Yes. Because you can't do stuff like this in Super Mario 64

Which is why Super Mario 64 is inferior to Mario Party in every way possible

Anyway, the topic. Let's get back to it.

Re: Mario Kart Wii U

I was only answering your question why Mario Party is superior to Super Mario 64 unless you meant it as a rhetorical question

Still, the Metal Box is just like an inferior version of the star. Hell, it's an inferior version of the Mega Mushroom, since it does grant you some sort of invincibility and offense.

What do you guys think about a "Double-Dash" mode and a "Normal" mode? (I apologize if this has already been discussed.)

Re: Mario Kart Wii U

My visions of the Metal Box would be the following...

While the racer is metallic, he/she will become very heavy, being able to push aside even the heaviest karts with relative ease. Also, the kart becomes highly resistant to most item attacks (including Spiny Shells), not flinching, but will still lose some speed upon getting hit; the only items that can bypass the Metal Box's flinch resistance are the Star, the Mega Mushroom, and the Bullet Bill. The Metal Box also protects the racer from the Thunderbolt, keeping him/her from turning tiny. If two karts are metallic, the heavier kart will push the lighter kart aside. The effects of the Metal Box last for 20 seconds, but it'll immediately expire if the player has to be picked up by Lakitu.

If Metal Mario, for some reason comes back, one can tell the difference between Mario using the Metal Box, and Metal Mario, by noticing that the kart will be metallic when the Metal Box is used. Metal Mario's kart will not appear metallic, unless he uses the Metal Box himself. Also, unique to Metal Mario only is that he'll be given a golden metal coloring whenever he uses the Metal Box, instead of the typical silver metal coloring that all the other characters use.

I'm one of the few people who actually prefers to race by myself instead of teamwork. I prefer independence than teamwork when it comes to video games by myself.

This is a good idea, but the Metal Mario thing should be rendered moot since Metal Mario shouldn't even be a separate character anymore.

Re: Mario Kart Wii U

Well it is a what if scenario. Outside of DLC, Metal Mario is not on my roster input.

Re: Mario Kart Wii U

Yeah, but you know, hypothetical scenarios are numerous and we should focus on what logically should happen.

Anyway, I'm tired of seeing Mario receive a circuit/raceway. Make him have something else for once. And no, I am not including the Mario Kart Arcade GP series.

I could pretty much say the same thing with Rainbow Road, but it is a staple track in the Mario Kart franchise.
