The Mario Kart series has to be my FAVORITE nintendo series by far. I loved 64 a whole lot and cannot wait for this one.

Excuse me but this is BULLSHIT.

Toad has been screwed over in favor of Baby Mario and Diddy Kong. This has forced me to forgo all logic and proclaim this game will be terrible.

EDIT: I've looked over the screen shots and apparently Princess Daisy is playable and not in the character list, so I will hold my anger until the official character listing is released.

Hmm, no lap indicator... no laps? (Reduces the effectiveness of Banana Peels, at least)

Regardless, the two-man teams sound neat. It also looks like there will still be eight karts in the races. I had feared that Nintendo would be content to just do a graphics/roster upgrade and leave it at that.

I hope they have a large number of tracks this time. I was sort of disappointed at the selection of tracks in MK64. If there is a Battle Mode, I would hope that they get some better stages. "Double Deck" was fantastic, but "Big Donut" was average at best and "Skyscraper" was unplayable with more than two people due to the glitchy speed increase...

I think Daisy is just the alternate color of Peach. If you notice, Koopa troopa is also there with Paratroopa but also not listed. It makes sense to have alternate colors if they're going to have two characters per kart; I'd hate it if my friend picking a character that I wanted as a second character prevented me from picking that character as my driver.

I have never really liked any of the "Jr." characters (since when has there been a Luigi Jr.?) and Diddy Kong annoys the heck out of me (as do all Kongs except Donkey), but I can't complain too much. This is a new Mario Kart after all.

Me still thinks that the original Mario Kart was the best one.

I'm tired of Mario Kart. People thought it was the best thing since powdered toast when it came out on the N64, and that just annoyed me, especially when people were overlooking games like Daytona USA and Sega's other racers.

*Just grumpy because Daytona USA 2 still doesnt have a US release*

I guess its good news...

No, Daisy is on the character roster. IGN suprisingly didn't have this story locked and so the roster was listed, though Toad wasn't on it, there are 16 playable characters so far. I'm sure Toad will be in it, as there may be unlockable characters or un-named characters as of yet.

Oh well, now that I got that silliness out of me. I think that Luigi got shafted in kart design. He gets the barbie dream car, while Mario gets the bad ass Kart.

I can't wait. You can also play up to 8 players on there with the network stuff. At least that's what IGN said. It is IGN though......

I figured it was Daisy's kart and they had swapped places.

Phuck-IGN has larger pictures in a decent resolution. Judging by the photos, it seems that both the teams and the karts are interchangeable. Among the pictures, there is a Peach-Daisy team, a Mario-Luigi team, a Mario-Peach team, and a Luigi-Daisy team. That means the team are interchangeable. It also shows Luigi behind the wheel of both Mario's kart and Daisy's little dream kart, which means that the karts are interchangeable.

I also noticed that Daisy is not a palette-swap of Peach like she was in Smash Bros. Her head is different. The troopas might be different too, aside from just the shell colors and the wings on the Para-Troopa, but I can't really see. I wonder if they have different moves, too?

You guys have forgotten the most important thing announced so far... 8-player simultaneous! This would be an insane party game. Let's just hope it has better battle tracks than 64 and the AI isn't so ridiculously cheap.

I wonder how they will manage the 8-player mode. There's no current way to link up two GameCube systems... right? It will be interesting to see how that will be possible.

Anyhoo, as long as it's better than the N64 version, and that cheap spiked turtle shell is no longer a Mario Kart item, I will count the long, numerous days until I can play the game.

It has been confirmed to have LAN support. However, no one is sure how this will be pulled off exactly.

(since when has there been a Luigi Jr.?)

Since "Yoshi's Island:Mario World 2"

Spoiler (Highlight to view) -
When Kamek buzzes the Stork which causes Baby Mario to fall into the Yoshi's care while he grabs Baby Luigi and takes him to Baby Bowser's castle.

So he's just current Luigi as a baby, just as baby Mario is Mario as a baby and not his son. However, the new Baby Bowser IS Bowser's son just for confusion sake I guess.

End of Spoiler

On a side note: Remember how Kamek(the Magikoopa from the YI:SMW2) was supposed to be a character in Mario Kart 64 but was dropped for Donkey Kong? (actually I think Donkey Kong was dropped for Wario and Koopa Troopa for Kamek, but later Donkey Kong replaced Kamek for political reasons)

Yeah, well Kamek and Toad should be a hidden team.

They should also have Boshi, Shy Guy, Boo, DK Jr., and whoever else they'd put in a Mario Golf/Tenis game in there to.

Last I saw of the koopa kids was Mario is Missing (or Mario All-Stars, depending on how you look at it). I guess Bowser Jr. replaced them for some really REALLY weird reason Oo They don't even make cameos in any of the latest Mario games like Mario party or anything...

Thanks, Dr. B. I did already know that, but seeing as Baby Luigi hasn't even been seen since Yoshi's Island (and Baby Mario has) I thought there was some kind of logical explanation for the existence of Baby Mario and Adult Mario being in the same game. All this "Jr." crap is getting a bit redundant.

I, too, miss the Koopa kids. They were some of the coolest Mario characters ever.
