I still play MK64 fairly frequently, as in whenever I go to my mom's house. My cousin, who also lives there, only has MK64, and sometimes we spend literally hours playing. Plus, it's the only Mario Kart I own aside from DS.

In SMK, hopping was essential... there were certain shortcuts that could be taken with precisely timed hops rather than needing a feather. Not to mention the mechanics of turning and avoiding projectiles.

Well I'm basically hoping it will be the Brawl for Mario Kart--everything we've seen before improved, and good new elements. I may be alone in kind of liking the two-man kart Double Dash idea, and thinking it'd be an okay to have, just because, mode... you know?

I'd think the only reason there was double karts on the GCN MK was because without it, there'dve be nothing else improved about it. SMK was the first, SMK64 was 3D, SMKSC was portable... skipping ahead, MKDS had two screens and minor touch control--so what's so great about just another 3D Mario Kart? They had to spice it up, but now that MK is on the Wii, their innovation quota will be filled with the Wiimote controls. So I'd expect a semi-fun, but otherwise bland game that thinks it can get away with being fresh just because of how you play it--just like some other Wii games and most DS games.

I'd really like to see the two-person karts come back as an option. If they could figure out some way to balance them (maybe only one-person karts can drag items), it'd be a really nice touch. Especially if it also included two-person motorcycles, with one in a sidecar.

I'd like my question answered: What was wrong with Peach's Strikers design?

To Hot?
Erm... It would be cool to see Pac-Man re-apear.

BriGuy92 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 17, 2007, 09:18:22 PM »

Wait, by "re-appear", are you referring to his inclusion in Mario Kart Arcade? Because the only reason he was in that game is that it was made by Namco. Somehow I doubt he'll be in Mario Kart Wii.

I don't think that Pac-Man was ever meant to have arms and legs.

you should be able to choose forms of the characters like turning mario into bee mario, racoon mario,fire mario, ect. or wario into his new suit or peach into her striker suit yoshi gets wings.I also thought it'd be cool for the suits to change their suits.

Uh, Pac-Man's had arms and legs since the original arcade.

Uh, this is from the latest press release on Mario Kart Wii:

Quote

• Classic Controller: Mario Kart veterans can let their thumbs do the driving with the Classic Controller. However, players cannot perform certain moves with this control scheme.

• Nintendo GameCube™ Controller: Experienced Mario Kart fans may also enjoy this familiar scheme, although some maneuvers cannot be performed.

MEGAß¥TE · « **Reply #27 on:** April 02, 2008, 11:50:49 PM »

Sorry, no steering with classic control.

I'd like this as a birthday gift, but since it comes like 3 weeks after it...

Also I'm wondering why people like seeing new innovative things in each game and don't like it when there isn't much new stuff. Aren't the new tracks, etc. enough?

I read that the wii wheel works really well
I also think Pac-man would be a good character, and kirby too
I thought that double-dash was the best mario kart
Just stating a few opinions
