    wow, good call paq… I don’t know how I missed those two.

    Thanks, added to the post

  • DASMASHA

    dude, I played this game for 4 hours straight. This is a great Mario Kart, lots of fun, tons of unlockables, I think the reviews of this game are a bit harsh. Also Online play is perfect, no lag, fast, crazy and fun.

  • totallynotjosh

    just bought it like 45 minutes ago but arent going to play it until tomorrow.
    wiiwheel…unnecessary yet totally awesome feeling.

    can’t wait

    You have to win all of the races, i.e. score 60 pts in a GP.

  • mcarey16

  • MK

  • http://www.hotmail.com james

    i want 2 know to mk

    it sounds like u could unlock some pretty kool stuff though

  • cheaters

    To beat a course as soon as the course begins you would need to cheat. It’s lazy and doesn’t prove anything except that your a cheater. It is not something that is ‘unlockable’.
