I'm really surprised there isn't a thread for this.

I was a bit spoiled by the Rainbow Road because of certain GAMING CHANNELS ON YOUTUBE.
Pretty sweet though.
Seriously though
Why the fuck is Metal Mario still here?
Like. What?
Couldn't you at least use Shadow Mario or something?
It's not a strike against the game but seriously why he here.
Could've used Nabbit or something.
 
Japan really likes Metal Mario for whatever reason
I honestly can't explain it that much, he's just popular there.

dat Shy Guy tho
love them little bastards

They like shiny things?
While I'm not that excited for him I like that they've changed up his dialogue so he's not an exact Mario clone.

Secret character pehaps?
N̶a̶b̶b̶i̶t̶ ̶j̶o̶i̶n̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶f̶i̶g̶h̶t̶!̶
 
When's Queen Bee?

Just kidding, I hope Dry Bowser/Funky Kong are back too.

As for race tracks, the new ones look beautiful and the old ones are a lot of my favorites (TICK TOCK MOTHERFUCKING CLOCK) so I'm looking forward to it for sure!

Where the fuck is my Coconut Mall?
In Mario Kart 7. I don't think they'll repeat Retro Tracks for a long time, which is admittedly disappointing.

though you know what is in?

MOTHER FLOCKIN' TICK TOCK CLOCK
TTC MAKES MY PPB (pee pee bigger)
 
I'm very impressed with the graphic and visual updates to all the retro tracks especially Donut Plains 3 and Royal Raceway.
 
Still no Wario Colosseum...sigh.

But enough of that, the rest of the tracks are just, just awesome!
 
Omg
I made a Mario Kart thread ages ago...
Double Dash was fun as fuck though.
 
Oh yeah Grumble Volcano and Music Park! It would be funny if they didn't fix the lap exploit on Grumble Volcano. Glad to see that they also made N64 Rainbow Road more exciting by adding some variety to it and adding the actual danger of falling off.

I guess the Wiggler motorcycle existing means that Wiggler probably won't return as a playable character because Wiggler riding a Wiggler motorcycle would just be odd.

I heard him say "Mia Mama" as one of his lines when he got a bad place.

Good enough for me.
 
So when's Kirby?
 
Wait... is that- FUCK IT'S METAL MARIO! NOOOO!

Everyone prepare for intense ramming.
 
plus they're basically making him reverse mario now
Mia Mamma and all that
 
B-but...mah waifu Wiggler...

(disregard everything I say after 10 o'clock from now on)
 
Yes, MK7 was a huge disappointment.
 
Toad's Turnpike <3 Final Lap portion made my ears do things that I'd rather not post.
 
Super psyched for this game man. I was already pretty psyched for it (Seeing as MK8 was one of the main reasons I even have a Wii U) but goodness this is just awesome. Rainbow Road 64 as the final race on the Retro Lightning Cup? Hell yes! The song is there, the new designing is there, but the feeling of playing N64 way back when is the only feeling that I think I'll be experiencing when I'm playin it.
 
I cannot wait to crush the competition and watch some inevitable item mayhem occurring. On the other hand, I will be relieving the nightmare that is Mirror Mode Toad's Turnpike.

That track wasn't even that bad. That Yoshi course was sent from hell though...
 
Yoshi Valley was my fuckin' TURF, yo
so happy to see that it probably is back
can't wait for whatever shenans they pull on it
 
Wasn't that the one where the map itself didn't know where the hell you where in the race?
 
More like screwing you over.
 
No man, DK Summit was fucking amazing. Although MKDS Rainbow Road is the best Rainbow Road of all time.

Can you imagine if they got rid of the out of bounds

and you can just drive ON THE CANYON WALLS

the hype would be so bread it wouldn't even be toast brah
 
hype so fierce that it needs a leash like goddamn that would be hype
 
Remember when Mario Kart Wii had good looking graphics


This side by side comparison blew my mind. I know 8 looks better, but not THIS MUCH better
 
MKWii was always more "polished gamecube" than good looking Wii to me
now
a good looking Wii is the likes of Galaxy 2 and Brawl
thems are some good looking wiis
 
Damn, now I want a Wii U...
