Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 is the recently released sequel to Mario Kart Arcade GP. It is the second game in the Arcade series. The game seemingly has custom karts for characters, similar to Mario Kart: Double Dash!! and Mario Kart DS. Also what seem to be several new items have been revealed. The game is the presuccessor to Mario Kart Wii and succsessor to Mario Kart DS.

How To Play

To play the game, the player has to insert a certain amount of money or tokens into the game. First, the player can adjust their seat within the time limit by moving a lever near their feet and sliding to any position on the arcade machine. After that happens, the player can choose a character to play with. Then the player has to take a picture of him or her within the time limit, if the player didn’t take the picture; a countdown starts to force the player to take it. Then the racing starts as the player has to be in 1st place. If the player gets a lower place, the player has to do it again to unlock the course by giving the game certain money or some tokens. If the player got 1st place, the player will move on if the player pays the game another token or dollar(s).


Modes

Grand Prix

In Grand Prix, you have to complete the cups in each class. The classes are 50cc, 100cc and 150cc, with 50cc being the slowest and 150cc being the fastest. There are four rounds in each cup in this order: Track A, Track B, Track A, Track B. Once you have completed each round, there is a challange, simmilar to Mission Mode on Mario Kart DS.

Time Trial

In Time Trial mode, you can try to get the fastest time on any track. Rainbow Coaster and Rainbow Downhill can be raced on regardless of the player's GP Progress.

  • Note: Time trial is not avaliable on all machines.

VS

After inserting coins, the machine starts a search for VS races. It is similar to Bark Mode on Nintendogs. If found, the player selects the track and speed. The players play against each other and for computers.
