Questions on Items, Tracks and Cups

Does anyone know how many and what cups will be in the game? I know that the Mushroom, Flower Star, and Special Cups will return but not how many tracks make up a cup. I am almost certain there will be a Bowser's Castle and a Rainbow Road included. I also heard a rumor that they are going to include the Double Dash Mario Circuit and that several new items will be introduced. 68.76.218.190 19:47, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed Items

Banana, Green Shell, Red Shell, Mushroom, Star, Thunderbolt, Spiny Shell Wxy 19:46, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unconfirmed Items

Blooper, Bob-omb, Triple Mushrooms, Boo, Fake Item Box, Bullet/Banzai Bill, Feather?, Fireballs? Morpher? (Mystery Item), Monty Mole???!!! (This was very confusing to hear about), Golden Mushroom

Please respond if you learn of anymore about these items, the tracks, and the cups. Wxy 19:44, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mushrooms, Bob-ombs, Boos and Fake boxes are likely to return, and the feather (see Super Mario Kart) and fireballs (Mario Kart Double Dash) could be returning, but the fireballs may be "fire flower" instead. But, we could always wait and see... --Pezzar 23:27, 8 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why does this matter? The article should not be used as a game guide, though new items should be notable. FMF 13:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Confirmed characters/tracks/stuff

It's a bit too early for this, don't you think? I will take those sections out and leave the gameplay and online sections. If you disagree, post in here. Willy105 20:38, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think a characters section is necessary, but maybe not tracks... Of course, gameplay and online sections must stay. Miles Blues 22:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
by the way, it claims there were only four characters shown; Mario, Peach, Wario and Waluigi, but did people not see the huge picture of DK as well as in game footage of Baby Mario and Toad? 75.153.231.20 22:37, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
But the "huge picture" of Donkey Kong was actually just concept art for Mario Kart DS: http://mario-kart.net/mkds/images/101605/dk2.jpg Exactly like the other four pictures of Peach, Luigi and Mario: http://mario-kart.net/mkds/pictures.html 82.119.161.47 10:02, 13 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I added to that to the main article of Mario Kart characters. Willy105 22:40, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In this game's article, I spied a certain line - "There is no confirmation that this is permanent; however, Fils-Aime did mention that more racers would be able to compete this time." When he said that 'More racers than ever will be able to compete', he was more than likely speaking of the online features that the game will have - the timing of the comment backs that, as he's speaking about the online capabilities when that comment was brought up - and that more people will be able to play against each other because of online.
You do have a very good point, he did say that. But just to be sure, we can put that there but not as concrete. We will only say it is concrete until a press release or a hands-on preview. Willy105 11:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of confirmed characters

Do not, I repeat DO NOT put a list of characters that are confirmed to be in the game. There is already a page for that. All that must go in the "Characters" section is information about vehicles and custimization. Nothing else. Willy105 01:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Where's the page? →Pezzar 04:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Release Date?

http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=T000701

The above link says that this game releases on January 1, 2008. Can this be a source for release date? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.244.234.39 (talk) 00:07:28, August 19, 2007 (UTC)

I would strongly suggest against using that date. It sould like it is clearly a placeholder. --67.71.79.22 22:18, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
They typically use that as a placeholder for Q1 2008 titles. Misleading, but it is usually what they do. --Nerdzrool 11:28, 21 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Quarter release dates are nothing but speculations at this point in time. If someone has let's say Nintendo of Europe's press releases, please by all means edit the information with. Thanks. --MrBubbles 16:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Release date is: January 25th 2008.75.67.128.65 13:19, 8 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So, I checked the source on the release date and it only mentions "Early 2008," not "Spring." I'm going to change the release date back to Q1 08 for NA unless we get a reputable source saying otherwise. I know people are citing Smash's delay as a cause for Mario Kart to get delayed, too (to prevent competition or something) but that's just speculation at this point.-llamapalooza87 17:23, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any talk about the new 16 player stuff, as well as anything from Nintendo UK is speculation

http://computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=171506

“The details printed in Official Nintendo Magazine 21 regarding Mario Kart Wii were healthy speculation on our part and are in no way an official announcement from Nintendo. We are sorry if we have mislead anyone. We do not set out to mislead our readers. ONM apologises profusely for any misunderstandings that this has caused.” - ONM (original story here) --MrBubbles 11:52, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question re: Two wheeled vehicles

"The game will also be the second Mario Kart game to feature two-wheeled vehicles, the first being Mario Kart DS."

Eh? What vehicles in MKDS have two wheels? Doctorbob 19:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There are no motorcycles in MKDS take that off.--FrosticeBlade 02:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it was waliugi's chopper but it had 3-wheels
