Action replay

Is it okay to mention the action Replay unrestricted Karts thing? Thats what I use all the time (Wario and King Boo in the Bullet Blaster)and am wondering if it was okay for the article. -- WarioLoaf (talk) 21:08, 15 October 2007 (EDT)

No, because action replay is a tool that alters a game. It's a bit different for SSBM since it reveals beta data though.Knife (talk) 23:31, 8 December 2007 (EST)

Alright then, let's get rid of it. User:Imperialscouts

Shortcuts in Yoshi Circuit

I noticed on the page for Yoshi Circuit that it said there were two shortcuts in the course, one of which was removed in Mario Kart DS. I found the one that was kept, but could anyone confirm and point me to where I might find the one only in MKDD? If anyone has an answer, I'd appreciate it if you could leave it on my talk page.

Battles

Shouldn't Balloon Battle, Shine Thief, and Bob-omb Blast have their own articles? NMRodo

That would make sense... InfectedShroom.Infectoicon.png

Okay, well something this minor shouldn't have to go through a proposal, so I'll get started right now. NMRodo

Colon to Dash

Why is there a colon in the title?

  1. There's no colon in the game logo.
  2. There's two dashes. Maybe we should switch them around?

I'm pretty sure they're just racing stripes. Unless the Japanese version with three uses the Greek letter Xi (Ξ) or something. The article here is titled the way Nintendo lists it in support documents as well as Fiscal 2004 (PDF), see "Revenue and Expenses", page 36. --Turkishcoffee 02:37, 4 April 2010 (EDT)

Trivia

  • The two Exclamation marks in the title(!!) are part of the name "Double" Dash.
  • The "Congratulations!!" screen, shown when players receive a trophy, also has two exclamation marks.

Are these two really notworthy

Definitely not. Time Questions 16:23, 9 May 2008 (EDT)


King Boo & Petey Piranha

  • Wouldn't you say this game hints that Petey and King Boo have a realationship? Mario freak
No. Hinting both characters have some relationship with the other is sheer speculation.

  • But they are on a racing team together and in Superstar Baseball they have good chemistry(and Super sluggers). Also in Superstar Baseball they are both on the Wario Greats Mario freak

Hey, I would say that you are right because there's a Boo Pipe and a Pirahna Pipe on Mario Kart Double Dash!! plus, what Coincollector is saying is right: I would overall say.... YES, they do have SOME sort of relation!

Look what's in the boxart...

I don't think that anyone actually noticed this, but Luigi's L in the boxart is backwards! But the boxart doesn't depict Mirror Mode because the DK on the DK Jumbo is not reversed. Is this mistake good enough to be placed on a trivia or is it too minor?

BTW, the reversed L is not in the Japanese boxart.

Golden Mushroom Reference

In the References in Later Games section, it states that the Golden Mushroom and the Bob omb were special items in this game and were used as regular items in later game. I think the Golden Mushroom should be taken out, as the Golden Mushroom's Mario Kart debut was Mario Kart 64.

Rattle Buggy stats

The Rattle Buggy article says that it is faster than the other karts the game rates with 2-star speeds. But how does that make sense if the Actual Stats section of this page says the Rattle Buggy has a 1 out of 9 internal speed rating, and that all the rest of the 2-star-speed karts have either 2, 3, or 4 Top Speed internally? Furthermore, it's weird the chart says that the Goo-Goo Buggy is the exact same in all areas except higher speed, making it technically completely superior. 50.152.154.193 00:15, 13 December 2013 (EST)

Well, this is mostly Nintendo's fault. The stars shown in the game are inaccurate compared to tests done[1]. By the way, I'll fix what is said in that article. BabyLuigiFire.png Ray Trace(T|C) 00:58, 13 December 2013 (EST)

Staff Ghosts

Since the pages of Mario Kart DS, Wii, 7 and 8 also have a table with Staff Ghost information for each course, I'd say we add one to this page, too. I found a list with the times and unlock times of each Staff Ghost, as well as a table showing the characters and karts for each course. Shall I make them into a table and at it to the article?
