  1. I have to say that the airport looked lame, until it unfolded in the video. This game looks AWESOME! Some games never lose their fun factor. mario Kart is one.

    1. That doesn’t really have to do with anything. I mean, Bowser’s castle isn’t bowser’s if It doesnt have a bowser head, but Coconut Mall had a delfino on it so…

  2. While this trailer was good I find it really bad how they did not show any of the Karts driving upside down and doing 360 loops that was supposed to be Mario Kart 8’s killer features!!
    The fact that they did not show the Karts driving upside down and doing 360 loops makes me believe that they have ditched this feature all together which if true will totally ruin the game!!

    1. zorbo, it looked like any scene where the tires rotated to become flat and start glowing blue were scenes where they were upside down. The camera just followed them normally so it was hard to tell. (Sorry for double post)

    2. They didn’t ditch the feature… you can see characters riding on walls and upside down in the trailer when the wheels turn sideways and act as hovercrafts.

    3. The thing is, The camera doesn’t show them upside down or anything for the most part. I think they should do this. In online single player multiplayer, Let the Player use the gamepad to play and the TV screen shows if they are upside down or on the wall, It would look cooler to others watching.

  4. I’m kinda disappointed too ! Every MK is supposed to have a killer innovation like motorbikes, flying ability, double dash’s double caracters. How come this trailer doesn’t show any breaking new ability ? I’m concerned… This just looks like a compilation of all previous MKs

    1. When do you ever learn? Didn’t the first trailer of Mario 3D world impressive? They didn’t start showing impressive trailers until the game was right around the corner.

    2. Yeah , cause the anti-gravity feature was present in all the games , right? Reality is that both smash bros and this , look really good

  5. The baby characters never made any sense to me. Like, how could they all exist in the same world as their adult versions? Another thing that never made sense was, in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, Yoshi knew Mario as a baby. Yet, in the first Super Mario World, Yoshi and Mario just met for the first time. Everything in the Nintendo universe is SO confusing.

      1. You do realize there is more than one Mario, like in how Cranky Kong is supposed to be the old Donkey Kong. There could be many generations like in the Zelda series
