Why did you pick Mario Kart 64? You don't like the SNES game?

I was thinking 16, but, yeah...

But anyways, every game before the DS and Wii versions only had 16 tracks in comparison. 

Edit- We both made typos so ha! 

That's what I was going to say.

My guess is the poster never played the original Mario Kart?

Haha, so every game that features any elements from earlier iterations is an expansion? Each Mario Kart has massive behind-the-scenes overhauls and plays completely different. To completely ignore the changing mechanics, added racers, items, missions, karts, gameplay modes, and on, and on, and on, is ignorant at best, deliberately prejudiced at worst.

Also, I don't think you realize what an expansion means: more content built on the same engine. Simply by merit of being rebuilt from the ground up, none of the new Mario Karts are expansions.

And as a closing point, I'd like to note that it's only, what, 4 legacy tracks that are from Mario Kart 64? The rest are from other previous Karts. Which kind of destroys your hypothesis. It features 4 redone tracks, everything else is brand new, and it's an expansion? Huh?

"expansion" will be the new "rehash".

Good point.  He is 22 though, not like he is too young to know about it.

This thread needs to be HIT with a BLUE SPINY ShELL!

My guess is that he noticed the change in play control from SMK to MK64 but somehow failed to see the difference between MK64 and MK:DD, MK:Wii.

The older Mario Karts had 16 tracks, all of them new.

Mario Kart Wii has 32 tracks, 16 of them new, 16 of them old.  The old GC tracks are the same, but everything else had to be reworked so it wouldn't look completely out of place.

Damn, that was so long ago I forgot apparently.

Anyway, the point is MK Wii has just as many new tracks as MK64 and MKDD.  It also has the bonus of having some old tracks, too.
