That Honeybee House level looks awful but the other two look alright. The sherbet one looks like it has a more fun design to play, the Wuhu one looks quite interesting to explore but it might be too big.

Didn't see the Wuhu one (since Staydead strawberry floated the embedding up). That one doesn't look too bad. Better than the other two at least.

Actually really pleased with the character roster in this. Characters not returning include waluigi, any of the baby characters, browser jr, diddy kong and birdo Almost as if Nintendo have realized how awful these characters are. Almost.

They've not said what characters are unlockable and they won't announce that on the site.

They're all on the site already.

Look at the MKWii site or the DS one. They only have the starting ones.

Look at the screenshots of the game. Those are the 8 starting characters, the rest are all unlocked.

The official site has all the tracks listed, too, even though half of them are unlocked as you play.

That's the Super Mario Kart (SNES) roster. Nice little throwback.

Having to unlock Wario :x

Also I'd rather have Waluigi than most of those unlockable ones.

The current Donkey Kong is Donkey Kong Jr. Cranky Kong is the old Donkey Kong.

This is malignant for diapered cartoon girls crutches as well

You're mixing things up I think.

The "official" line is that Rare's Donkey Kong IS Donkey Kong Jr. just grown up. But then HAL strawberry floated up in Smash Bros by saying that Cranky Kong is the original Donkey Kong Jr. and that Rare's Donkey Kong is his grandson.

Or something like that, I dunno.

Who is Donkey Kong's father and Cranky's son, that's what I want to know.

This is the original Donkey Kong:

Who grows up to become Cranky Kong:

This is his son:

Who grows up to become what we know as Donkey Kong, who first appeared in this form in the Country games on the SNES

Donkey Kong is Cranky's grandson, not his son. Even says that in the original Donkey Kong Country.
