Some of those new characters will include Metal Mario, Rosalina and Daisy as shown below. For example, the frames that are around the pictures of the players will be a Santa Clause hat for Christmas. Throughout the year the game will change with certain themes during holidays and seasons. No Banapassport card system is mentioned in any of the documentation. If you are an operator, then you have to purchase a pair of specialized router devices to connect the machines to the internet but other than that the online portion will be free (no revenue sharing or anything like that which has occurred on some of Namco’s overseas online titles like Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 4). They have tested the waters with the idea when they released the kit version of Tekken Tag Tournament 2 Unlimited but that was nowhere near as big a release as MKAGPDX. This is Bandai Namco’s first major push for online features in an arcade game outside of Asia. Now for some of the details about the online part.

I’m not aware of any home version of MK having that many items to choose from.

More items will be added with the online updates mentioned below, with it reaching a total of 150 planned items after 5 years (the version releasing now still has quite a bit – 90 items). With the first version of the game there will be 90 different items you can pickup by driving over the ? icons on the track, what items being available are randomized at the beginning of each race. VERY COOL!Īnother piece of documentation that came with what I was sent also mentions “10 completely redesigned courses with new aerial and underwater sections!” It also mentions that in CO-OP mode when a Kart is fused you have unlimited green shells to fire. The player shooting opponents can use the steering wheel to turn 360 degrees to fire upon other drivers with green shells. When this happens, one player is driving the car, and one player Is shooting opponents. Throughout the race the two players’ carts will come together as one. CO-OP Mode- Players can team up together against their friends or the computer.
