Yes it is. I don't hate Big Donut, but Double Decker would have been my next choice. Skyscraper was ok, but it was in MKW.

Double Decker would be so fun in online mode if prople went AFK (AF3DS?) a lot, espically if they kept the starclip glitch.

@0:50 - Ye-e-e-e-es. Going off of a Japanese MKW video, those stats are Speed, Acceleration, Weight, Handling, and maybe Drift. Not sure about the fifth, as it doesn't match up to anything in MKW, but it seems like Drift would be the natural one to fill in the blank. Then again, from the Luigi's Mansion clip, it seems like it might have to do with Off-Road as well. At any rate, I love the looks of the customization ability here.

The fifth stat is "off-road."

Hahaha, yeah that aspect of the contest is... less than ideal.

There's no such thing as a "lucky Gamestop customer".

Do you know how much GameStop has contributed to my love of gaming? I got Lego Star Wars II there, which was the sequel to pretty much my first video game. I got Space Invaders Extreme for 19.99. We once bought a extra mic for Beatles Rockband and it didn't work! My dad returned it and they took it back and let him get a new one. Our GameCube? Fail, trade! All I'm saying is that GameStop does not have as bad of service as you might think.

That has to be one of the sickest things I've seen in my life (relating to Mario). Screw a car, I'd drive this everywhere.

Too bad they can't actually be driven.

The GameStop workers I've dealt with have genrally been ok, but it's pretty bad when I pay $50 for a game that should've had a discount. I traded in a DS game for credit toward my purchase, but somehow still ended up paying more than I would have if I'd bought it at Walmart with my discount.

I haven't been back since.

UPDATE 11/18
Jalopnik initially misreported one vital fact: the karts do drive! This promotion went from pretty neat to crazy awesome.

Anybody pick this up? Anybody playing?

I just got it for Christmas and I am in love. Nostalgia notwithstanding, I think this is my favorite entry in the series. The balance of power-sliding, coin-collecting, jump-boosting and hang-gliding makes for some extremely satisfying kart driving. They dialed back the items just enough to keep them from becoming spammy bull[dukar], but they're present enough to keep each race interesting and keep every driver on his or her toes.
