Well, I am not against the motorbikes per say. Better than a potential Mario Motorbikes game on it's on.

Just seems like a lot of games are doing it think PGR 4 did it, think need for Speed is doing it not sure.

I think they look cool and they do seem to add some stuff to it like tricks and looser control from the video seen.
But Mario Kart is arcadey to begin with so I don't know.

As for the stunts, they look cool and knowing Mario Kart series shall lead to some interesting shortcuts. Maybe mini speed bursts like the er blue flames

Aww, motorcycles will be awesome. They'll fit the fast-paced action of Mario Kart. Big double karts featured in Double Dash didn't really do it for me - I always picked the light karts. I'll definitely be using motorcycles.

i fail to see how motorcycles change the dynamic of the game

it was one thing in diddy kong racing, for example, to have a plane which offered an off-road course, or a hovercraft which offered an in-water course, but when you have a franchise called mario KART adding motorcycles does what?

The best motorcycle game was called Road Rash, and it kicked ass. The best Kart game was Mario Kart. This is a gimmick.

And Sonic has sucked for a long time, I thought the GBA side scrollers were okay, but nothing has hit home like Sonic 2 or Sonic 3.
