Talk:Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

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. -- 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. 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.

look the screenshots of Yoshi Circuit 's article.

Its right before you get to the flowers.

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

That would make sense... InfectedShroom.

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

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 (&Xi;) 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. 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.

I dont see why not. -Rosalina1234

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. By the way, I'll fix what is said in that article. 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 add it to the article?

European (PAL) Max Speed Stats
A few years ago with the italian version of MKDD I measured the maximum speed pertaining to each tier both in plains (e.g. Baby Park) and downhill (almost every track that is not perfectly a plain, including Luigi Circuit) and I remember I found these values:

Can someone confirm this data? I'm not sure especially about tier 6 and 8. Also, keep in mind that these values are obtained without mushroom nor Mini-Turbo, this is probably why they are much lower than the ones in the actual table.
