Grumble Volcano's music sounds the same as the one in the Wii. Seriously? Does anyone else think so?

Wouldn't be surprised. What can you improve upon that's not live performed when it's only a generation back?

I've been listening to some of the music and Grumble Volcano sounds very similar to the Wii version. Though I hear minor differences, like that one bit from 0:24. It sounds a bit different to me.

Forgive me but I haven't played a Mario Kart game since the DS but what do the coins do that you collect while racing? Do they have a specific job/purpose?

The more you collect, the faster you go.

I also thought they were there to unlock stuff

In Mario Kart 7, yes. But we don't know if that's the case this time around.

Coins were also in Super Mario Kart and Super Circuit and did nothing outside of the race track.

I already own 3 of the 4 games being offered for FREE. Looks like i'm going with Wii Party U (as long as the digital version counts toward the promotion, which i'm guessing it does.)

I'm in the same boat. Kind of a slap in teh face for those who have already purchased all of these games. I guess its Wii U party for me.

It seems one of the biggest complaints is the roster, but if it turns out Diddy, Boo etc are unlockable it shouldn't be a problem. I'd rather unlock a cool character like Diddy then Metal Peach.

We all know Wii Party U was shoehorned in for all the people who bought the other three games so they don't feel gypped.

Here's the box art and the main menu icon.

What I'm implying is that there was nothing to unlock in those games but seeing as karts come in separate parts there is something to use the coins on.

Though Mario is the "main guy," of the Mario Kart series do many people actually use him? I'm no Mario Kart expert and haven't played MKW in a few years and don't have a 3DS, but seems like from comments I have read people don't seem to play as him.

@Ryno - It's true that not many seem to play as Mario as much as the other characters. Example: whenever I play MK7, I see Yoshis and Toads, occasionally I see someone else playing Daisy and Rosalina and of course; an unnecessary amount of Metal Marios...

So it's not just me! Seriously, why do so many people play as Metal Mario? I just don't understand why.

Because he was pretty much the fastest in Mario Kart 7.

Oh....I never noticed.

Also, Super Mario Kart did not have any Luigi themed track.

One of my favourite pastimes was to do a few races and watch the replays of my performance. I don't know why but I always liked doing that. So I may end up spending a lot of time with MKTV. Hopefully the game records online races too.
