Classic circuits from every previous game… Swappable vehicles… Online tournaments with up to 12 players… A huge roster of characters… Brand new motion controls and a free steering wheel. You could knock us down with a green shell if this isn't the biggest and most ambitious Mario Kart to date - and a rival to Smash Bros as Nintendo Online Event of the Year.
While we haven't had a great deal of new info to drool over just yet, we've watched the existing video demo and pored over every screenshot until we're confident we can identify each individual pixel. The result of our investigation? Well, there's clearly a Baby Luigi in astroller lagging behind Wario in one shot, that's for sure.
Oh, and the Wario Mines track also appears to be constructed on multiple levels, a bit like a Rainbow Road level, so the small sections without barriers are going to be prime spots for a bit of cheeky shortcut cheating. Unless the designers put in some kind of invisible "no shortcut" walls, like in Excite Truck, but that would be a bit of a disappointment in a Mario Kart game.
