Mario Kart games are usually day one purchases for me, but A 10?! Wow. Good thing 'm picking it up this holiday season. And don't give Needles the attention. He's just a fail troll.

I can't believe this game got a ten. It was the last thing I was expecting in all honesty. Now I kind of want it.

Jesus Christ. The game looks WORSE than when it was on the original Nintendo. How does 15 years pass by and the technology remain the same? Usually game systems get BETTER.

I'm quite surprised how uninformed your information is, considering Super Mario Kart released 19 years ago on the Super Nintendo. If you're gonna troll, at least take the time to do a quick Wiki search or something.

19 YEARS AGO!!! Sweet Mary Mother of God! How is Nintendo still in business? Oh, I forgot. It's because of young children and casual gamers.

I have such a love for the Mario Kart series I've never cared if they don't change much. Every single one (except DS... so far) I've played for countless hours. I'm so excited I read the review twice... Now I just have to wait until Christmas.

Engineering Geek: Assuming that the rpm of the wheels stays the same, then bigger wheels mean more distance is covered each time the wheels revolve, hence the higher top speed :P

WOW YOU MUST SURE BE A HUGE GEEK TO KNOW SOMETHING LIKE THAT. Doesn't the mass of the wheels in some way hinder it having the same RPM?

The land speed record is held by a tractor. (This 'fact' was taken from the back cover of Bloody Handsome Tractors for Xbox 360)

So when Resi Evil the Mercenaries comes out and doesn't have an option to delete save data everyone flips out and punches things. When Mario Kart comes out and has the same problem, it gets mentioned in one sentence and doesn't influence the score at all? Seems a little bit uneven to me. Actually, if Mario Kart has no options at all, why is that not considered a bad thing?

the game also wasn't very good seeing as how it was the bonus section of a 2005 game...

Calm down, I've checked the retail version and you CAN delete your save data by holding down specific buttons when you load it up.
