Mario Kart Arcade GP DX: Difference between revisions

Grand Prix, National Battle, and multi-player modes are featured in the game. Unlike the other two ''Arcade GP'' releases, Time Trial is not present in the game. First the player chooses a character. Then the player can choose between seven karts, five of them being unlockable. Before starting a race, the player can take their photography and decorate it with twelve included features, such as a samurai helmet and a pirate suit. On some cases, [[:File:Arcade_GP_DX_4_Player_Results.JPG|the camera cannot be used, in which the player's photography is their selected character's portrait]]. The arcade operator can set whether the camera should be used or not. The player can choose to play in 50cc, 100cc and 150cc, with the latter two being unlockable. The player then must choose which one of three themed tracks (Toad, Mario, Don-chan) they want to play. Like ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', there are only six racers in each race rather than eight or twelve, with the exception of playing Versus with 2-4 players or Team Battle with 4 players; where there are four racers. Unlike the other two ''Arcade GP'' games, the goal of Grand Prix is to finish each race in 3rd or better. Every circuit has a time limit of 250 seconds, and when the player is at first place their photography has a crown. When the player completes a lap, lights between the game screen change color. The main feature of the game is that players can now play in cooperative (with 2 players) or in teams (with 4 players), similar to ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]'' in that a player is the driver and the second shoots items. Cooperative or team play allows the player to gain a special power-up which transforms the player's kart into a [[Fusion Kart]] that will drive and the second player is called to control the turret and shoot unlimited amounts of [[Green Shell]]s at any direction for a limited period of time.<ref>[https://kotaku.com/5984479/in-this-new-mario-kart-you-can-drive-a-tank Kotaku - In This New Mario Kart, You Can Drive a Tank]</ref> Fusion Karts also have [[Health Meter|health bars]] when playing in Team Mode with 4 players. Additionally, gameplay elements from ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' such as the use of gliders and [[Underwater driving|underwater courses]] are present.
