Sonic in Mario Kart!
 
As reported by PlanetGamecube...

if you dont want to click the link, here is the important stuff...

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in what might be an attempt to apologize, he drops the most amazing name in conjuntion with Mario Kart. In his own words ...

"The situation is that we are having a series of meetings about Mario Kart for GameCube and we have come to the point where we will be making some drastic changes to the last games. Sonic the Hedgehog might be one of the drivers!"

BigJustinW 02-23-2002 12:13 PM

I think Sega should make thier own kart racing game, because the SA2 dreamcast one played very good...

If Crash Team Racing can beat out Mario Kart, I'm sure Sonic Team Racing can beat it too!!!

Plus I hate EVEYTHING about Mario Kart

Within two months of the launch we expect to shift 1,000,000 units of GameCube hardware across Europe. I think that we are better prepared for the launch of the next console into this market and will have prepared 20 titles for day one for Europe."

While offering reasoning for the delay, Miyamoto reveals something special.

"The situation is that we are having a series of meetings about Mario Kart for GameCube and we have come to the point where we will be making some drastic changes to the last games. Sonic the Hedgehog might be one of the drivers!"

We'll have to wait and see what comes of this.

That makes no sense. Mario Kart just has characters associated with Mario. It's not like the SSB Melee gang is racing in there too. More practical to have Sonic in one of the SSB games...

azazela31 02-23-2002 01:09 PM

I want Shadow too!! Damn he's ROCKs!!

EDIT: But I don't believe it... remeber the rumours that Sonic would make it to SSBM. Actually if Sonic was in SSBM I would buy 100%, I would kick Mario's little fat ass so many times!!

If he is in it, he shouldn't be the fastest. Just because he can run fast does not mean he has a fast go-kart.


But I don't he will be in it. It wouldn't make sense.

GameMaster 02-23-2002 03:45 PM

A small, yellow, electric mouse will also race?. Oops, I think I've said too much.

gekko 02-23-2002 04:11 PM

I wouldn't mind. Sonic Drift 3 would be nice, but Mario Kart is a great game by itself, adding Sega characters would only make it better.

Revival 02-23-2002 04:12 PM

Yeah, I agree with gekko.. it's not going to do any damage.. only make it better.

azazela31 02-23-2002 04:15 PM

I wish SSBM had Sonic and Shadow!! That would rock... that would make me buy the game.

Drunk Hobbit 02-23-2002 04:16 PM

Yes, add the yellow rat basterd.

What's preventing you from buying the game now?

Tails and Knuckles. Shadow is so new to the Sonic series I feel he just wait in the very back of the line. Dr Robotnik, hmmm, wouldn't that be interesting...

Well, this is a quote from Miyamoto, so I think there might be some truth to it, not just another fake story.

GameMaster 02-24-2002 03:02 AM

Someone even had the nerve to come up with a lame @$$ "screenshot" which looked totally fake for SSBM. :rolleyes:

Oh, heh.. I'm not a real big fan on them either, that's why I haven't bought it yet.

GameMaster 02-24-2002 01:30 PM

I wonder if anyone from the original cast isn't going to be in this one...

BreakABone 02-24-2002 01:39 PM

Um I'm just curious.. who says it has to be a Mario Kart game.. I mean everyone might recognize it as that now.. but what happened if this big change is to make a Nintendo mascot racer similar to SSBM?

Ric 02-24-2002 01:48 PM

Sorry I am going to have to defend one of my favourite games here, Mario Kart is one hellava great game, CTR is a complete piss take out of it not to mention the fact that, its crap.

Now as has been mentioned, I remember Sonic was ment to be in SSBM, so uuh... I dont believe this claim one bit until it comes from the hoarses mouth so to speak. I do wish people wouldnt post rubbish on the internet, it vexes me, stupid PGC.

I totally agree.

But the article says Shiggy said it!! But I hardly believe it...

It came from Shiggy. What more of an important person do you need? Do we need Mr. Bush to announce it for you?

Well no not really, Bush holds no importance in my life whatsoever, he just runs a country thousands of miles away from me. What I was saying is if this was official it would be on an official website thats all, anyone can say shigsy said this shigsy said that but whats important is what shigsy actually said. So for now I aint believing it.

I don't think i could have said it better myself :)

Anyway, back to the subject. Humm, shiggys has said outrageous things before. Remember when he first talked about the possibility of having fox mc cloud in dinosaur planet. And no one took it seriously, and now look whats happened. So i think everything shiggys says should be considered. But i have to agree with what someone else said before. All the characters in Mario Kart are associated with Mario. Donkey Kong may not have appeared in a mario game. But Mario did first appear in the original Donkey Kong, and so. Is associated with Mario. What i would prefer to see, is if they brought back the character that was cut from the early version of Mario kart 64. That character who i can't remember his name, Magi-something or other. A bloke who works for bowser, and has a wand and magic. YOU KNOW WHO I MEAN DAMMIT!
And other charatcers that have appeared in mario games but have long since disappeared. And what about Waluigi from Mario Tennis, or even characters from the Donkey kong...no wait, forget i said that. Donkey Kong will be having his own racing game made by Rare. It is good to hear that Nintendo are trying to do something different with Mario Kart tho. Like Rare is trying to do something different with there next racing game.

Infact, i'm kind of please that both games are in development now and are a long way off. Although Diddy kong racing was a brilliant game. Some did say i had a close resembulance to Mario Kart. But Rare are trying something different with Donkey knog racing and have already stated this (i'm not going into description, because then this post would be to long. But i warn anyone who argues this point. I AM PREPARED TO MAKE ANOTHER POST IF I HAVE TO). But if Nintendo to are trying something different with Mario Kart, then we should get two brillant and different racers on GC. Which please me know end, NOW THEY JUST NEED TO DELIVER!!!!

Yes I know precicely who you mean, the blue wizard Magi Koopa... I want Koopa Troopa back aswell. Here's an early MK64 screen for reference. Look there he is in the background.

Ric 02-24-2002 07:40 PM

And here's another shot, look there he is in second place trying to get past Toad's fat head.
