Mario Kart Wii

i remember having bananna peels ready behind my kart many times.

Dragging banana peels behind your kart in Super Mario Kart? Nope. I'm sorry, Dyne. That never happened.
Dragging items started in Mario Kart 64 and was also in Mario Kart Super Circuit and Mario Kart DS, but both Super Mario Kart and Double Dash would only let you drop an item behind you or throw it ahead.

It's true, no dragging items in SNES version. But Mario Kart DS was a terrible game, so I don't see why people want this one to be like that.

I admit that 64 was technically a busted mess, but I still remember having a blast with it, even when playing it in the dorms a few years ago. SNES version was far superior. I never had the same amount of fun with the DS version.

Did they release two versions of the Super Nintendo game? I remember dragging items and powerslide boosting distinctly.

Your memory is an idiot.

LOL, a trusted source right here.

We had 6 people playing the HELL out of the DS game at lunch just now. We all had a terrible time.


There were five "OK THIS IS THE LAST RACE" races.

yeah i for sure did a zig zag powerslide type of move in that game. while it wasn't an offical boot it did actually give you an advantage.

also this: (from gamefaqs)

ADVANCED CORNERING This is the second way to tackle a corner, I
always use this way when I am using someone like
Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, Donkey Knog JR or just about
anyone else apart from Toad and Koopa. What you
can do is hop into a skid. To hop, press L or R on
the top of the control, and then move the
directional button the way of the corner. This can
be very effective.

You people have terrible memories.

SNES Mario Kart had no powersliding and no item dragging. Some of the characters could manipulate the hop to create a kind of "faux powerslide," but that's about it.

The only bad thing I have to say about the DS Mario Kart is that half the tracks weren't playable online. Everything else about it trounces the previous entries in the series.

DS Mario Kart is very great if everyone has a copy of the game for local matches. Being stuck in Simple/Demo mode isn't horrible, but it could be better.
