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.

Getting it right was pretty difficult, but it was so great when you just sail past everyone else as they fall to their doom.
The feather was great.
In the detchmath areanas, with the spinning balls instead of poxy balloons.
A red shell would be heading for you, and you'd hop over the wall with the feather :D
Or, alternatively, nick it using the ghost.

Did you ever use the Lightning Bolt when people were going over the huge jump in Wario Stadium?
Hilarious. Everyone fell down the gap and had to compelte about 1/4 of the course over again.

HAH! Lightning is annoying if you're the recipient, but 0wnz if you're the sender :D

Hopefully Nintendo will listen to what people were saying at E3 and speed the game up a lot.
F-Zero's too fast and Mario Kart's too slow.
Is the public never happy?

So, the shoulder buttons? If so, you could feather INTO a slide :D

Heh, it was even funnier, that when people knew you were going to turn them small, they stopped on the ramp, and then when the lightning effect wore off, they couldn't gain enough speed to get over.
Genius!
Genius!
THE FEATHER was far superior to any powersliding buttons.
