Mario Kart 73DS

Hell yeah. Just get rid of blue shells please.

Awsome this looks better than the wii verson, I hope maybe they will let you download tracks frome the 3DS to the wii

@Pixelman,Probably not but I agree with you. I hate those stupid blue shells.

I want it to be toned down from the Wii version, less items and characters, and back to 8 players not 12.
And if they can stop people from cheating during online that would be great too.

The graphics looks great. I will buy this.

Nobody get between me and a 3DS. It is so on! I love Nintendo!

I wish for them to add customization to multiplayer (especially item control).

Item customization for Mario Kart 3DS = EPIC WIN for all

Track Editor and Downloadable Tracks please.

Awesome This is my character roster LIGHTWEIGHTS, Koopa Troopa, Toad, Toadette, Baby Mario, MIDDLEWEIGHTS, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, HEAVYWEIGHTS, Wario, Donkey Kong, Waluigi, Bowser,
UNLOCKABLES, Paratroopa, Baby Luigi, Daisy, Birdo, Donkey Kong J.R., Petey Prihana. Dlc(which should be a new feature) Jungle pack, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, Funky Kong, Lanky Kong, Cranky Kong, Tiny Kong and Chunky Kong. Koopa Pack, Bowser J.R, Hammer Bro, Dry Bones, Kamek, Magikoopa and Koopa Kid. Baby Pack, Baby Daisy, Baby Peach, Baby DK, Baby Wario, Baby Yoshi and Baby Bowser.Other dlc Charaters Shy Guy, Toadsworth, Boo, King Boo, King K Rool, Kritter, Goomba, Para Goomba, Wriggler, Monty Mole and Blooper.

The Game should be transferable with the wii so you can add extra characters and extra tracks. I also want them not to have 12 players go back to 8 definately dont have bikes its mario kart not mario bike and I do hope they dont have characters like Dry Bowser and definately Roselia she's the worst mario character of all time.

I'm so excited about this I'm not Getting a Nintendo 3ds until this comes out.

I Hope we see a return of Donkey Kong J.R.

Right this is my actual final character roster Starter Characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, Toad, DK, Bowser, Wario, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy. Unlockable Characters: Daisy, Waluigi, Birdo, Boo, Bowser Jr, Diddy Kong.
The reason why I haven't put DK Jr in is because I know he isn't gonna be on it because he has not apperaded in a game for 10 years now and there is no point of hoping he will. I think you should be able to transfer the characters who aren't on it from the wii version they should also be tranfered using their own colour karts from the 3ds kart shape version not the wii. And there needs to be downloadable characters for 50 3ds points per character Maybe then DK Jr will return then finally.

yellowtails said It would be funny if they had 16 people in races
@yellowtails do you want 16 people per race, and do you ever think DK Jr will return, and thanks for agreeing about my point about bikes do you think bikes will apeare on mario kart 3ds?

On the Mario Kart's I play as Koppa Troopa and DK Jr on SNES(well vc actually) Mario on n64(vc actually) Gba don't play on it it's that rubbish. Koopa Troopa and Para Troopa on the Gamecube. Yoshi on the DS. Koopa Troopa on wii. Who will it be on 3ds?

@tjarvis what's so cool

@nintendonerd147 What's so not cool? _Nerd

@NintenDude97 I was asking a question to tjarvis not you?

What I want of this? Well, Something closer to the NGC version: Special Items for specific characters; Piranha Flower (Petey Piranha, I guess it's the name) as playable character; Single Player in a Kart; Back to the 8 Racers; Blue Shells back to the NGC way (where you could flee from it just by using mushrooms in the turns); Some features from the Wii and NDS, like the Jump before Drift and left-right to get boost and BABY PARK!!! WHY DIDN'T THEY PUT BABY PARK ON WII?! (yeah yeah I know they already put it on the DS... sad) IT'S THE BEST TRACK EVER!!! (together with Yoshi's Island)...

BTW I wouldn't like to see the Bullet Bill item.

@Frango it definately should go back to 8 people per race

What about DLC Characters and Tracks? (New and Old Tracks that aren't avaidable in the game)

i hope they will have updates for games through wifi (or possible 3g) that would be soo cool. and if they had a make your own track and character and even kart i hope the 3DS has all this stuff in mario kart

If they Put More Characters This will Be An instant Buy!

The game itself wont be 3d but the power ups and they're effects (such as invincibility, or a blue shell) will.

Also I saw miis in the background witch makes me hope and wonder if there will be a mii channel for the 3ds.

@nintendonerd147
wishful thinking
this is a must buy for me i LOVE mario kart
looks like mario gets to drive around wuhu island too. cool. imported miis from he wii? or will they be made on the 3DS now?

looks cool. would be cool if there was a mii channel

I think the mario kart needs to have tricks to pull off. If it doesn't it will take me a long time to buy this game.
Unless of course if one tries to convince me.

Edit: If you didn't already know this there is a mii channel.

I'm so Excited

things i would like to see, 8 players on wifi instead of 4 , a bit more characters, l'd like to see some more girl characters maybe like rosalina or toadette so that way girls who play have more characters to pick from. Last mabye a track editor or downloadable tracks from mario kart wii & dirt bikes thats all.

Yeah, my wife loves Toadette. We just played some Mario Party the other night. You have to love the weird fungii pigtails! And do not get her started on why Toadette wasn't in Mario Bros. Wii instead of a blue AND yellow random Toad... This would be my number two character added in as a sleeper character; first would be Koopa Troopa.

This look amazing! it has such a great feel about it, and it seems to have learned alot from mariokart wii. this is what i love about Nintendo, they develope then shuffle( and they give us new games on older systems) i cant wait to get my hands on this it looks great!!! this has just sold me the 3DS, BTW did anyone notice the Mii's in the screen shots? will 3DS use Mii's?

Im a champ at MarioKart games. Im ready for the next Mario Kart game.

I think the Miis are there because that course is Wuhu Island from Wii Sports Resort. They might just be pre-set by Nintendo. But that's just my theory, It would be awesome if there was a Mii maker on the 3DS.

I only want 2 baby characters: Baby Mario and Baby Luigi.

Yoshi_2000 said:
"It would be awesome if there was a Mii maker on the 3DS".
They have confirmed that there will be a Mii creator/ Mii plaza on the
3ds. Wii Miis can be transfered with 3ds Miis as well!
Its just a matter of if nintendo will allow you to unlock your miis like on Mario Kart Wii. There's a good chance they will put that feature in.

________________________________________________________

Downloadable characters and tracks would be awesome! Now I'm going out on a limb here, but what if you could download specially made power ups?
Also will there be special items to each character like in Mario Kart: Double Dash? That would be cool.

This is my character roster/item list:
Starting characters: Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Koopa Troopa, Wario, Waluigi, Peach, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Toad, Goomba, Daisy, and Boo.

Unlockable characters: Mii, Baby Wario, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Paratroopa, King Boo, Petey Paranah, Dry Bones, Diddy Kong, Funky Kong, Bowser jr., Birdo, Paragoomba, Hammer bro., Shy Guy, Toadette, Toadsworth, red boo, and R.O.B.
Items: 1-3 green shells, 1-3 red shells, 1-3 bananas, fake item block,
1-3 mushrooms, mega mushroom, golden mushroon, poison mushroom(slows people down when run over), lightening, star man, bullet bill, blue koopa shell (nintendo is going to put it in anyway), brick block (sends people spinning when hit), and pow block.

I Know Right! The Should Definetly Have Updates In Wi Fi! And Yea They Should Have 8 Players In Wi Fi Cause I ALWAYS Play Online ! And Get To Choose From All The Races On Wi Fi Maybe A Few More Races. And The Online Wii Thing Where Yu Watch The People Racing While Yur Waiting Yup Im Definetly Getting This :]

I beat EVERYONE I Know At MK DS

Theyre Like Omg Yu Are So Like Cheating And Im Not ! I Even Beat This Guy Whos A Serious Gamer :3
_{please use the 'edit' link to edit your posts instead of spamming the thread. thank you -- TBD}

The only thing better than a serious,"illegal" street racer is a humerous, cartoonish racer (nothing against street racers).

I really want this game! I am totally buying it when it comes out!

WHY CAN'T TIME GO FASTER!!!
Virtually three months to go to see if all our speculation are true or not.

________________________________________________________

Three days 'til christmas!!!

In two of the screenshots,you will see Wii Sports Resorts's Wuhu Island,so i'm thinking also that Blue shell spammers can GTFO,[youtube:UUpXW1LdxPM]

I have a feeling people might hack online
if there was a plaza for people to meet up online that would be cool

@1 and @3

But it feels so good when you hit someone else(!) with a blue shell, right?!

How about some wifi updates?
Maybe you can have a friend join you and you can both search for a game? How about a little more customization.. more karts and characters? maybe new tracks for the history of Mario Kart? we'll have to wait and see. I have high expectations for this game.

What if you could customize your online item list? Different people would use different items they want to use. That would COMPLETELY change online gameplay!

What a stupid game!

Insta ...insta...insta....

An all time great

This looks so freaking AWESOME!!! Although I still hope something will come out for the 3ds for Sonic's 20th anniversary...

@Nintendude97 you broke the Yoshi chain!!! It had 6 yoshi avatars in a row, 3 different ones!!! You broke it!!!!

Its looks great and it looks like you can drive through Peach's Castle for once. There are only showing standard Karts though. That worries me.

@ some_guy:
They just dont want to spoil too much. We barely know any thing about it as it is!
What we know:
-It's in 3D
-It'll feature mario and luigi
-It'll have standard karts, at the very least.
There's nothing to worry about. More will come as time goes by.

Mario and Luigi the game only have thats cool i thought that mario kart 3ds has all the people from super mario.

that looks awesome i have every mario kart game and im looking forward to getting that one

i think it has all super mario guys iv`e watch an video of all the characters wich are in the game one of them is ROB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@56 they didnt reveal the characters yet, the movie you saw probably was a fake.

i knew they were going to make a mario kart for 3ds because they make only 1 mario kart game for each nintendo system.

I would like on my mario kart 3ds baby mario,baby luigi,baby peach,baby daisy,koopa,drybones,toadette and toad ,.............That was light weight...Middle weight are mario,luigi,peach,daisy,yoshi,birdo,bowser j.r,and diddy kong.......HEAVY WEIGHT!!!! wario,bowser drybowser,rosalina,donkey kong,waluigi,funky kong.and king boo..........................................................LEAVE COMMENTS ON WHAT YOU THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

blueboom:
You can transfer Wii miis to your 3DS! Hopfully Nintendo will let you unlock your mii, but thats the only problem; We don't know if you can or can't unlock miis.

______________________________________

You have a good roster, its just missing some more characters. It seems similar to the wii roster. other than that its pretty good.

they should defintely bring the miis racing in this game again and also maybe have use of the gryo feature by letting you move the 3ds left and right like mkwii with the wii wheel they should also have like molding of a wheel in diferent colors that you can just slide over the bottom of the 3ds that would be cool

@blueboom I heard its coming out june 2nd... is it?
@dsman Great idea!

@blueboom yea, i hope theres bikes because in mario kart wii, i use bikes all the time! I just dont like riding in a kart because in a bike, you can do wheelies. edit: if those are the actual characters, im gonna use my mii. I wonder if the mii characters start saying something else this time around instead of: "go go GO" and haHA because thats what my mii says lol.

@blueboom Ya, didnt you here! Nintendo's only using one friend code per system. so once you put it in, it just uses that code for all the games!
I also heard you could send messages to eachother via the upgraded pictochat.
p.s- I cant wait to use that new application!

Nintendo should drop the bikes. As much as i love the bikes, it drove me away from the karts and it really wasn't "Mario Kart" anymore. The bikes had huge advantages compared to karts like wheelies, cutting the corners easily, etc.
They should have those two person karts from Double Dash included with the normal karts. Maybe even a two person kart mode somewhere.

uhhhhhhh aprox. 1 month untill the 3ds hits the u.s. uhhhhhhhh so excited!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE MARIO KART!!!

5 more weeks till the Nintendo 3DS comes out!

I love the Bikes from MK Wii, I love the Blue Shells, I love the expansion to 32 tracks from MK DS onwards especially the use of retro tracks, however there obviously has to be something new for this MK. I'm hoping downloadable content eg new and old tracks or maybe some sort of Diddy Kong racing Adventure mode with a more or less open world to explore!(wuhu island with portals to the races?) Or a new game mode to replace or rival battle mode?

I'd personally prefer more tracks as although I loved Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart was the better racer in my opinion.

These four weeks are going to last forever!

Looks Pretty Good I Must Admit, Graphics Look Decent, Can't Wait To Buy This, And I Would Love To See A Return For 'GENO' On This Game!

@blueboom Sorry ive been gone so long, but anyways, im excited too! I cant wait intill all the mario games they listed(Paper mario,Mario kart, and Super mario bros 3d) come out! I really want that new super mario bros game b/c just by looking at the logo u can tell that the tanooki suit is coming back! I wonder what it looks like in 3d! P.s- blueboom, ur not blue anymore!

Hello true to all new character are: MARIO, LUIGI,WARIO,WALUIGI,BABY MARIO, BABY LUIGI, BABY WARIO, BABY WALUIGI, BABY PEACH, BABY DAISY, BABY ROSALINA, PEACH, DAISY , ROSALINA, TOAD, TOADETTE,KOOPA TROOPA, PARATROOPA,BOWSER, BOWSER Jr , SHY GUY, FLY GUY, KING BOO, PETEY PIRANHA, DONKEY KONG Jr, DONKEY KONG, DIDDY KONG, DIXIE KONG, TINY KONG, CHUNKY KONG, LANKY KONG, CANDY KONG, FUBKY KONG, KIDDY KONG, DRY BONES, DRY BOWSER, R.O.B, PAC-MAN, BLINKY, Ms.PAC-MAN, MAMETCHI, Jr. PAC-MAN, PRINCESS SHOKORA.

17 more days! : |

i wonder if you can transfer your mii to mario kart 3ds. that would be cool, you could play as your mii, just like in mario kart wii.

@salvador Why would they put all the kongs in one mario kart game...
and Arcade characters, r u serious! they only use arcade characters in arcade mario kart games like.... mario kart arcade GC and mario kart arcade GC 2

This game is going to be so awesome! I already pre-ordered my 3ds! One of the main reasons I am getting it is this game! !!!!!!

THE 3DS IS FINALLY AT THE 'STATES. Getting mine this weekend! I'm still dying for this game though. Mario Kart ROCKS! Oh well, I'll just have to settle on SSFIV.

No bikes Please Nintendo, apart from that I can't wait for this.....

I liked the bikes, but they don't seem to fit the title "Mario Kart".
I will be fine with either bikes or no bikes.

i want this game

Bikes are pretty fun, but can get cheap when against karts, especially if the bike user is very good. The items are the ones that can change the game (though not really if only a 1 on 1). I kind of don't mind if bikes make it in this game, but it should be limited to some extent, such as a limited consecutive amount of wheeling or a cool time between wheelings.

This is an instant buy for me, I adore the Mario Kart series. Hope Toadette and Koopa Troopa make it, as well as characters that were never in Mario kart. Tricks as well? They do help with races, somewhat.

I just want this game to fix all (or most of) the problems I have with MarioKart Wii.

1. Make The Unlock Methods Reasonable: I don't want to have to perfect a racing game to unlock characters, because at that point it becomes a chore. And since MarioKart Wii felt like luck-over-skill, I still have about 5 characters still locked, and I don't think I'll ever unlock them.

2. Balance The Items: One good example is that bloody lightning cloud, why do racers in 4th and lower tend to get an item that practically hinders there chances of winning even more? I say make that item for 1st place. As for the blue shell, I could care less about it.

3. Remove/Limit The Bikes: Isn't this game called Mario KART, so why are there motorcycles? On a more serious note, while I did like the bikes in MarioKart Wii, they had too many advantages over karts (speed-boosting wheelies, cut corners easier, etc.), making the karts practically useless against them in races. A consecutive wheelie limit would be nice.

And Finally The Biggest One For Me.....

4. Fix The Battle Mode: One of my favorite things to do in the previous MarioKart games was play a game of Balloon Battle, a free-for-all match where the goal is to pop other's balloons with items and be the last-man-standing (There is also Coin/Shine Runners, but I never found it as fun). Words could not describe my sadness and anger when MarioKart Wii decided to change an already great formula for the worse. Teams? Time-Limits? Points? Forget all of that and give us the free-for-all survival Balloon Battle we all knew and love from the other games, and if they must have the teams, time-limits and points, make it a secondary option like "Team Balloon Battle" or something.

Now I don't usually set some-what high expectations for a game, but MarioKart Wii really left a bad impression on me. Aside from that I really look forward to the game, MarioKart has always been my favorite racing series, and for good reasons. Competition is fierce, yet there is always a chance for an underdog to win with a lucky item. And no friendship can end faster than by stealing a victory with the help of a Koopa shell.

I don't care if there's no blue shells, I just want the game!

I looked at Gamestop, and the releases for Paper Mario, this game, and Super Mario 3D are anticipated to be on August 2 this year (oh please God, not next year)!

I love mario kart I would sell my home for a nintendo 3ds and mario kart.

I love every mario game ever!!!!

IM getting my 3DS today!!!!!!!!!

YYYYAYYAYAYAYYAYYAYYYYYYYYYYYYAYYYYYy I can't wait till this comes out. I hope this game takes advantage of the 3DS's Gyroscope!

Some screenshots show this game to be set on wuhu island! Is wuhu island the next mushroom knigdom?

cant wait!! multiplayer!

Please release this soon, Nintendo!!!!!

aaaaaaaaaaaw yeah

I've heard it's coming out July 2nd. I hope! That's only next month if it's true but it seams kind o early, they would probably have a description by now if that was true....

Hella yeah Im ready to pwn in some Mario Kart w/ awesome gameplay followed by some awesome graphics

does anyone know when this comes out to north america?

Hopefully they'll have Shy Guy as a playable character. I know he was in MKDS, but only through DS Download Play and hacking. It'd be nice if I could play as him without the use of those. Or, at least some other enemy other than Koopa. Dr yBones is OK, but someone else would be nice, like Blooper, Shy Guy, Boo (or keep King Boo), idk I guess it's not necessary, but Shy Guy for the win!

mario kart is awesome and i look forward for it coming out and Yoshi is so cute

Man,I can't wait for Mario Kart. I just wish people would stop using the annoying Blue shells.Ugh.

So excited!

On pre-order since launch. Mariokart is always a good time, and for once the mobile versions have trumped the console outings. DS version was spot on the feel of the snes versions tension, and excitment. I hope that makers of chocabo racing and facekarts are face-palming.

finally something more popular than Ocarina of Time!
I still don't see why that game is so great. It's just a remake.

@blueboom theres gonna be more characters, they just didnt want to reveal too much of whats really in the game . also, i think it was just that one course that had 2 laps

@blueboom ya, im so glad, the 12 players playing at the same time scheme sucked! cool, there will be more pics on saturday? Btw, do u got a 3ds? We should exchange friend codes

@blueboom the others you posted are real? Or just what you want to have? Where did you get your source?

@blueboom
Holy cow thats so cool! When it comes out in november imma get it from game stop as a free gift for purchasing the 3DS when it first came out at game stop! I am so excited for it to come out but im not so pumped about the LONG wait.... oh well

Cannot wait any longer for this.

Mario Kart... 7... I sure hope Nintendo changes the name of this game before it comes out. Looks awesome, though.

I WANT ROSALINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me too, but Rosie was just a guest character, and her debut in the Galaxy series will probably be the first and the last.

I hope they bring back the feather from Super Mario Kart. The feather is still my favriote power up and it would be cool if Rosalina was in the game.

I want the SMK course where the Monty Moles attach themselves to you.

@45 Yea, but if you are any good at mario kart you will get hit by it more often than getting the item to hit others with.

@135 Agreed. It completely takes away the fun from the skilled people.

So no bikes? I'm fine with that, bikes were way overpowered, with their sharp turns, and their wheelies, and their...ways.

MOTION CONTROLLED steering and 3D graphics will put players directly behind the wheel. plz nintendo. make it happen

there is a screenshot of both screens. on topscreen, there is mario and luigi on a bridge, a volcano, and a blimp. the blimp has the word 'wii' on it. i cant believe nintendo is advertising the wii on mariokart7 XD

does anyone know if mario kart 7 can play 2 player with other ds's like the ds lite?

i mean so you could have a 3ds with the game could it play 2 player with the ds lite?

Why does every one hate the blue shell? It's so rare (in the versions I've played at least) and it adds a wonderfully fun random quality to the game.

@140

i know for a fact that it is impossible for a 3DS game to be played multiplayer w/ a DSlite system.this is true because the systems run on different engines. but a 3DS is backwards compatible, therefore it CAN play multiplayer w/ a DSlite, BUT it has to be a DS game.

3DS games are shaped differently to normal DS games anyway, so they dont fit in to begin with.

@AutoSkip It adds a wonderfully fun I WAS IN FIRST AND NOW I'M IN EIGHTH quality on Nintendo WFC. XD

once 3DS sales rise, I will get that and the 3DS.

My dream characters in Mario Kart:

Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Baby Peach
Baby Daisy
Baby DK
Baby Yoshi
Lakitu (drives on a floating cloud and has a special item of spinies that just run around)
Shy Guy
Fly Guy
Toad
Yoshi
Koopa Troopa
Toadette
Goomba
DK
Tiny Kong
Dixie Kong
Funky Kong
Kranky Kong
And finally, Pianta

One thing's for sure, in the mario kart they really need to take teams out of the Battle mode! For instance in mario kart wii , if your really good at the game and bad people are on your team, they bring your whole team down because they have no idea what they're doing. I also hate how they changed balloon battle and made it have a point system! this completely takes out the free for all feel other mario kart games had! Heres hoping they change all the flaws in mkw(including the unavaibility to dodge a blue shell without a star or a giant mushroom and it being in battle mode which really sucks!)

this game looks really good.

Mario Kart Wii is my favorite in the series. I'd like to play a demo of 7 before I decide I if want it.

Just wondering if this will worth the money.. Will this be too simmilar to mario kart ds? just underwater and flying... and maps. Well my point is: I don't know if this will be any funner than mario kart ds...

Sorry guys, looks like there will be blue shells after all. I hate them too, but look on the bright side! New characters, Kart customization, Gliding, Propelling underwater and more! This is going to be a great game.

If you go here
http://nintendo3dsblog.com/new-screenshots-and-trailer-for-mario-kart-7

you can see the trailer for Mario Kart 7 and if you look at the items you can see that the Spiny Shell/Blue Shell has no wings!

I feel that if the blue shell were like mario kart 64 it wouldn't be so bad because it plows through the other players instead of flying over them
an if you go here

http://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart_7

you can see the playable characters and in my opinion I'M SO HAPPY THAT ROSALINA IS BACK!!!!!! i think they should also add toadette

@WhiteMage75 I'm happy that she's back too! Happy for lakitu too, but Metal Mario seems a bit random.

This trailer has better quality

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckObSoP8Kd4&feature=channel_video_title

here are the confirmed Characters so far :
mario
luigi
princess peach
princess Dasiy
Rosalina
Toad
Yoshi
Bowser
Koopa Troopa
Donkey Kong
Wario
Mii

NEW CHARACTERS SO FAR:
Metal Mario
Lakitu (red shell)

thats all the characters who have been comfirmed so far ! 17/9/11

Will you be able to play as Lakitu with a green shell?

Isn't this the first Mario Kart to have a number in the title? Why now, after six freakin' games, do they decide to let us know how long they've been making this series?

meal mario how cool is that and my dad prorder it

I cant wait for this game to come out! i hope they bring back baby Mario and baby Luigi because they were one of my favorite characters.

i hope that they put a course that is inspired by super Mario sunshine because that was one of my favorite Mario games of all time.

They added 3 new items and a classic! the Fire Flower, Tanooki Leaf, and the 7 in the title and took out the flying blue shell and added the original spiky blue ground shell!!

i can't wait til it comes out! i herd there is all new karts,and tracks. its gona be sweet!

it would be cool if metal mario or someone like pianta was in the game or even kamek, birdo, the cloud guy or black and white mage from mario basketball

We don't know yet, Raghav, but we can assume it's going to be about $40, same as the rest of the first-party 3DS titles. :3

i cant wait

@76. Yoshidude it comes out til december but Japaness gets it til November it really really not fair cause japenness people make nintendo there. @everyone I got mario kart 3ds as a demo which I have to get another one til December.. The demo was awesome but one thing was hard with the glider that u need to press a then the up circle pad

So yeah. Day one!

I wan't this so badly. But I would have to use my pocket money would be around $60 here... expensive to me...

@ Reghav: it is 40 dollars. I just paid it off at Gamestop. Yay.

@Raghav
Mario land

I GETTING IT TOO!

First person view FTW!!!

The character list is:
Mario, Luigi, Princess peach, Daisy, Toad, Yoshi, Koopa trooper, Bowser, DK, Wario, Rosalina, Shy guy, Mii

And metal mario and lakitu (the cloud guy)

Oh I almost forgot dry bones and waluigi

Also these SHOULD be included:
Pianta, Petty pihranha, Goomba, Birdo, ROB, Baby luigi, Baby mario, King boo, Pacman and blinky (they once did appear in a mario kart game!), Mametchi (the tamagotchi one) (he also once appeared in a mario kart game aswell), Mc ballyhoo (the one from mario party wii), Hammer bro, Blooper, Chain chomp, And something like a Venus fly trap

Also maybe whomp, Professor. E Gadd, Something like a 3d 8-bit mario, funky kong and the chimp from mario galaxy

loads of people will be with me when I say I am REALLY looking forward to this

I want this. Wifi, streetpass, spotpass, gyro controls, customizable karts, MARIO! How much better can it get?

I can't wait for this:)
Also looks more toned down than MKWii too...hope there are not that many items boxes per lap and also 8 players will make for better racing.
MKWii is just too chaotic sometimes...
But I think this could be the best yet:)

cant wait! i will have all the mrio karts when i get this one!

Man this game is going to be really fun. But what really gets me excited is that there are customizable karts. Just imagine how many possible combinations there are, not to mention some karts change depending on the character. (Example: The kart with the Mario logo on the hood, that logo changes on the other characters and so on.)

My friend code is 2191-7746-7438 and my name is EagleLion.
I am going to add shadowluigi and blueboom

Cant wait for this game, pirannah slider looks great, amd its obviously based off of Super mario bros.

hey bluebloom i got super mario land 3d go to your friend list and look at my favourite title

yes i am and i checked

Characters I would have added:
Donkey Kong JR
Boomerang Bro
Kamek
Metal Mario (MY IDEA)
Lakitu (MY IDEA)
Baby Yoshi (No other babies though)
Mona
Toadette
Waluigi
Diddy Kong
Dixie Kong
Prof. E. Gadd

nintendonerd147 is asking for WAAAAY too much, characters that wouldn't even work.

rockkkkkkkkkkssssss

@190

My thoughts exactly.

Sorry to all the Waluigi fans out there; he's not playable in the game - at all! At least you have his awesome Pinball stage though.

And I get to play as Rosalina on her brand new Ice World level!

Ugghh! You Guys Need To Stop Complaining About The Blue Shells. Sure I Hate'em Aswell But If Nintendo Take Them Out, It Makes The Game More Boring. There Are Ways To Avoid Them And I Will Post It Later On And You Guys Have Much Better Stuff To Take The Lead Such As: Better Drifting, Skills In The Air To Get Boosts, And No Ghost Items So People Cant Take Your Items. All Im Sayin Now Is If U Wana Win, Use A Kart With Really Good Acceleration. Im Talking About Yoshi. He May Be Light But He Sure Is Fast!

I Will Be Back To Help All Mario Karters With Useful Tips To Help Them Win. Im On My Fone Right Now So I Can Only Use 512 Characters When I Write Wich Is Rubbish. I Need Way More, So When Im On My Pc I'lll Give You Guys Very Usefu Tips

1st of is blue shells.
everyone should know the place dk pass in the leaf cup in mario kart 7 but in the start cup in mario kart DS. Im pretty sure that the majority of mario karters always go past this place. in dk pass there is a hidden item box located on a hill on the left just shortly after the second items boxes. now this certain item box contains only 3 items and it does not matter position you are in to get these items. it contains a single mushroom, three mushrooms, or s super star. now if you are first (like me always) if you can find the item box get it and hope for a star. now if you get it do not use it when you want or when a red shell comes. it just a waste. wait for a blue shell to come then activate it then you are invincible. another place where you can dodge the blue shell is waluigi pinball but this is with no items. you just need to be fast enough. if someone has sent a blue shell to you make sure its when you are round the start of the lap near the hyperjump then if you are in the hyperjump while the blue shell come it will hit but it wont affect you.

2nd is drifting. everyone with the new mario kart should take advantage and practice drifting on tracks in time trail to get better now that it is much easier. now that you dont need to press left and right until your sparks turn orange in mario kart 7 you just need to have a better angle and speed and you can get a boost with the blue sparks aswell which is good aswell so my advice is to practice on tracks that you normally have trouble with then soon you will be soo far ahead that when a blue shell strikes they will be too far back to catch up

3rd is tricks. try to get on anything that lifts you up into the air like ramps and stuff and just press the r button to a trick to do a trick in the air. it may be a little boost but it will make a big difference.

4th is kart selection. every kart has an advantage and a disadvantage to it aswell. e.g. a kart with top speed has bad handling and little boosts when coming of ramps and such, a kart with a lot of acceleration is very light and can be easily barged of the track. even though all karts have disadvantages i always use yoshi. he has great acceleration in the egg cart but very light weight but im always far ahead so they cant barge me off the track

5th is coins. you are very lucky coins are back again because they increase your top speed and they spawn every lap if you lose any coins during the lap grab as much as you can even though your limit is only 10 so you can not only increase your speed but to unlock more car parts aswell

This is James McCloud. I have it since its first North American day, December 4, 2011.

I have already got it when it released and it awesome

I like it. i love metal mario and lakitu i give 95% to this game the battles are so cool and my favorite track is daisy cruise ship and maka wuhu

I don't usually like racing games, but Mario Kart is amazing and this one is the best yet. But even so, as soon as they take out Blue Shells, it will instantly become many times better. It's literally just that simple and I don't get why Nintendo can't realize that. They can add an option for it, just as long as the default for everything is "no blue shells".

The best game ever

I think this is best MK game ever.I'm online player and I play only with Metal Mario and my favourite tracks is:Maka Wuhu(Wuhu Mountain Loop),SNES Rainbow Road,and Wii Mushroom Gorge.I like Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii too

Here is my Formula One Cup community number:05-1024-3592-9787.Class:150cc.Items:Mushrooms.Drive in my community!

Remove stupid blue shells I hate them!!!

@Angaran sorry dude, but it doesn't. It does have tracks FROM the Wii, though... like Mushroom Gorge.

@X-145 I like your pic LOL

great game, i've only had this for 5 months so im a little late to this game but i love it .

↑ This is rather odd.

The person above me posted very recently, whereas everybody else posted YEARS ago…

@Yellowtails (I know this is very late) Basically the way Nintendo is headed, Mario Kart 9 will be called Nintendo All-Stars Racing…

@nintendonerd147 (Also very late) You don't have to use bikes if you don't want to. I honestly thought they just added more variety to the game (along with stunts and wheelies, that added more need for skill in the game). It was your choice whether you chose the bikes or not in game, so it really has either a positive effect, or no effect on the game.

Also, Rosalina is one of the only developed Mario characters. I don't know why you hate her so much, but I can tell you for sure there are much worse characters (E.g. Clones like Tanooki Mario in Mario Kart 8)

I expected it to have more characters?? NO WALUIGI??? Anyways,,,, i love it hejejehehe

I Love this game

If you want to be friends with me, My friend code is 1092-4393-9799,
If you register me as your friend, make sure to put down your friend code. I will often be Online in Mario Kart, so feel free to play with me.

I will play this with literally anyone

my friend code is 4872-0695-6915
also my mario kart 7 community code is 19-4820-2370-1798

All things considered, its a pretty good Mario Kart Game for the 3DS. At first my major disappointment was the seemingly lack of characters, but once I figured out you can unlock them by completeing the cups in 150cc, my 8/10 score for this game is now kept.
Do I think they could've added a tad bit more? Yes, but for what its worth, its good!

Looking Back,

• It's Mario Kart, of course I'll buy it!
• My thumbs would hurt a little after playing for long periods.
• If you haven't play it yet, I'm assuming you have 8 or 8 Deluxe.
