Mario Kart Wii info

[Master X]

In addition to appearances from drivers like Mario, Wario, Luigi, Waluigi, Bowser, Peach, and Donkey Kong, the mag confirms that Boo and Baby Peach will also have driving duties. Not surprising, as we'd seen the former in at least one trailer, with the latter only making sense, given that Baby Mario and Baby Luigi will also star.

The mag, by way of GoNintendo, also mentions that at least 32 tracks are planned and that the dreaded "snaking" method of boosting will be included

Details:

-Sliding and snaking confirmed
-Baby Peach, Boo to be drivers
-online battle mode
-16 new + 16 old courses
-different vehicles for every driver
-controls can be compared to Excite Truck

No toad???? He was my dude.. haha

[project-blu]

dude, snaking?!?!?! that just means i won't play this one online, it takes the fun out of the race, when you're facing 2 guys who are 294-5, and will drop out the second they won't win using a disconnect that won't cost them a loss. weak. seriously.

Toad is my guy too. Me and some friends have loved the game since the original. One friend got pissed though with 64 since they dropped Koopa and that was his guy. He had his own island though.

If they include classic control support...I might pick this up.
