should make a Rainbow Cup or something and put 4 Rainbow Road tracks in it. =P I know some people would hate it but I know I would love it. xP

That would be amazing xD. Rainbow Road is always frustrating at first but you keep trying it and then finally you get good at it. I beat the expert ghost on Rainbow Road on MK Wii xD. You just gotta practice.

Actually that SNES Rainbow Road was already used in Mario Kart Super Circuit so nope, not the first time. I liked the music though, it was very different. A Cup filled with Rainbow roads would definitely be awesome! I can just imagine how many times me and my cousins would be falling off the tracks.

^Ooo, goodie. I'm a light class only guy though, that's been my thing since DD. They seemed to drift the best, which is also my thing. And I'm dying really bad for Fawful in this game >.> even if that's kinda hopeful. Toon Link (I want crossovas too) would be kewl for TLoZ's 25th anniversary, but like I said, that's pretty hopeful... I dunno, knowing the big N we'll get Flurrie and there'll be a parent outcry lol.
