#<s>{{User:Time Q/sig}}: The [[Mario Kart (series)#Retro Grand Prix|Retro Grand Prix section]] should be worded differently from the [[Mario Kart (series)#Nitro Grand Prix|Nitro Grand Prix section]], otherwise the article loses much of its fluency. There's some minor inaccuracies in the item descriptions - what I noticed was that Green Shells don't break apart in ''Super Mario Kart'' (unless they collide with a player or item) (I don't know about other games, so I didn't edit it myself). It should also be mentioned that in some games, drivers shrunk by a Thunderbolt can be run over (e.g. ''SMK''), while in some games (e.g. ''MKDS'') this is not possible. And finally, I think it wouldn't hurt to put in the [[Mario Kart (series)#Modes|Modes section]], which mode appeared in which game. Whether this is needed is debatable though, and I won't oppose just for this if the other problems are fixed. Otherwise, great article.</s>

Er... Wut's with that last trivia? Is there something obvious I'm missing? :/ Great article, BTW. {{User|InfectedShroom}}

:It's probably stupid, but I thought it was interesting that they were the only characters classified as the same weight in every game. {{User|Stooben Rooben}} 18:51, 1 June 2008 (EDT)

::Oh, I see what you meant. I thought it was saying that they were all middleweights. :P {{User:InfectedShroom/sig}}

:::Oh, I should probably reword it then. EDIT: Never mind; already done. :P {{User|Stooben Rooben}} 00:00, 3 June 2008 (EDT)
 
Sorry for opposing the article for such "minor" problems and hence delaying the time of it being featured, but seeing how often this article still gets edited, I don't think that's a problem. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 05:24, 5 June 2008 (EDT)
: Your problem with the green shell description appears to be fixed. --[[User:Pikax|Pikax]] 10:55, 14 June 2008 (EDT)
::The mistake is still there: In ''SMK'', they don't break apart, and they don't flip over either. Rather, they stay on the course indefinitely (well, until they hit a player or another item of course). Like I said above, I don't know how they behave in other games (IIRC, they show the same behavior in ''MKSC''). {{User:Time Q/sig}} 11:05, 14 June 2008 (EDT)
:::OK, ''now'' it's fixed. --[[User:Pikax|Pikax]] 13:13, 14 June 2008 (EDT)
::::I'm still not 100% satisfied with the Green Shell section, but I'll stop nitpicking. Thanks for your work. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 16:56, 14 June 2008 (EDT)
I don't think we need a section saying which buttons are used for the items, they are basically caused by different controllers of the systems, and not because of a different design of the Mario Kart games themselves. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 07:57, 18 June 2008 (EDT)
 
Hang on, it's past 16:56, 21 June 2008 and this article isn't featured! Why is that? --[[User:Pikax|Pikax]] 12:55, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
:Because I have a life, and nobody else seems to have noticed :P Seriously though, articles don't get featured automatically; a user has to do that manually. Thanks for noticing. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 14:48, 22 June 2008 (EDT)
