More content, such as hands-on video, showcasing three courses and gameplay and the Wii U Developer Direct, which revealed Miiverse, replays and another new course is available on the Mario Kart Wii forums. Webkinz Mania (talk) 16:56, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

Mario Kart TV Reference?

In this photo I've posted above, if you look under the 5th colored flag from the left under the Mario Kart sign, it looks like there is a television truck that says Mario Kart on the side, and if you watch the trailer, and pause at the right moment, you can see it clearly. So, I think Nintendo is referencing their new feature inside the game quietly? What about you? Oh and sorry for the super-large photo, but you have to have it big to notice the truck anyway! Also I'm not talking about television referencing, I'm talking about the Miiverse feature called Mario Kart TV. --BlueYoshi211 21:49, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

2 laps?

I watched some GameExplain videos and in both of the 2 demo tracks they played the 2 courses had 2 laps, and they weren't long like Wario Coliseum. Is 2 laps a standard feature or is it just because of the demo? Yoshi876 (talk)

I'm pretty sure it is because of the demo, since the Mario Kart 7 demo also had two laps instead of the usual three. --- ThePremiumYoshi 17:10, 11 June 2013 (EDT)
Just noting, but it has 3 courses, but Andre has only uploaded videos of two of them at this moment. --BlueYoshi211 21:38, 11 June 2013 (EDT)

All of these are...

All of the photos that follow are all from Mario Circuit, that means the 8-shaped track is it, and if you may've noticed the track with Peach's Castle is the same as the 8-shaped track. Photos are as follows: (--BlueYoshi211 22:00, 11 June 2013 (EDT))

Does this count?

Sorry to set of bob-omb (he, humorous word play) but the anti-gravity racing thing was done years ago in Crash Nitro kart, much to disappoint that this game offers nothing really new, but being a pain aside would this count as trivia? - Cubeguy2ver.pngCubeguy(talk)

It's a new gimmick for the Mario Kart series, at least.

Yes but is it able to go in trivia? - Cubeguy2ver.pngCubeguy(talk)
Its not Mario Related. --BlueYoshi211 13:52, 12 June 2013 (EDT)

Suits of Armor

With the suits of armour on th e haunted house level, the ones with the giant hammers that try to crush passing racers, would they be counted as non-playable? - Cubeguy2ver.pngCubeguy(talk)

That or make a new section for obstacles. Yoshi876 (talk)
