Talk:Mario Kart (series)

Merging
I think we should merge all the Mario Circuits, Donut Plains, etc, especially in SMK, into one article, and describe each course in one. That way, we have about five to six longer articles than possibly twenty stubs. Old courses in MKDS will not be included, and battle courses will appear at the land but not specified by game in the template. Wayoshi 19:04, 1 August 2006 (EDT)

Make it so. H K

Courses
Though the LM rooms are still ongoing, Mario Kart (esp DS) is the next big project I've been thinking about. We need articles for each course in the series, as there are near 100. A template and/or category (Racing Courses) would be required. I myself copied the stastics for each of the 36 karts in MKDS and will be adding those now in a table. Anyone who's played any one of the MK games is invited to create an article for a racing course w/:


 * Game(s) it's in
 * Description
 * Layout
 * Shortcut(s)

Do you ever stop? H K
 * Lol, I don't, notice how I hatched this idea while playing it while I was gone. :) Wayoshi 16:59, 31 July 2006 (EDT)
 * Oh yes, this includes Battle Courses! For those, no shortcuts, but sometimes there's little things you can do to give yourself the upper hand (ie Block Fort, MK64 version, you can pop a balloon by landing on top of an opponent)

I hatched my toad template idea while asleep. No kidding, it came to me in dream. H K

Changing the name?
Is the "(series)" part of the title really necessary? No game is actually entitled Mario Kart, so I see no reason for it having to be there. Dodo

Mario Kart 64 doesn't have heavy themes from Super Mario 64
Except the castle of course, which other MK (And many Mario games perhaps) games after possessed (Peach Circuit - GBA, Mario Circuit GCN, Peach Garden DS) ... heck it would probably appear in the Wii version as well.
 * And what are you trying to say related to this article? I see, you're right. - 09:13, 11 September 2007 (EDT)

Non-Mario
Since when are all the not Mario character confirmed not to appear in MKWii?

Arcade GP?
Why make the arcade gp part of the series? I mean, nintendo didn't even make it, Namco did, and there are non-mario charators in it, plus it doesn't follow tradition in courses, cups, or items, so they should just put them in another articall, called 'Mario Kart Arcade GP Series' Yoshi fire

Places!?
What the? Is the Mario Kart series considered a place? By I mean a place to drive your karts and such? Comments are welcome here. It feels like the places list is imcomplete unless an answer is told...
 * A game series is not a place where one can be, I mean, it's something abstract. So I'd say the Places category is wrong here. 06:40, 4 January 2008 (EST)
