New Mario Kart Double Dash Footage
StrikerObi writes "Planet GameCube has posted the first ever footage of Mario Kart Double Dash for the GameCube. It was recorded earlier off of the CNN Headline News television network. The game now has 2 characters riding on each kart, with one driving and the other using weapons. There is also some footage of the new F-Zero GX game in the reel." There's also a torrent file available from the fine folks at GameTab.
You mean 8 players on two cubes connected via LAN, don't you?
Ganked from the above article is the list of confirmed playable characters:
Also, it's been said that you can choose any two characters to race on any given cart, as evidenced in this pic, which clearly shows Mario paired with the Princess instead of Luigi.
I wish I had a kryptonite cross, because then you could keep Dracula and Superman away.
If I remember correctly, you pair the characters up with whomever you want to. The whole point is you have a driver that has certain characteristics and a weapons character, that has certain characteristics. Remember in the first Mario Kart how the NPC version of Donkey Kong could drop banana peels etc? This is along the same lines.
