You'll notice that Gamesradar have a video up of a full race on Mario Kart.
I watched it last night and I was dissapointed, though I still know its going to be great fun.
It doesn't look like much has changed from previous Mario Kart outings, apart from the two riders in one kart thing. In the video you'll see Luigi go up close sometimes and whack another player, things like this are going to make it better but still one major thing has gone.
That is speed. Where the hell has the speed gone? Ok, I know the characters now have to ride on self-made Carnival floats but doesn't mean they can't stick in *insert large number here*cc engines. It looks like it plays very slow which is a shame, maybe this is to aid the kart character switching thing or something, I don't know.
Another thing I noticed which was new to me was the way in which a 'Special' weapon is gained. In the video Mario and Luigi were in the kart and so the special was those fireball things which bounced around like crazy nits. So I don't think I'll be wrong in saying people like Donkey & Diddy Kong will have their own Special move, as will the other characters.
It'll be great none the less and I can't wait to play the thing. Oh god, I've just imagined them sticking Pokemon characters in Mario Kart :-S or creating a new game completely, Pokemon Kart. eeeeeek. No matter how much the Pokemon games rule, I wouldn't want that.

Mario Tennis had a great multiplayer, but even if you did wnat to unlock everything in single player, it was still a little lifeless.
Mario Golf, however, was the complete opposite. The multiplayer wasn't *that* good, as you had to do it in turns, but the single player was excellent, and there was a lot to do.
Both games were great.

Mmmhm. I've heard that it looks very good. But its just a hell of a lot slower. And slow Mario Kart, just doesn't work. So I'll prolly give it a rent one day. Like Zelda. It looks cack, (Shut up what you think this is my opinion) the Cel-Shaded thing just doesn't do it for me. I think personally they ruined a perfectly amazing game by using Cel-Shaded graphics.
Ah well.
Ah well.

It doesn't matter, Wario is my favourite out of the Mario Kart crew. He isn't that great on the road but he's just...cool. He's just yellow and has a annoying laugh and that makes him cool. And he's a crazy mofo.

Never played Mario Golf, but Mario Tennis was a great fun alternative to Virtua Tennis.
Always thought Mario kart 64 was too easy, even on 150cc/extra. I really wish they'd make the handeling more Snes-esq

Mario golf was better than tennis.
