Soon after the game's release to the Virtual Console yesterday, the folks over at Go Nintendo downloaded the title for the affluent cost of 1,000 Wii Points (we're paid in pain) and got together for a three-man session. They discovered something odd, however, when racing on the track Moo Moo Farm. The odd occurrence deals with the speed of the game, which they determine "is about double that of 150 cc."
Video is embedded past the post break.

Uhm yeah, that issue dates back to the N64 version. DK's Jungle Parkway has a similar glitch.
Just shows that everything's perfectly emulated.

Never noticed this myself, but i never usually had 3 players, either 2 or 4 for multiplayer
But this is awesome, its like they took the guys from F-Zero and put them on Moo Moo Farm...

It's not a glitch.
IT'S A FEATURE!

yeah, i was wondering about that. i had the original but never played with just 3 people. coincidentally, today when i was playing 3 player on moo moo farm i noticed that it was going extremely fast, considering it was the first level i played today i just thought that's how it always was. guess not. pretty sick though.

I'm with everyone who said it was in the original N64 version already. I also know that this was also the case for 3 (or 4, i don't remember) people on Skyscraper in Battle Mode (which was where I noticed the increased speed in the first place).

And to #1, Smoke
What I remember in DK's Jungle Parkway is the complete opposite of that "glitch": noticeably decreased speed... I could be wrong, but it's just what I remember.

Hmm, in the PAL version there's quite a bit of speedup on 2P DK Jungle Parkway. And that remains in the VC version. I've seen slowdowns on tracks too, but it's been about 5 years since I last owned Mario Kart 64, and I haven't played the VC one in multiplayer much yet(Especially not in 3 or 4 player mode)

The increased speed on Skyscraper was a bug? I always thought that was to make the course harder!

The video is down due to "terms of use violation". My question is: Was this video a violation? or is this some sort of glitch cover up?
