I recently saw the new Mario Kart Wii video and some pics. It's confirmed that Normal Boo is in the game as a character. You also see a stage from Super Mario Kart in the game in full 3D. It was in Mario Kart DS so I think they are doing ALL courses from Mario Kart DS even the retro ones, or maybe they are doing all retro courses from all the Kart Games. That would be cool. Maybe Nya can tell us more about the course :p

I am a tad concerned about the characters though. So far, all we are seeing is the characters from the trailer and first batch of pics. We haven't seen Daisy, Birdo, Dry Bones, and others who were in past Kart Games. They are probably in, but wont be shown until later.

There's actually 3.

Usually when there's a big curve, there's a ramp or small gap you can use to jump across. There's 2 ramps and one tiny gap. To pass the ramps, either use a mushroom, or mini turbo in 150cc, and the gap is passed with a simple jump.
Actually, the shortcut I use requires a mushroom. You cannot cross that big gap I used with a powerslide alone.

I'm taking that all of these were not possible without snaking, with the yoshi egg or dry bomber kart.
so what if snakers want to snake let us snake. thats like saying your not playing smash right if you play with items off. snakeing is not a glitch so why not do it.:mad:

Aye man! Chill! I'm not saying it's a bad thing! I do snaking myself. I'm saying that most of the times they got were by snaking.

...who said anything about snaking being a glitch?

I'm not even able to get my game online yet, I'm having problems with Nintendo's products this year.

Btw checkout my new scores on the first page. Some of them are really good

Edit: Nice scores JTB. How did you go so fast on Sky Garden?

Um, I don't remember how I got my time on RSG, it's been forever since I did time trials.

Just shroom the gap right after the second ramp and jump across the clouds near the end?

Not one of my best tracks.
