Portlett Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 i always thought that cranky kong could be the donkey kong in the original Donkey Kong arcade song because at the start of DKC you see him at the top of the red scaffolding....?
Nintendohnut Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 i always thought that cranky kong could be the donkey kong in the original Donkey Kong arcade song because at the start of DKC you see him at the top of the red scaffolding....? Oh yeah he is...And DK Jr saved him...so that makes DK Jr Cranky's son... but Rare say that this is the DK we know today, as in DK Jr grown up, and yet in DKC the text said Cranky was the current Donkey Kong's Grandfather...which makes DK of today DK Jr's son....... Which would be reeeeeally weird to have DK as older than his own father. But like Cube said - what does it matter? Who knows? And who, when we get right down to it, cares? Apparently me, a little too much.
dwarf Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 What guys do you usually use? I think its important to have good acceleration if you are good at the game seeing as you're on the end of a lot of item lobbage. I used Bowser quite a lot on DS however. DD I always use the Boo Pipes, not being a biased Boo fan but it was arguably the best kart. Mario is usually a good choice. No prizes for guessing who I'll be driving. What is the confirmed list so far? We should make a poll. Can you do it in this thread?
Nintendohnut Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Toad and Toadette every time on DD. With the nippy little blue kart. It was easily the best, fast and good acceleration, and sure it can be bumped but if you're good enough your don't let that happen. (Also: you could make that thread, couldn't you?)

(Also: you could make that thread, couldn't you?) probably isnt worth it unless people want it.
ReZourceman Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah the Toads on DD easily the best. No question.
Nintendohnut Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah the Toads on DD easily the best. No question. Double Golden mushroom? Sounds good to me! (I admit that sometimes I used the toad/baby mario combo, purely for the chain chomp)
darksnowman Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 On DD it was Diddy Kong + someone else small like Baby Mario, maybe. I wasn't overly fussed though, I mixed it up depending on my mood. On the Wii I'm looking forward to trying out Dixie Kong, oh yeah.
dwarf Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 On DD I was bowser and DK a lot of the time. Seeing as you are largely in front you can make the people behind get some horrendous times with good placement. Rely on stars and boosts if you are doing poor. You only get Toad/Toadette items when you're 4th or further back dont you?
darksnowman Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 On DD I was bowser and DK a lot of the time. How come you use them big ones if you said a few posts up that good acceleration is important?
Portlett Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 on super mario kart i used koopa mostly, mk64 I used tended to use toad, yoshi or dk, super circuit I cant really remember, DD I used toads and DS Yoshi most of the time.
dwarf Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Boo Pipes has mint acceleration, and it can be used by larger characters. Text Chat it is. http://n-europe.com/news.php?nid=11560
Fandango Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Really looking forward to seeing how this game does in reviews, it won't influence my decision as I'll probably buy it anyway but I just want to see how the bikes are and everything. MK: DD did get a lot of criticism, but I still loved it and the only thing I didn't enjoy about the game was just how slow it was! Damn, make this game a good deal faster then DD and I''d be ecstatic!
Jamba Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Not too fussed about this. I'd rather play MK:DS.

You only get Toad/Toadette items when you're 4th or further back dont you? You can get them in first relatively often. One of the only items you regularly get in the top few positions. Obviously you get them loads in the last 4 but they're actually surprisingly regular in the top few. Which is why Toad is awesome.
dazzybee Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 This game is blatantly going to be incredible and also a prime contender for the new pay and play scheme - new tracks everyone I also think the game will updatable for voice chat when the inevitably release it at the end of the year!! I'm looking more forward to this game than anything
Kurtle Squad Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 On DD it was Diddy Kong + someone else small like Baby Mario, maybe. I wasn't overly fussed though, I mixed it up depending on my mood. Diddy was a must. I usually used him and a Koopa.
dwarf Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Nah Mega Shell and big banana lol is the way to go. I'll have to try the toad/ette combo.
tomma1000 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 wonderin if when u go online with a friend are u actually part of a team? or just racin for each other kind of thing?
Goron_3 Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 In DD I used Boo in the Boo Pipes. In MK64 I used Yoshi. In Super Circuit I used Bowser! In MKDS i used bowser in the standard yoshi. In this? Meh, who cares? It looks awful. They should drop MK and focus on F-Zero.
mcj metroid Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Yeah the Toads on DD easily the best. No question. er yes question parakoopa and diidy kong para(the red one) had the triple red shell........ and when you are ahead you plant these gigantic bananas..think..its a winning formula. In DD I used Boo in the Boo Pipes.In MK64 I used Yoshi. In Super Circuit I used Bowser! In MKDS i used bowser in the standard yoshi. In this? Meh, who cares? It looks awful. They should drop MK and focus on F-Zero. f-zero gx> every mario kart game in existence that being said This WILL be a brilliant game..This has everything going for it but i fear with scores reviewers are going to rip the shit out of the stupid wheel.
Maiky-NiSuTe Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Mario Kart Wheel Is Quite Possibly "Absolute Crap" did you guys see this? http://kotaku.com/361484/mario-kart-wheel-is-quite-possibly-absolute-crap
