Whats with the vandalism?
I just fixed changing all the "Sonic's" back to "mario's". Whats with this?
- You can revert all changes by going to history and editing the correct version of the page. That way it's not a big deal to delete vandalism.--Zxcvbnm 00:21, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
Obsolete screenshots
The screenshots arrayed at the bottom of the article are from an early version of the game. Most notably, the character models are less detailed, and Cheep Cheep Beach has grass that is not present in the final version. Some of these differences can still be found in the Mario Kart DS Demo Version at DS kiosks in retail stores. --Poiuyt Man talk 07:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
Time trials
I think this information should not be in the wikipedia article, isntead, i think it should be featured in the wikibooks instead. --Darkain Dragoon 09:38, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

- It might just be me, but I think it's too short for a full wikibooks entry. Unless somebody altered the segment on time attacking. I could see this being posted on wikibooks if the staff ghosts times were recorded, but otherwhise I think it should stand. -- • An_User • 12:16, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Racers and Karts
Item stat
From what I've seen in my own racing, how long a kart remains affected after getting hit by a Lightning Bolt does not seem to vary by the kart's own Item stat, but more on its position within the race (as described in the 'Items' section of the article). It could vary by the attacker's Item stat though... (this may need verification). Stratadrake 05:58, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
Shy Guy
I've heard some people say that they've hacked the game and made Shy Guy a playable character. I was told that his weight stat is the same as Yoshi's, but could somebody with a flash cart and passme check? -- • An_User • 12:16, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- Far as I know Shy Guy is only available during download play.--Acebrock 18:07, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
Trivia
Do we actually have any valid information that the Rainbow Road from this game is the beta from Mario Kart 64? I've heard the rumor too, but unless a source from Nintendo is cited, I think it should be removed. The same goes for the intended launch title release. It's all well and good to speculate, but you can't post things you don't know as facts. Also, should we trim it even further by removing the tidbits about unlockables and King Boo? At the very least, it deserves some reformatting (it seems to "break" from the article's writing style) -- • An_User • 12:16, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Move to Wikibooks
This is a very good article but I feel as if a lot of it would be better at Wikibooks. I started to move some stuff over but I didn't delete anything here. Gerard Foley 14:34, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Kart page merge
Please merge karts like B Dasher into this page please. Thanks.Voice of AllT|@|ESP 06:10, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Quick Question
Just curious: why does the information regarding the race start boost (accelerating just as the 2 fades) get removed? Is it because it is a cheat/hint rather than valuable information? --Teabagged 04:39, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Online Scoring
I see someone took out the part about losses being subtracted from a player's record, it doesn't happen. But are these worth mentioning?
- A player can disconnect before the first race (i.e. during the kart- or track- selection screen) without taking a losses penalty.[1]
- If the fourth race of a multiplayer set cannot be completed because all other players have disconnected, the remaining player does not receive any wins (though the others still receive losses for disconnecting).[2]
...Also, there are rumors[3] floating around on Nintendo's forums of a glitch that allows losses to be subtracted from a player's record under certain conditions. Stratadrake 04:39, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
