Here's another HUGE spoiler.

After you race really well, you'll unlock another cup, most likely a "special cup" which will contain a "rainbow road" track.

(I've never played MK:DD)

:rolleyes:

*Looks at avatar*
Stop stealing avatars from other people. Anyways, I think I'll go play my Advancegb. :p
And another spoiler: I heard there's a battle mode in the game. :burger:

It's the logo for the Upright Citizens Brigade... One of the best shows ever... I 'made' it myself by saving the picture off of ucbtheater.com and resizing it...

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Ok i have it. It's here. I'm eating dinner, and typing then I will play. Impressions coming very very soon............

PS my bro wanted to buy 2 extra controllers and 2 BBA (broad band adapters as BB kindly pointed out to me today) and start playing 8 player on 2 screens (split 4 ways). But they don't come till wednesday :(

but still, brb

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Wow.

So much fun. I've used many chars.

Spoilers beyond this point!!!!!




















I like the fact that each character has his/her own special item. Very fun. So far Bowsers and Baby Mario's rule. HAven't tried the others. Graphics are smooooooooooth and crisp.

Plenty of animations, funny sounds, classic MK gameplay but tweaked for gamecube, and I haven't even played multiplayer yet!!!

Great game, everything I expected and more! Bowser rules!!!!!!!

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Gamespot gave it a 7.9

I guess they are just as gay as IGN.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! BOYCOTT IGN AND GAMESPOT UNTIL THEY TELL US WHAT WE WANNA HEAR SO WE'LL STOP CRYING!!

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

What about Yoshi? What about Yoshi? :Poke: Sorry, he's just always been my fave MK character. So... what about yoshi? :Poke:

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Ha ha! Bowser was my favorite in the N64 version and bobcat proclaims that he's very good in the Gamecube version, excellent.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

you read the spoilers? :banghead:

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Very good GS review. They actually addressed their complaints, other than IGN, who just whined for the whole review.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

hey is toad there ?

he fudgin' ruled in mario kart 64

i hope hes there

and i hope that he wasnt replaced by that bastard

Koopa Troopa

(under breath) bastard....

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I see it like this...


Gamespot's reviews are consistantly lower than that of IGN. So, given that GS gave MKDD a 7.9, that really means that IGN's score is 8.1

Fran probably just couldn't get his tampon out that day or something.

But hey, both are allowed their opinion of a game, and I don't really care what they gave it. I'd have bought it and had just as much fun with the old style MK gameplay if IGN gave it a 5.



Who's warp piping this bitch?

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Yea...I really dont see IGN's score as that big a deal. If I remember correctly Mario Kart 64's reviews werent all that hot either...and the framerates were bad, graphics werent too hot, ect....but its still the best racer ive ever played. Plain and simple.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

No, I believe Toad got cut, sorry.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

More spoiers:-



















Gamemaster---> Bowsers special rules. Massive spiked shell. I never like the fast accelerating chars. THey are for the newbs. The real experts use the heavy chars for best speed overall and slow acceleration. And I've always used Bowser/DK.

Nemesis----> haven't used Yoshi yet. I'll let you know as I play more.


Dark Samuri-----> He was prolly the most popular char in N64 and SNES version (Toad) but so far no Toad :(


The best thing about this game is that you can mix and match. In the instruction booklet it explains how you can do this. For example you can have Bowser, and Yoshi in the DK kart. I don't know if this means you get different specials or not.

And finally for everyone just because other ppl review this game low, doesn't make them wrong. It's their opinion and if that's what they think , then that's what they think. I don't agree with the 7.9 review, but you have to understand that different people like different things, and they must have thought this game was above average, so just accept that.

I'm just puzzled as to why it was changed from a 9.5 to 7.9 by IGN?? I remember seeing 9.5 I'm sure. Did anyone else see this???

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

WHAT???
KOPPA TROPPA WAS THE BOMB in the snes days I'm glad he's back.

I have heard that Toad is in the game as an unlockable character. :D

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"

Toad Rules MK: DD!!!! :shake:

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I got this game today.PRetty cool

Haven't got to play it much due to the fact that I had class right after, then went to dinner.

Went throuigh the first three cups in 50cc.

Gonna move up to 100cc next, and then the world.

Co-op is cool. But a lot of communication needed.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Got it today.

Single player is not nearly as fun as the co-op grand prix. That's so much fun. And it's easier. So it's nice to have someone to play it with. I play it with my little brother, We are a super team.

Here's the stuff you can get









~~Spoilzorz~~~


It's mostly just extra Karts but you can get two extra battle levels. Luigi's Mansion and this crazy tilting one.

The secret characters are Toad, Toadette, Boo and Petey Pirhanna.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I will go and get the game tomorrow. I couldn't get it today because when I arrived at the store they hadn't opened the box and wouldn't be able to sell the game till 3:00pm. Well, I couldn't stay there for two hours 9my granfather was waiting for me) and there was no way they (my parents) would get me there again. I couldn't do anything but to leave it for tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll ahve much work to do and will only be able to play for a short period of time. Not only did they get it one day late but I have to wait another day. I really hate these last days of class, all the teachers give the most homeworks and stuff now. I'll check it out tomorrow and see which review was the one that the game fairly deserved.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I got the game yesterday (Tues). I got really friggin lucky that the EB had a few extra copies of the ones with the demo discs because I forgot to pre-order the game:p He called 2 people to make sure he could give me a copy with the demo disc since there was a couple extra's left.

So when I got it home, played the demo disc for about 15 minutes, then played MK for about a half hour, then had to go to bed since I work at 9:30pm so I have to be up at 7:30 to catch the damned bus. So from about 1pm-1:45pm or so I played it, then went to bed. 5 hours of sleep feels great

But MK is pretty fun so far. Can't wait to play it more:D (Along with Mario&Luigi Superstar Saga which is gonna kick ass since I liked Paper Mario and Mario RPG)

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Im debating whether to pick it up or not. What do you guys think, worth the buy?

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

50cc is easy, 100cc and 150cc can be difficult. Harder than previous MK games.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I just want to make sure everyone knows I still don't have the game.

I'd also like to make a correction to Dlyflon's post regarding secret characters. Dylflon stated one of the secret characters is Boo when it is actually King Boo.

Both King Boo's and Petey Piranha's special items are random, it could be any of the special items.

More to come soon.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

It really shines in co-op. And it's awesome that when you go head to head (two teams with two players) if one team comes in first you can still unlock items.

So far I've beaten all the 50cc, all the 100cc and the first two 150cc.

150cc is crazy hard. Good thing my brothers is good at throwing stuff.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Got the game yesterday, and for those who want more info on it here's what I have to say...

Single player still has the same 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc. There are 3 original cups with 4 levels each. There is also a secret cup that I have not unlocked yet. You can unlock that if you beat Star Cup on 100 cc. 1 player in my opinion isn't that great, but still alright...

Multiplayer is where this game gets fun. Battling and racing is awesome. Playing 2-4 players (especially 3 or 4 players) is very fun. You'll see you and your friends screaming over a race or a battle. It's fun. There are 3 battle modes. One is the oldschool baloon battle, there is a Shine Stealer battle where you have to get the star and run (it's basically like a game of tag), and lastly there is a bomb battle. The bomb battle is a match where you can only use bombs and attack eachother. You'll see it when you play it.

You can either play multiplayer races together or against eachother. When you play together, one person gets on the back seat and attacks people with his punches and items the driver gets while driving. While driving together, you can switch who drives and who atatcks by pressing Z. (for 2 players, both players have to press Z to switch).

The other multiplayer race is just like the other Mario kart games. You race against everyone in Grand Prix.

Now for the items... Items are really cool. Each character has their own special. For example, Bowser has a big Koopa shell he throws and attacks a whole area. Mario has red fire balls, DK has extra bannana power, and etc... Most of the items are the same, but there are a few different.

So that's about it.

And in my opinion, the bonus disk isn't really that good, but I have yet to try out Sonic Heroes.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

The first level on the Sonic Heroes demo is damn fun. Almost the whole time its fast paced which is what a Sonic game is supposed to be. But the second level on the demo is kind of meh.

But yeah, I agree that the demo disk isn't as great as it was hyped to be (ie: Pre-Order MK and get this great demo disk!). *gasp* Jon has said something bad about Nintendo/Nintendo game:wtf: But I played the all the demo's and most are good.

But MK: DD is pretty good. I haven't had the chance to play Multi yet since I don't have enough friends over yet who can play the game with me.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

MK: DD is a great game. I have gotten to play it with some buddies of mine at school. Playing wht four different carts is great, but playing 2 on 2 is better. It gets you so pumped up.

The absolute best thing, however, was having the game on a LAN with 2 other machines. We played a full Grand Prix with 12 people, 2 on each cart, for a total of 6 carts. It was so much fun and completely insane. Let me just say that if you haven't played a LAN game, you are missing out on TONS of fun. Hundred times better than normal multiplayer. The fights for 1st place were so intense, my blood was boiling. My partner was really good, so we did really well.

BTW, Rainbow Road is a lot better in this one than in the 64 version. It's much more difficult.

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Hm.... After reading those last posts, I really feel like buying it again. :rolleyes:
I've never really liked Mario Kart THAT much... never played the N64 version although I loved the SNES one.
Oh well, I HAVE TO buy it in order to get the Zelda Disc. :p

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Just got the special cup so fun!

Bowser still ownz. Mario and Luigi are quite good 2

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Man, this game friggin' owns. I think Baby Mario and baby yoshi are best team. Yoshi and Birdo come along with Toad and ... errr.... her... are head to head in second place. Well, anybody knows which non-official-team characters make good teams anyways? I still haven't been able to make a really good team, just average ones. =\

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

I bought it today. I like Baby Bowser!

Re: "I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"
 

Man. I am so excited about this game.

But because of lack of funds, I think I might have to wait till Christmas to get it. :distress:

That sucks.
