12 racers again?
Do you think they will do the 12-player thing again or revert back to just 8? User:DK Fan


 * Nobody knows, we don't have enough info yet, so don't speculate about that by now...


 * I think since that only a maximum of two characters have been seen in one screenshot, it may be possible to choose the amount of characters to verse, a bit like in the Super Smash Bros. games.

Maybe they will revert it back to 8 since its back on a handheld. -Rosalina1234


 * The two racing is probably just VS mode. They'll have more racers on the track at a time. The question is, who?

Any Facts?
Do any of you have any facts about mk3ds? -Rosalina 1234
 * A few, but this isn't the correct place to talk about it. You can talk on the forums or visit me at my talk page.

Strictly speaking Bowser's Luma, this might belong on this page because the facts could go on the page. And to answer your question, Rosalina 1234, everything we currently know about MK3DS is(hopefully) already on the page.--=D Smileymiley5001 =D 13:38, 8 March 2011 (EST)

Confirmed Characters
User:FireFlower- Check out my user page everyone.
 * Again, no. First of all, don't merge this with "Any Facts?". Secondly, this is advertising for your own userpage. Third, this is not related to the improvement of our coverage. Please don't do this again. 16:42, 2 January 2011 (EST)

Hey I am only sharing my opinion- User:FireFlower

In the new vid, you can see Grand Goombas. Were should we put this?--Holyromanemperortatan 21:17, 10 January 2011 (EST)


 * You cannot add videos to the regular pages. However, you can still put the screenshot of the video on the Mario Kart 3DS page if you want. Just put the video in your userpage.


 * I know embed vids cannot go on articles. I was tlking about the info.--Holyromanemperortatan 17:08, 7 February 2011 (EST)

Dixie Kong?
Who got the idea of Dixie Kong in Mario Kart 3DS?


 * I just removed it because of the template. If anybody has some actual sources that say that Dixie Kong will be in this game, feel free to readd it to the article. 17:41, 18 February 2011 (EST)

Grand Goomba
Yeah, I found Grand Goombas in a trailer, here's a picture. (See: here) The trailer can also be found here.

Names
Do we officially know the names of the tracks? --YoshiGo99 18:32, 23 February 2011 (EST)
 * No. 18:38, 23 February 2011 (EST)

Apparently the title right now for this game is Mario Kart 3D, I found it here, on the Nintendo 3DS website!

Peach appearing?
On this page here, it says Peach will be returning. You think that is true? DK Fan

It doesn't mean that. The writer is explaining the Mario Kart series in general and counting Mario Luigi and Peach as example of the drivers in the games.

Oops, cause I just added her, I'll undo that. User:DK Fan

Wuhu Island
After playing Wii Sports Resort so many times, I have a pretty good idea what the track layout in Mario Kart 3DS might be. Plus, Wuhu Island's shape is based off Isle Delfino, so do you think I can create an article for Wuhu Island?


 * Hmmmmmm....maybe we should wait until the game comes out until we make a page for Wuhu Island.It does sound like a good idea though.--=D Smileymiley5001 =D 14:34, 10 March 2011 (EST)

I suppose we can just wait until June for E3.

I contacted Nintendo and...
I contacted Nintendo about Mario Kart for the 3DS and Nintendo of America, Barbara Soules said this.

Hi,

Thanks for contacting us about Mario Kart for the Nintendo 3DS. At this time the only information we have released about games that will be available for the Nintendo 3DS is on our Nintendo 3DS-dedicated website (http://www.nintendo.com/3ds).

However, if the game is being published by one of our licensee partners, you may find information about it at the publisher’s website. If you happen to know who the publisher is, go to the following web address and click on the company name to get contact information:

http://www.nintendo.com/corp/licensees_third.jsp

I’m confident that more specific details about this game will eventually be made available. In the meantime, please continue to check our website regularly. Thank you for your patience.

Sincerely,

Barbara Soules Nintendo of America Inc.

Mario Kart 3DS: official name?
I went to GameStop to pick up my Nintendo 3DS. The guy at the counter gave me a piece of paper with pictures of games they were allowing preorder for. One of the pictures was this game, and, written in creative font over the picture, said "Mario Kart 3DS". Is this official enough to move the article? A Link to the Present 16:47, 7 April 2011 (EDT)
 * I'm not sure, but it's all we've got to go by. We probably won't know if the name is official (or if there is another name) until E3.

Possible American Release Date
When I was at GameStop the day before the 3DS was released, I saw a list of upcoming games for each system. Under the DS category, it said "Mario Kart 3DS [...] 8/2/2011" (August 2, 2011). Same for Paper Mario 3DS...I'm not sure if the date are official, though. 15:09, 9 April 2011 (EDT)
 * I'm not sure about the exact date or Paper Mario, but when I went (as expressed in above), they said that Paper Mario is not available for preorder yet, and that Mario Kart was available at an unknown time in August. A Link to the Present 15:11, 9 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Sorry, but sellers such as GameStop and Best Buy have often unreliable information regarding release dates. Wait until Nintendo officially announces it rather than rely on the stockers.
 * I agree. I just checked IGN, and they don't have one, since they don't announce it until Nintendo does. 15:17, 9 April 2011 (EDT)
 * Besides, we should use logic. We still have virtually no information on this game, so it is logical that a release date won't be announced yet.
 * That, too.
 * ...um...ok. 20:33, 9 April 2011 (EDT)
