All-Cup Tour

The All-Cup Tour is an unlockable cup in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! .

In Mario Kart: Double Dash!! [ ]

The All-Cup Tour is the fifth cup, and it can be unlocked by winning first place in 150cc Special Cup . The All-Cup Tour differs from the other cups in that the racers have to race on every track from the four previous cups— Mushroom Cup , Flower Cup , Star Cup , and Special Cup —rather than on a selection of four unique courses. This is reflected by All-Cup Tour's name as well as its logo, which consists of each of the other four cup symbols.

The game randomizes the order in which the courses are raced on, although it always begins with Luigi Circuit , the first course overall, and concludes with Rainbow Road , the final course overall.

Completing All-Cup Tour in 150cc unlocks Mirror Mode . Beating the All-Cup Tour in Mirror Mode unlocks the Parade Kart . Completing All-Cup Tour in 50cc and 100cc does not unlock anything specific, but completing All-Cup Tour in all four engine classes is necessary for unlocking the special title and ending screens.

Mario Kart Tour’s All Cup Ranking Explained

Mario Kart Tour All Cup Ranking is a great way to pit yourself against players around the world.

After completing the first three cups in the game players unlock the ranked cup. Each time a player races they gather points in various ways: having a ‘rocket start’, collecting coins along the way, using items against the other racers, and combos of jump and turbo boosts .

Each cup consists of four racecourses, so to access the All-Cup Rankings, racers must complete 12 courses. Each cup you complete gives you Grand Stars, which allow you to unlock more cups, giving you the chance to climb higher in the ranks. The better you perform in each race, the more Grand Stars you can win, and the better chance you have of hitting the global All-Cup Rankings.

Don’t forget, your choice of kart, glider, and driver matters too. Choose them wisely and they can help you get that well-deserved first place, and extra points when performing stunts. You can earn rubies to purchase better gear to race with by finishing first place first and winning 1000 gold coins, 20 rubies, and tickets.

Spend your rubies on launching the green pipe for a chance to win a surprise driver, kart, or glider, or choose one for yourself from those available in the tier shop .

Every time you race in a rank-eligible cup you climb higher in the global ranking so aim for the highest scores in those cups. All scores will be compared at the end of the week’s rankings so drift, boost, and speed your way to the top of the ranks.

Compare your score to the global All-Cup Rankings here!

• Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is a racing game developed and published by Nintendo for the GameCube and the fourth main entry in the Mario Kart series . It was released in November 2003 worldwide, being released in Japan first and later being rereleased as a Player's Choice title in Australia and New Zealand. [4] The game, while retaining many aspects of the previous Mario Kart games, such as selecting a Super Mario franchise character as the player's driver and the familiar item-based weaponry that the series employs, introduces a feature that is unique to this entry in the Mario Kart series: the two-person karts, hence the title of the game. Two characters handle a single kart, where one character drives and the other uses items, and they can switch positions at any time if necessary. This is the only game in the franchise where two players can play cooperatively in one kart, with each player handling a single character, though the option to play in separate 2-person karts for each player is still available. In addition, the game introduces Special Items , items that are exclusive to a pair of characters. The game is one of the few games to take advantage of LAN Mode via the Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adapter , which allows up to sixteen players to participate in a single race.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is the first Mario Kart game in the series to employ 3D graphics for characters and items, as opposed to Mario Kart 64 using pre-rendered sprites to display these objects. The game also introduces a larger variety of karts to select from depending on the character combo's weight class rather than the standard go-kart being the sole vehicle all racers use, and this variety of vehicles has been retained in all the Mario Kart games since.

New features [ edit ]

As with every new Mario Kart game, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! incorporates several new features, granting a new style of playing for the users. Apart from that, there are two characters per kart; the number of playable characters was increased to join the race. As implied in various Super Mario franchise games, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! contains many elements to unlock as well. By beating the cups available in every engine level, the player unveils other hidden levels, karts , and other playable characters in the game. Furthermore, there is a very dynamic selection of karts: every kart has specific stats that distinguishes from the others, as well as capturing their respective character's style; for instance, Mario 's kart, the Red Fire . In the first three games, there was only one kart that the players could use, which was what Mario Kart 7 and games after this would eventually call the Pipe Frame .

When breaking Item Boxes , characters can receive any standard item or a Special Item , a new type of item unique to a specific pair of characters. Additionally, items dropped on the course, including Bananas, Shells, Mushrooms, and Stars, instantly affect the first kart that touches it. The effects of certain items have changed considerably as well.

Another notable change featured in the game is the point system given to the racers after a competition in Grand Prix mode. It resembles a hybrid of the point systems used for Formula One from 1991-2002 (10-6-4-3-2-1) and from 2003 onwards (10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1), whereas earlier Mario Kart games use a point system resembling the one used for Formula One from 1962-1990 (9-6-4-3-2-1). Additionally, players cannot retry a failed race in Grand Prix mode, as opposed to the first three games. Users have to continue racing until finishing a cup to see the overall results. This new system is used for all Mario Kart installments since this game. The following chart shows the difference of the point spreads from the previous games to Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

This is also the first Mario Kart game that can be played in multiple languages, besides English and Japanese, and to feature live-rendered 3D models for the characters and items instead of the pre-rendered sprites seen in previous installments.

However, more than the new point system, Mario Kart: Double Dash!! also added important features that would become mainstays of the future Mario Kart titles. For example, before the start of every race, a short overview of the track, lasting a few seconds, shows all of the big features of the track, such as obstacles, scenery, and the characters at the finish line . Also, the countdown to the start of the race lasts for one second longer; in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! , the countdown is "3, 2, 1, START," (with the start signal being horizontal instead of vertical, its red lights turning on from left to right, and all lights turning green on "START") while in the first three games, it is represented by three lights and three counts (in Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 , the first two lights are red, while the third light is green or blue, respectively, while in Mario Kart: Super Circuit , the first two lights are yellow and the third light is blue; the lights also turn on from top to bottom). Also, when the player crosses the finish line to begin the next lap, Lakitu will appear either on the left side or the right side of the player depending on the direction of the final turn of the course to the finish line, holding the lap count signs (if the race finishes with a left turn, Lakitu will appear on the right side of the player; if the race finishes with a right turn, Lakitu will appear on the left side of the player). Also, when the player goes into the last lap of the race, the background music increases its pitch by a semitone.

Characters [ edit ]

Drivers [ edit ]

Supporting characters [ edit ].

In addition to the playable drivers, numerous other Super Mario franchise characters play supporting roles in the game as well. Lakitu reprises his role as the referee, meaning that he signals the start of each and every race and battle with his starting lights, alerts players when they complete a lap around the course, tells the drivers when they're going in the wrong direction, waves the checkered flag to finish the race at the finish line , and returns drivers to the track if they land themselves in a dangerous predicament (i.e. falling off the course). Other characters who make cameos include Shy Guys , Piranha Plants , Cataquacks , and Dinosaurs . Toadsworth drives the winners of a cup around Peach Beach in the Parade Kart . Piantas and Nokis from Super Mario Sunshine cheer the racers on in some courses and join them during the Award Ceremony.

Controls [ edit ]

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! has various controls for racing and menus. Each button on the controller represents a different ability while the player is racing or battling.

Menu controls [ edit ]

Race controls [ edit ]

Single play [ edit ]

Co-op play [ edit ]

Courses and game modes [ edit ].

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! contains sixteen new racing courses added, along with six new battle courses. Each racecourse contains its own difficulty and gimmicks. Up to four players can play in all the modes, excluding Time Trial mode, where only one is permitted. In addition, the users can play independently or in cooperative mode, a unique style of gameplay only featured in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Grand Prix [ edit ]

In Grand Prix Mode, the player needs to win the cups against computer-controlled opponents. The difficulty level against CPU racers changes in each of the four engine classes, which are the following:

• 50cc - Easy. The minimum top speed is low for all karts and CPU racers have a very limited selection of items. Any kart takes the 1st and 2nd place positions.
• 100cc - Normal. The minimum top speed is fairly average, while CPU drivers have a wider selection of items: they may throw Red Shells at players. Lightweight karts are almost never in the top positions (when controlled by CPU).
• 150cc - Hard. The minimum top speed in the karts is high, and CPU drivers have a wider selection of Items, most notably, the Spiny Shell 's addition. In this level, CPU drivers can take down players using the items against them. Additionally, all the characters race in mixed teams. CPU-controlled heavyweight karts usually take the top positions, with middleweight cars very rarely taking the top positions (when controlled by CPU).
• Mirror - Very Hard. Similar to 150cc engine class, however, all the tracks are mirrored. CPU-controlled heavyweight karts usually take the top positions, with middleweight cars very rarely taking the top positions (when controlled by CPU). This engine class is not unlocked until players beat the All-Cup Tour in 150cc.

There are mainly four cups in Grand Prix mode, each one with four tracks to race. These cups bear their difficulty levels as well as the race courses within. The most basic is Mushroom Cup with simple courses and few gimmicks. Special Cup, on the other hand, contains long and gimmicky race courses. All the race courses have three laps, except Baby Park, which has seven because of its short length, and Wario Colosseum, which has two because of its long length.

Special Cup is unlocked when players beat 100cc Star Cup.

A fifth cup, the All-Cup Tour is the conglomeration of all the cups in the game. It is unlocked after players beat the Special Cup in 150cc. The sixteen races are played through one after another in random order, with the exceptions of Luigi Circuit always appearing first and Rainbow Road always appearing last. This cup does not appear in other racing modes.

In GP Mode, two players can join a race, as themselves or in Co-op play. Players can play Grand Prix mode with two players in different karts or in co-op mode with two to four players.

Time Trial [ edit ]

In Time Trial, a single player races courses over a set number of laps to record the fastest completion time. Before racing, adding the player's name entry registers their records available. When a race starts, the characters have two Mushrooms in hand for speed boost. The best time elapsed in a lap and a race on a specific track is saved after completing the race. Once a race is completed on a course, the user is able to compete against either their Ghost from the current Ghost data or, once unlocked, the Staff Ghost within the stage. Otherwise, if a race is failed, the Ghost data is not saved. The Ghost data recording can be disabled in the Options screen menu. Each Ghost save is worth five blocks on the GameCube Memory Card.

In Japan, players were able to submit special codes in Time Trial mode as part of a contest. The contest never existed outside of Japan, but the results of the code can still be accessed in all versions of the game .

Staff ghosts [ edit ]

The following ghosts were recorded by members of the game's staff. Generally, the driver is the same character that the course is themed after according to the course's internal name, while the rider is their pair and the kart is the default-unlocked one shared between them; the exceptions are Baby Park , which is named after Baby Luigi internally yet has him as the rider while Baby Mario is the driver, Dry Dry Desert and Sherbet Land , which do not have character theming, and Rainbow Road , which also lacks character theming and also has an atypical pair of Mario and Peach on the Red Fire . Bowser Jr. is the only default character to not be a driver in any staff ghost, Bowser is the only one to not be a rider, and Mario and Peach are the only ones to have the same role twice, once with their respective standard partner and once with each other.

Battle [ edit ]

In Battle Mode , two to four players can compete against each other using a variety of items (including all the special items) on courses made specifically for battles.

Battle Mode contains three different sub-modes:

Battle courses [ edit ]

Versus [ edit ].

Versus (for two to four players) allows racers to select their characters and karts, and compete among themselves on the tracks. It is also possible to play in versus mode through a LAN connection where more than four players can join a competition. Additionally, there are some versus options found in the Option menu to change the mode's gameplay:

• Number of Laps: The number of laps set over all tracks, ranging from one to nine. If one lap is chosen, the beginning of the race starts as a Final Lap with Final Lap fanfare music.
• Recommended: Default way in obtaining certain item by racer's place.
• Basic: Powerful items such as Lightning and Stars are rarely obtainable.
• Frantic: Basic items such as Fake Items , Bananas , and Green Shells are rarely obtainable.
• None: No items to use at all.

The following table below excludes Time Trial as it is a single player exclusive mode.

Karts [ edit ]

Twenty-one karts are available in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! , notable for having different designs and appearances. There is one kart for each character, plus the Parade Kart . Every kart has three ratings, rated by the number of stars. The maximum amount is five.

• Acceleration: How quickly a kart can achieve its top speed.
• Speed: The level of top speed when the kart goes forward.
• Weight: The weight of the kart.

Just as the characters are classified according to their weights, karts are split into three groups in size with some general characteristics:

• Light : Lightweight karts show good acceleration but poor top speed and low weight. They can be easily bumped away by heavier karts. They do not lose a lot of speed when they go off course, but their turning is too wide.
• Medium : Medium-weight vehicles show average top speed and acceleration. Some karts within this group have slightly varied stats, however.
• Heavy : Heavyweight karts have the highest level of weight among the karts, capable of knocking away most light and some medium-weight vehicles/characters away. Many of these show high top speed, although their acceleration and off-road are fairly poor. They also have tighter turning.

As shown from the image, each combination of characters also determines the class of kart that is used for the race. The Parade Kart, unlocked by completing All-Cup Tour in Mirror Mode, however, can be driven by any combination of characters.

Kart stats [ edit ]

These are the kart stats that are displayed in-game.

Actual stats [ edit ]

The stars shown on the vehicle selection screen are less precise than the actual values used by the game; [5] Speed and Weight each have 9 distinct values rather than 5, and the differences in Acceleration are mainly due to two values, generating 9 possible combinations that do not necessarily line up with the menu stats: the first value affects mainly the first phase of acceleration while starting from a standstill, the second affects acceleration when the speed is higher than around 50% of the maximum speed. [6] [7] [8] When drifting, acceleration depends on values that are the same for all karts. Drifting itself can begin when the speed of the kart is at least 15 km/h (26 units). When the speed is lower than that, trying to drift results in the kart having an acceleration value proportional to the first acceleration value, but considerably smaller than that. [6] [9] The values determine acceleration in terms of increase of relative speed, the fraction of current speed to top speed, over time. [10] Speed is reported in units, from which the values in the speedometer are calculated using the following conversion factors: [6] S km/h = S units / 1.75 S mph = S units / 2.5 Speed is actually capped at 175 units (100 km/h, 70 mph). [11] Furthermore, there is a hidden Off-Road stat that determines a vehicle's top speed in most off-road terrains, such as grass. Weak off-road patches, like the yellow sand in Dry Dry Desert , reduce the kart's top speed by a fixed 20 units (~11 km/h, 8 mph). On the other hand, middle off-road patches, such as the grassy and sandy part where the Chain Chomp lies in Luigi Circuit , reduce speed to a value dependent on the kart chosen. Finally, heavy Off-Road areas such as the reddish sand in Dry Dry Desert or underwater parts, slow down all karts to a fixed 40 units speed (23 km/h, 16 mph). [6] When shrunken by Lightning , the top speed in normal roads and weak off-road sections goes down by 20 units, while the top speed in medium off-road sections goes down by 10 units. The top speed in heavy off-road sections stays unaltered. [5] All karts have their own Mini-Turbo value, however all light karts have a Mini-Turbo boost that lasts 30 frames, all medium karts have a 20 frames Mini-Turbo boost, and all heavy karts have a 10 frames Mini-Turbo boost. The Parade Kart also has a Mini-Turbo boost that lasts 30 frames. [6]

• ^ In Battle Mode, the Goo-Goo Buggy's weight value is 1.
• ^ a b c Top speed values in various conditions are relative to the 150cc class.

Staff Ghosts [ edit ]

This game follows Mario Kart 64 in including the possibility to race against Staff Ghosts, ghosts created by Nintendo staff as the main ghosts of the course. They can be unlocked by achieving a certain time on the respective course. Below is a table showing all Staff Ghosts and their respective times. [12] Generally speaking, the character in the driver's seat corresponds to the "owner" of the course; between them, Bowser Jr. is the only default character to lack a designated course.

Items [ edit ]

Traditional items from Super Mario Kart through Mario Kart: Super Circuit appear in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! with a bunch of new power-ups to change a race drastically, such as stealing the opponent's place or item by using a Mushroom or reducing the racers to small size with the rare Lightning. The rear character obtains a determinate item by running into an Item Box . However, Double Item Boxes give items to both the rear character and driver. The variety of items depends on the kart's place. Leader racers tend to receive basic items such as Bananas or Green Shells, while those going under fourth place can receive rare items like a Star or a Spiny Shell.

Items are classified in two forms:

• Standard: Drivers can obtain these types of items when they go through an Item Box or Double Item Box.
• Special: Some drivers obtain a special item that other drivers cannot obtain by an Item Box. When a character holds a special item, the second character cannot obtain another special item via Item Box.

Standard Items [ edit ]

Special items [ edit ].

• Petey Piranha and King Boo have the ability to obtain any special item, excluding green Fireballs and Birdo's Egg.
• Note: Although special items can only be obtained by the characters they are assigned to, if a player is holding a special item, another player can steal it by colliding with the player holding the item while under the influence of a Mushroom, Star, or Slide Attack. Also, any character can get any special item in Battle Mode. Finally, in Co-Op Mode, the driver can pass a special item to the person in the back.

Unlocking matrix [ edit ]

Winning first on most cups for each difficulty unlocks a specific reward. The easier versions of the All-Cup Tour do not, but they are still required to unlock the special ending picture and title screen.

Driving techniques [ edit ]

Drifting and mini turbo [ edit ].

This tactic can be used to perform "snaking" (continuous power sliding) and elude homing hazards such as Red Shells.

Rocket Start [ edit ]

Double Dash [ edit ]

Item steal [ edit ]

Item stealing is snatching a power-up directly from the rival's hands in a kart. There are three ways to steal an item as long as the player's rear character holds no items. Items can be stolen when the rear racer uses a mushroom or a star to hit an opposing kart and snatch the item that one of the rivals have. In Co-op Mode, the player's rear character can use the Slide Attack to knock other rivals and take their items away. However, if the rear character knocks a rival kart with two players holding an item, the character can get the rival rear character's item, while the rival driver drops the other item onto the track.

LAN Mode [ edit ]

Using the Nintendo GameCube Broadband Adapter (sold separately) attached to the game system, in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! it is possible to play via Local Area Network (LAN), using up to eight Nintendo GameCube systems connected to a hub device, or also using two consoles connected together through a cross-cable, where more than four players can join a race locally. This means that up to sixteen users can play at the same time with their friends using two or more GameCube systems with the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! game discs on.

LAN Mode does not work on the Wii , as the system disables the Ethernet port when it switches to play GameCube games and the GameCube Broadband adapter is not compatible.

On the LAN Mode title screen, there are three options:

• Start Game: Begin Versus LAN play.
• Game Mode: Select one of these game modes available: Versus, Balloon Battle, or Shine Thief. Bob-omb Blast cannot be played in the LAN setup. Only in Versus mode can the number of laps on the tracks and the engine classes be changed.
• Order of Courses: Choose the way in which courses or stages are selected: Random, All courses, one course or All-cups (only for Versus).
• Co-op: Enable or Disable Cooperative Mode.
• Screen Division: Split the screen. This option applies to all TVs and is not available if there are more than four Nintendo GameCube systems in use.
• Quit LAN Mode: Stop playing LAN Mode.

Unlike the local multiplayer, the players' characters are chosen at random each time a race begins.

Toad and Toadette can be selected, providing they have been unlocked on one of the Memory Cards. Petey Piranha and King Boo however are never picked, even if they have been unlocked on one of the Memory Cards.

The kart that is picked is the one that belongs to the driver, unless either their respective kart has not been unlocked on any of the Memory Cards or the partner is a bigger weight class than the driver. This means that the Piranha Pipes, Boo Pipes, and Parade Kart cannot be used in LAN mode.

LAN connection [ edit ]

In this way, two to eight Nintendo GameCube systems are connected to an over-the-counter 10BASE-T hub. The LAN cables used to connect every game system to the hub must be compatible, otherwise, the connection is not carried out. Every Nintendo GameCube system has to have attached their Nintendo Broadband Adapter, and the Mario Kart: Double Dash!! game disc in hand, one per system. At last, the number of GameCube controllers used depends on the number of players present.

Cross-cable connection [ edit ]

Unlike LAN connection, where it uses a hub to connect GameCube systems to it, the Cross-cable connection requires of only two GameCube game systems connected between themselves, through a 10BASE-T hub-compatible cross-cable. The rest of the required equipment is similar: A Mario Kart: Double Dash!! game disc per system, the Nintendo Broadband Adapter attached to the game system, and the number of GameCube controllers regarding how many players participate.

Troubleshooting [ edit ]

Occasionally the users may experience malfunctions or be unable to connect due to technical problems.

• When using an incompatible LAN cable with the Hub in use, or using another type of cable different to the cross-cable to connect two systems directly.
• A LAN cable is not fully inserted into the Hub or any game system.
• A LAN cable was removed during the transfer of data.
• Any game system was turned off or the game system's RESET button was pressed in the process.
• When some device other than a Nintendo GameCube is connected to the Hub.
• When a Hub or LAN cable not compatible with the 10BASE-T standard is being used.
• When more than eight Nintendo GameCube systems have been connected.

Pre-release and unused content [ edit ]

The models of the characters are from Super Smash Bros. Melee , and Mario and Luigi are seen in this trailer of a very early build of the game, driving separately, each in a simple, blue kart.

Donkey Kong Jr. was also seen in an early build of the character selection screen, but was scrapped in the end, likely replaced with Diddy Kong.

In the data of a demo version, there are references to a Reverse Cup, which may have had courses played backwards. There is a texture and 3D models of the trophies for this cup. Racing on courses in the reverse direction would not be fully implemented until Mario Kart Tour .

Glitches [ edit ]

Permanent upside-down car [ edit ]

This glitch only works with the Parade Kart . To perform the glitch, the player should go to a place where they can get smashed by a course obstacle, such as the Thwomps in Bowser's Castle or the blue dinosaur in Dino Dino Jungle (Bowser's Castle is preferred because the Thwomps are stationary). This glitch best works for two players, as timing is needed. One player should drive underneath a Thwomp, while the other should receive an explosive power-up, either a Spiny Shell or a Bob-omb . When received, the player should fire the item at the correct moment, blasting the kart into the air and getting smashed under the floating Thwomp. After falling down, if done correctly, the player remains upside down. Note that the player is invincible in this position and the player can only revert to a normal position if Lightning strikes them and a Thwomp afterward.

Staff [ edit ]

Yasuyuki Oyagi was one of directors of the game along with Futoshi Shirai and Daiji Imai. Oyagi previously served as the assisant director of Mario Kart 64 and would later take the role of director in future Mario Kart titles. Shinobu Nagata , who composed some of the songs in Super Mario Sunshine , did the composition and arrangement of Peach Beach's music. In his first credited role under a Super Mario game, Ichiro Suzuki served as debug support.

Reception [ edit ]

Critical reception [ edit ].

The game received favorable reviews, attaining an average score of 87.20% on GameRankings based on 73 reviews and an average score of 87 on Metacritic based on 58 reviews. [13] [14]

Spencer McIlvaine of Nintendo Life gave the game 9 stars out of 10, praising the game as being a worthy successor to the Mario Kart franchise, despite that it has less innovation than the other games. He concluded with "Nevertheless, the game has lost some of the edge that it had in its first two outings and shows fewer innovative ideas here. This time around the game was mostly about better graphics and less buggy programming with a few gimmicks thrown in like having two drivers instead of one. As a result, Double Dash is not the most recommended Mario Kart game in the franchise. But compared to other games in general it's still one heck of a ride." [15] Tom Bramwell of Eurogamer gave the game a score of 9 out of 10. He praised the game for adding more content, especially the online LAN mode. He wrote, "In my opinion, it's not a better game than the original Super Mario Kart , but it is the closest anyone's ever come, and one of the finest pieces of electronic entertainment ever developed." He also stated that rating Mario Kart Double Dash!! was the hardest thing he did because he always wanted to write about it. [16]

On the contrast, Edge Magazine UK gave the game a 5 out of 10, criticizing the game of "not being a racing game any more". [17] Fran Mirabella III of IGN gave the game a score of 7.9 out of 10. He criticized that Mario Kart Double Dash!! felt very similar to Mario Kart 64 and although it gets the job done that it felt that it had wasted potential. He praised the multiplayer for being superb. [18]

Sales [ edit ]

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is the second best-selling game for the Nintendo GameCube, right behind Super Smash Bros. Melee , with approximately 7 million copies sold, including 3.8 million copies in the United States, [19] and over 802,000 units in Japan, as of December 31, 2009. [20]

Names in other languages [ edit ]

Trivia [ edit ].

• This is the last main Mario Kart game to use the original series' logo for its box art and title screen. The next installment would introduce the new and current logo on the box art and title screen, though the original logo would still be used on courses' starting banners until Mario Kart 7 .
• On the box art for the International releases, the "L" on Luigi's cap is backwards.
• Mario's reflection in one of the promotional renders does not match Mario's expression. This is because at the time, 3D game artists relied on using environment mapping to mimic the reflective effects of metal. The environment map is a separate 2D image used to approximate a reflection. It is likely the environment map is used from another promotional render where it would match the facial expression of Mario's reflection.

Sleeper Picks: BMW Championship

Sleeper Picks

Change Text Size

Corey Conners (+4500) … Last week’s showcase of PGA TOUR non-winners populating the top three bets in Sleepers unintentionally helped prove why it’s typically unwise to lean into them in the FedExCup Playoffs. Denny McCarthy, who was not featured – he wasn’t eligible because he was inside the top 50 in points – and finished T9, was the only non-winner inside the top 10. Maverick McNealy (the outright) and the previously scuffling Will Zalatoris shared runner-up honors among the subset with T12s. So, Zalatoris, who won the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship, remains the more recent of only two breakthrough winners in Playoffs history. Nine non-winners qualified for this week’s BMW Championship, but it’s time to abandon that pursuit. Conners is a two-time winner on TOUR. He’s 33rd in the FedExCup and seventh in points to qualify automatically for the Internationals in the Presidents Cup, and this week is the deadline . Because Castle Pines Golf Club is unfamiliar, ball-strikers have the upper hand, at least early. Pure and simple, he’s the natural fit.

Will Zalatoris (+750) … Nothing like the promise of four rounds to reconnect with the kind of form for which he knows he’s capable. He ended an extended drought that included a new injury with a T12 last week at TPC Southwind where every club contributed to the cause. It lifted him 12 spots to 37th in the FedExCup, a lofty position made possible by an early-season flurry that must feel like ages ago for the 28-year-old who celebrated his birthday with a second-round 65, his best score of the tournament. From our standpoint, it’s exactly the kind of firepower that we needed to lean into momentum and the promise of another four rounds at Castle Pines where he can thrust himself into early contention on his tee-to-green game alone. Oh, and this wouldn’t be the first time that he’s delivered on this bet. He was touted at +650 for a Top 5 at The Genesis Invitational and finished T2.

Austin Eckroat (+500) … It took the former standout at Oklahoma State University just six starts into his second season with a PGA TOUR card to record his first victory. That was at the Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches in early March. The learning curve has won a few battles in the interim but he couldn’t ask for a better groove than a 6th-T18 burst since the Wyndham Championship. It has him 38th in the FedExCup and one more strong performance from advancing to the TOUR Championship. Including the coronation at PGA National, he’s played his best golf on shorter tracks that force him to rely on his ball-striking, which is elite. So, the curiosity is if his game will translate to the altitude and relative length of Castle Pines. However, given how quick of a study he’s been and that he has nothing to lose, this presents as the perfect combination of variables that will amplify his talent, patience and education.

Austin Eckroat wins the Cognizant Classic

Alex Noren (+125) … I’m genuinely surprised that the Swede is plus value for this finish in a field of 50. He’s been one of the steadiest and most lucrative plays all year, with his most recent of the valuable returns a T10-T13 fortnight in Scotland. He’s done so much so well that it’d be unfair to single anything out, but ranks ninth in adjusted scoring and fourth in bogey avoidance serve as appropriate broad strokes. The 42-year-old also has a litany of successes at altitude. While PGA TOUR fans in the United States might best remember him eschewing what eventually would have been a start in The Open Championship in 2022 in favor of the concurrently contested Barracuda Championship where he was the runner-up, he has multiple victories at elevation on the DP World Tour, including a pair in Switzerland. He’s 45th in the FedExCup.

Top Australian

Cam Davis (+300) … BetMGM has a Top 30 market, but the longest odds are only (-135) for Matthieu Pavon. Have at that if you wish, but Davis is more attractive in this one. He’d have to beat Adam Scott and Jason Day to pay this off – both are +140 in this market – but Davis arrives with an angle strong enough to warrant a unit. He’s not yet two months removed from his victory at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, an exceptionally well-timed achievement responsible for him sitting 49th in the FedExCup today. While his season-long analytics don’t support it, he’s always been an intriguing option when ball-striking plays up, and that component of his game is responsible for his recent uptick in form. This bet reminds me a little of when Seamus Power appeared in the same spot in Sleepers for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am for Top Irish. He was +550 and had to beat “only” Rory McIlroy, who sat atop my Power Rankings for the tournament. The outcome: Power T31, McIlroy T66. Scott is in my Power Rankings for the BMW Championship, and Day still could spoil, but Davis’ value is too enticing to ignore.

Odds were sourced at BetMGM.
