I remember a leak or something a while back where Nintendo was testing additional foldering of some characters back is Wave 2 or 3, potentially to make room on the roster. I had given up on this once Birdo came out and we saw 5 additional ? marks, but now there was actually something to that...

The SNES track is likely SNES Bowser Castle 3 since it looks like it was built with anti-gravity in mind when added to Tour.

Wave 5 is awesome! I’m particularly excited for Daisy Cruiser. Its a fan favorite, and its actually my favorite Double Dash track. I’m also excited about Kamek, Petey and Wiggler being in as it’ll had more variety to the game I’m not glad they aren’t ramming all koopas in the game. Imagine if we...

Now the real question is, is Birdo’s model also from Tour, made from scratch, or repurposed a Switch model.

N64 Choco Mountain got an unexpected glow up that I did not expect, especially the glider section. They added some Mario Kart 8 charm with the fossils in the walls, gems sprouting from inside the extended cave area, plus some dead foliage and signage. Also, for those who want to know who the...

I’m not sure how I’d do another Mario game, but I have had a plan on what the next Mario Kart game should be like. • 48 Tracks - 24 New, 24 Retro • All items from MKT return, and this time, everyone has access to them. • All karts, bikes, wheels and gliders from previous Mario Kart titles. •...

Wow, I can practically feel the slap going across my face.

That’s Rocky Wrench, not Monty Mole.

Watch them give us something other than Funky Kong, like Dixie Kong or Donkey Kong Jr.

Monty Mole? Why doesn't Nintendo just continue to slap me around with a rubber hose?

Looks like SNES Vanilla Lake 1 is also back. Wasn't this a highly requested track or was it Vanilla Lake 2? I like how they modernized at bit and eliminated most of the 3D elements. It's not as updated as Donut Plains 3, but it'll do I guess.

Oh I agree with you wholeheartedly. She should really be in future titles. At least she's not a baby, a koopa, or metal clone. I'm intrigued to see how they handle Nabbit. When he appeared in Mario Golf and Olympic Games, he still held on to his bag with one hand during the entire time. I wonder...

I was browsing Mario Wiki and noticed that it’s been stated that this is the ninth installment of the series. Is that true? Has that been explicitly stated somewhere? I just the Game was just a mobile extension/spin-off of the series rather than being game #9. Hopefully Mario Kart 10 happens...

Saw a badge that contains Birdo’s bow emblem. I imagine she’ll be added soon.

Tokyo Blur would make a good course in the Shell Cup since it's kind of short.

The reason I posted that picture of Rosalina at Rainbow Road earlier is because there is no section of that track that looks like that in SNES Rainbow, which leads me to believe that it’s actually GBA Rainbow Road.

What do you guys think of the new items they've introduced so far, and do you think they have a place in future console Mario Kart titles? Coin Box, Dash Ring, Bubble, Banana Barrel and Mushroom Cannon would be interesting to see in Mario Kart 9.

This image of Rainbow Road looks suspicious...

What can I say about this game that hasn’t already been said? Hmm... well, let me tell you that I believe it’s a complete slap in the face to MK8D players who were yearning for Diddy Kong, Birdo and a few others to return as either DLC or what not only for Diddy to return in a Mobile variation...

Still crossing my fingers for Rex. Not just for Aces, but for ANYTHING really.

For those that are unaware, Link’s Awakening is being remade with a top down 3D style, and we know Mario elements are intact as Chain Chomp is in the trailer. Admittedly, I never played Zelda games before, not my cup of tea, BUT there happens to be a character named “Mamu” who is clearly Wart...

Okay, really lazy work Camelot. Why is her name PAULINE and not Pauline? They had one job... Pauline is finally playable in something and they screw it up. From what I gather, this only occurs in the US version of the game.

What does this mean? Baby Mario will be coming with Luma or as part of a future update? Also, someone found something strange in the datamine that you can get “unlock Kamek” by beating him.

Two characters per month make sense. As I previously said on Reddit, the way the CSS changed is evidence of this. We now have 4 characters per row instead of 3. If they continue the pace of 2 per month, then this is probably how the CSS will look: ~[Paratroopa] [Shy Guy] [Petey] [Jan Char]...

There is a storied history, not just with Nintendo, but with gaming in general. I feel like Smash celebrates all aspects and avenues of game so here are some franchises that I think should have some representation, either as playable characters, ATs, or trophies. Crash Bandicoot Spyro King...

Even though BOTW Link is a separate costume, you can still race against both of them as NPCs. I was going through 150cc Shell Cup with Lakitu, and both Link and BOTW Link appeared together. I guess they are being treated as Villager in this sense. They are adding new content for this game...

Re: Mario Kart 8 Could be their potential colors if included in Smash Bros. plus 2 additional colors.

Re: Mario Kart 8 I guess it is too much to hope for that there might be more content we haven't seen yet?

Re: Mario Kart 8 See, I'm torn here. We got that ominous tweet that stated "Good things come to those who wait" with a MK8 hashtag and an image of N64 Kalamari Desert. On the other hand, I do not see them surpassing 4 retros per game so N64 already has 4 tracks. However, we also already have 3...

Re: Mario Kart 8 In terms of tracks, I'd love to see SNES Mario Circuit 4 and GBA Bowser Castle 4 since all the others from their track lines have been used. Maybe they should even dive into SNES Bowser Castle tracks.

Re: Mario Kart 8 I really hope that pic of Kalamari Desert that was posted on Twitter means something. I do wonder how many more tracks and characters we will get?

Re: Mario Kart 8 Anyone else notice that in the original promo shot for the Animal Crossing track, when the DLC was first announced, it has the "New Leaf" emblem above the sign at the starting line? Yet it is seemingly removed in the latest video? Me thinks they are trying to put New Leaf...

I would love to see The Koopalings dropped in the next installment, but I would add Boom Boom and Pom Pom because thry've appeared most recently in the main games. I think Nabbit being playable in Mario Golf World Tour solidified him as "entering the fold" sort to speak, as well as Spike. I also...

Re: Mario Kart 8 I'm sorry if this was brought up, but I haven't had a chance to to cycle through most of the latest pages. What do you guys make of this? http://youtu.be/_X05fCk1nsY

Re: Mario Kart 8 Today is the day I finally got 3 stars on every cup on every CC! Took forever, but White Yoshi did it. :-)

Re: Mario Kart 8 Got the update and DLC preordered and I'm pretty impressed with what I see. The CSS and SSS are kind of weird at the moment because they have placeholders where the characters and cups should be but it'll look nice once everything is there. White Yoshi looks amazing in the game...

Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC leaked I hope they give us the ability to have a 48-track versus race. It looks like the Triforce and AC cups will focus on Nintendo franchise tracks, while Egg and Bell focus on more retro tracks. I would imagine the 4 karts tie-in with each of the franchised tracks? We...

Re: Mario Kart 8 DLC leaked This DLC is interesting. At least it explains why extra track icons are in the game's coding. I never thought I'd see the day where Link would be playable in Mario Kart. I'm more interested in the tracks though and I hope they have trailers for the DLC packs like...

WTF @ those California locations.

Re: Mario Kart 8 You know what's interesting though? We haven't had a Wario track remade yet. Nintendo seems to be avoiding retro Wario tracks like the plague, but why? It seems beyond coincidence that not a single Wario track has seen the light of day since it's original inception. I wonder if...

Re: Mario Kart 8 There is this French guy on Twitter named Keyk @Planetenintendo who claims he has played a April demo version of MK8 and tweeted the following info: Grand Prix Mode can be played with up to 4 players. Moo Moo Meadows and Toad's Turnpike return as retro courses 16 Nitro and 16...

Re: Mario Kart 8 Finally someone is making sense. I just read over the "Naming" page on the Wiki. Conjectural names seem harmless enough. http://www.mariowiki.com/MarioWiki:Naming Pretty straight-forward if you ask me, yet on the discussion page, there is banter about the names being...

Re: Mario Kart 8 Thing is, one by one those names turn out to be correct. How many more need to be confirmed before they aren't random anymore? The Wiki has drawn this out to the bitter end, and for what? If they are random, and they list it as confirmed when it turns out to be something...

Re: Mario Kart 8 I know it was. I was being sarcastic and making light of the fact that it was named as such without it being confirmed by an official source (because we all know how unofficial those Nintendo Directs are).

Re: Mario Kart 8 It's just been revealed that Sunshine Airport's official name is... DRUM ROLL PLEASE ...Sunshine Airport! I'm so glad it's official now. Mario Wiki can finally add it's name to the track list because it wasn't official before....oh wait...

Re: Mario Kart 8 Well if it quacks like a duck...

Re: Mario Kart 8 Looks like the three flags above Mario Kart sign has a star on them which may mean this could be part of the Star Cup. So now we know the Star Cup will have: Sunshine Airport "Klub Koopaling" Cloudtop Cruise ???? We know Toad Harbor is Flower Cup. Twisted Mansion is...

You are just brimming with positivity today aren't you?

Re: Mario Kart 8 I'm intrigued as to how the Koopalings will be unlocked. I can't see them being unlocked in Grand Prix or Time Trials, so I wonder if this spells the return of Mission Mode from MKDS. Would make sense. There were 7 Levels in the game with an end boss for each, and it's similar...
