I still hold alot of fond memories for the SNES battle mode. Free for all, in simple but nicely designed arenas that involved good driving skill and tactics.
@micronean Yea, the CPU certainly had a good aim alright! I lost count of the amount of times a banana would land bang on my wheels from out of nowhere sending me spinning!
I'm really looking forward to this game, it looks excellent. Donkey Kong Country Returns was a welcome return for the big ape and this Tropical Freeze should only improve on a great platforming formula. Bring it on.......... In February!
Such a shame on nintendo's part. This course is easily up there with some of the most epic & fun courses in mario kart history, yet it is ruined & very rarely now delivers the experience & enjoyment the designers spent a long time creating. What a waste of a great track due to the online majority choosing the glitch over a good ol' race. I dont get it!
