Topic: Mario kart 7 Discussion

I wish but its MARIO kart so he cant be that stinks

Yeah we need more characters from the RPG games though. Doubt from Super Mario RPG, unless Square randomly decides to let Nintendo use one of them from that game.

Even though its unlikely it is possible as the seven star spirits were in Mario party 5.

sad face

It's also not Donkey Kong Country Kart, yet characters from that serie made it to the Mario Kart serie.

I understand the addition of Donkey Kong, but Diddy and Funky shouldn't be there.

Or an Air Ride sequel. lol

Mario Kart is not highly character-based. Characters have different stats in some games. That's all. There's no reason to pull in characters from all sorts of other franchises just for another set of stats. Smash profits from its huge wealth of potential cast members because they bring with them wildly different abilities.

I would be interested to see a MK where characters are more unique than they are now: i.e. a special item that only that character can get, a unique ability that can be activated once a lap/race, or just different odds of getting different items to widen the item pool without bloating it. But then again, that could end up with balancing issues.

And really, they should just make an Air Ride sequel anyway. The game didn't feel even half finished, and yet it was still a blast.

I hope there aren't any SNES of GameBoy Advance retro stages. While those tracks were great in the original games, those flat stages just don't look good on the DS and Wii games. N64, Gamecube, DS and Wii tracks would fit into the different cups.

No baby characters, though.

A sequel to Kirby Air Ride? I would die happy.

they should have multiple rainbow roads, they brought back other tracks.
@Winslow nice avatar.

I agree, I would love to see the Rainbow road from MKW as thats my favourite track in the series.

DLC DLC DLC

Main reason I loved Double Dash, even though every character had its "double" (Mario and Luigi...Donkey and Diddy...King Boo and Petey. wtf? lol). Maybe that could be the "7" item in this game?....Doubt it. xD
And yeah, wish Air Ride got a sequel, I enjoyed it.

The pipe car in Double Dash was awesome. I want cool cart options like that.

The Lakitu cart cloud thing is looking really cool actually. I'll use that a lot most likely.

Ohhhh yea, I forgot Double Dash had special items. Nintendo's so good that they read my mind and go back in time to give me what I want.

I think we can all agree this will be the best Mario Kart ever.

Double Dash was indeed the peak (Off-topic: sort of like the first Galaxy for the platforming franchise). Not only did the characters have completely different special items which made a huge difference in gameplay, but you also had so many strategic combinations available due to the 2 slots. You could pair items together that might be handy in different situations, and of course the cart weight was also a factor to consider when building your team. Learning to play with different combinations felt very different, just like a fighting game, and unlike the other Kart entries.

I miss picking Waluigi and having all those wonderful bombs to play with, maybe putting him with a turtle to switch out for some spinning shells when I need defense instead (although let's be honest: dropping a bomb behind you in a narrow passage is the best defense of all). You could also hold an item in your secondary, imagine that! Such a varied and strategic game compared to the Wii entry, as much fun as that one may have been in other areas.

MK7 will probably be a close 2nd to double dash

What was that? You really need to put at least some effort in making your posts readable.
