For the record, I am still 95% undefeatable on Banshee Boardwalk

Banshee Boardwalk is the [tornado fang]ing [parasitic bomb]. Man MK64... It's like sometimes I hate championing it because I get shot down for nostalgia arguments, but other times I'm there like "do these motherfuckers just not understand that MK64 was damn near perfect?!"

Protoman Blues · **Reply #276 on:** September 26, 2011, 06:30:26 AM

Damn near? MK64 WAS perfect.

Jericho · **Reply #277 on:** September 26, 2011, 06:35:11 AM

If it had online, there would be no reason for a new game, unless the new games were new track packs using the same engine/physics at that game.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #278 on:** September 26, 2011, 07:37:14 AM

I'm convinced that there is no onilne because everyone would play MK64 over MKWii.

For the record, Jelly, this is why you so need to come to PAX East. There are classic gaming rooms set up just for MK64 slug fests & the Power Stone world!

PAX East, NYCC... All the good [parasitic bomb] and no money to get there.

Well, for this year anyway. Next year should be a different story.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #280 on:** September 26, 2011, 08:13:40 AM

The great thing about PAX East is that it's relatively cheap. I may travel there by train, but you can get from NY to Boston for $10 courtesy of Chinatown Buses. The 3 day PAX East pass is only about $45, so what you really spend on is the hotel, and PAX East usually offers good deals, plus on PAX Forums you can find people wanting to room.

I have money to spend, and the trip costs me about, on average, $500. That's with a $98 train ride and spending for the best hotel because I like taking the elevator down from my room to the convention hall. Otherwise, you can easily do this very moderately.

I fully agree with you. I thought a lot of people loved the Royal Raceway, Rainbow Road and Toad's Turnpike (Which was difficult in itself and a nightmare in mirror for me ) in 64 so I don't understand why they never brought them back in the retro tracks for the newer games. Heck, I even liked Yoshi's Valley because you never knew who was leading until someone passes the finish on the final lap and there were so many routes you can go in the track so you can easily change things up.

It's easy to say why they never brought Rainbow Road back. That's the one track that's gotta be brand new and the final track in every game. I guess it's kinda like a tradition. It's always my favorite track, except for in Super Circuit, where they screwed it up good.

But in Super Circuit, they brought back all the SNES tracks. And with it, Rainbow Road. Why not do it again with a different Rainbow Road?

I mean, we do have the Retro Cups now...

(what if there was a secret Rainbow Cup that was made up entirely of old Rainbow Roads?

)

Everything alright, as long as they make a new Rainbow Road too, or an entirely new finishing track.

I'd honestly hate to get to the final unlock and go "Wait a second, I've played this crap before!"

Mirby · **Reply #284 on:** September 26, 2011, 12:01:25 PM

There will be a Rainbow Cup on both Nitro and Retro Cups.

Retro will be SMK, MK64, MKSC, and MKWii's Rainbow Road.

Nitro Cup will be Prismatic Path, Luminescent Lane, Crystal Courtway, and Rainbow Road.

Yes, all 4 Rainbow Roads, with differing names.

Bueno Excelente · **Reply #285 on:** September 26, 2011, 07:10:34 PM

Games are more and more in need of rainbows nowadays.

Also, I look forward to the DELICIOUS feeling that will come from racing my friends in it again and again, and hearing how they hate Rainbow Road and wish to go back to the baby starting tracks again.

Hypershell · **Reply #286 on:** September 27, 2011, 02:43:07 AM

It was always kind of a dream for me that the final Retro course in a Mario Kart game be a course that warps between all the past Rainbow Roads every lap.

I dunno, Daisy keeps me coming back to Double Dash.

That and in all honesty I did like Wii's half-pipes. Even though there is so much that game did wrong.

We need either that or a course made of ONLY Rainbow Roads. 64's would be obligatory.

Nintendo should honestly learn the value of expansion packs, and give us more tracks that way other than generational games.

Not a bad idea, but I don't think there's much of a financial incentive for them. So far they've been content to only release one Mario Kart per generation anyway.

Frankly, if any Nintendo game needs post-production DLC, it's Smash Bros. I still haven't excused Mewtwo's absence from Brawl.

Protoman Blues · **Reply #295 on:** October 06, 2011, 09:00:58 PM

It very well could be! I suppose I should post all the pics I saw on Kotaku!

Well, looks like another SNES Mario Circuit track will be making an appearance, and Maple Treeway from MKWii will return. My friend will be happy about this!

Also, I'd rather the Metal Block be an item rather than JUST Metal Mario. And that's solely cause I want to hear this power up song in the game!

FINALLY. New items that can probably change the way the entire game is played. This kind of stuff is what truly makes a real sequel.

Hypershell · **Reply #297 on:** October 06, 2011, 11:57:05 PM

Did I call that raccoon tail, or what? 'course, I was hoping the whole kart would spin, it'd be crazier that way. Instead, the tail has a mind of its own (and I can't do a thing with it

).

Koopa Clown Car is back, whoo! The bee kart that Yoshi is driving is pretty nifty, as well.

Can't argue with the music.

Another way to get it in would be if each character had their own victory theme, the way they used to do it in Super Mario Kart.
