We're kicking off a week of everything Mario Kart with an overall look at the franchise, with an emphasis on old familiar faces and places. Reappearing characters, recurring tracks, and our oldest memories with the series: you'll find it all right here.
Looking to stay spoiler-free? Only very basic information is revealed about Mario Kart Wii, near the end of the gallery.

No but it has characters/tracks/karts/bikes and some people like to unlock them themselves and bask in their secretive glory....or something like that...

I'd hate to bitch, but the depth seems a little lacking. The gallery and captions amount to "Hey remember this?" with no discussion about how things have changed. For instance, you mention red shells but don't discuss how they originally were much faster but wouldn't navigate around obstacles. You mention ice tracks but make no mention of how the traps and obstacles varied from game to game. I did like the comparison of Mario Circuit on SNES, GBA, and Wii though.

Um, it says five CONSOLE releases... in which case, there are four, if I'm not mistaken... SNES, N64, GCN, and Wii... so you're both wrong. :p

Mario Kart Wii is great, the online blows SSBB out the water, the Mario Kart channel is a step forward in Nintendo Wifi, if anybody wants to get a game in send me a reply. I've had the game for about two weeks now and I'll try not to spoil it but if you liked the DS version you'll love this

I thought the Hindenburg one was perhaps in poor taste. Though certainly not too soon.
