On the 17th of this November, the highly anticipated
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! will be coming out for the GameCube.
I can tell you're excited, because you loved the old instant classic
Mario Kart 64. Well the big change-up this time around is that each kart has two racers, who at any time may switch position. What position? Why, the driver at the front, and the weapon thrower at the back, of course. The fun part of this is that if you so desire you can play with another person and each take on the separate duties.
Here are the quoted features:
-Place first in racing circuits to open up progressively more difficult circuits.
-Link the game with seven other players using a broadband adapter and race each other side-by-side using multiple game systems and multiple televisions!
-Compete against your friends in Grand Prix, Versus or Battle modes. If you choose, two players can work together to control the same kart! There are also eight special items that can only be used by specific characters.
-Look for shortcuts and head for the finish line on amazing tracks set in fantastic Mushroom Kingdom locations.
Included drivers (there may be more hidden ones, I don't know) are: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Yoshi, Birdo, Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Koopa, Paratroopa, Wario and Waluigi.
