Mario Kart Double Dash Gets Turbo Boost

Posted by simoniker on from the rainbow-road-peyote-experience dept.

SuperRob writes "Planet GameCube apparently has an exclusive (until ECTS, that is) on the post-E3 changes to Nintendo's Mario Kart: Double Dash for GameCube. Notable updates are weapons specific to each character, a new battle mode, and a huge speed increase (the top complaint about the game from E3)." There's more info at fan site Mario Kart Central, which has even started mapping the new game tracks for this keenly-awaited sequel before release - it's currently due in America on November 17th.

    Rockstar buys out the Mario franchise and creates Grand Theft Mario Kart where you'll get to jack Luigi's ride, pay the princess to make your car go "squeeky squeeky", and sell Shrooms out of the Mr. Koompa van.
