Mario Kart has never been the kind of racer that focuses too much on graphics.

Compare for yourself:

The gamespot one has a lot of pictures (93) and they do not look like a huge upgrade graphics wise, but it look "cosier" which I really like.

Look at screen 28 on gamespot! That looks cool!

EDIT: Mario Kart Wii looks a lot better, after looking through some of the GS ones.

Look at screen 31/32, that's a DS course. It is heavily increased graphics wise. Good to know that half of the courses don't look like they did on DS

Looking at screen 34/35, I'd say it looks like Yoshi can lick people while in the air. Perhaps we can see special moves that boost speed.

The karts/characters themselves look relatively alike DD, but the courses look a lot better.

Picture 47-60ish are of courses only. They look great IMO. Have a look. Picture 53... Is that from Wii Play? The cow-game?

Picutre 55, THAT is a cool shortcut :D

Unfortunately, Miis looking at you are still 2D (see picture 56) they look really crappy.

They have 2 waluigi courses`? Isn't 59 the N64 one? Or am I wrong?

Picture 63 is close up on Bowser/DS, they look all right.

The "driving through rings missions" sees a return. Picutre 68. So does collect the coins (69)

Picture 78. That course looks AWESOME!
