Excitebike Arena is so much better, though.
But it would suffer from precisely the same issues as other battle courses (to a slightly lesser degree?) and isn't nearly small enough to have items flying all up in everyone's grill. How you people can compare these courses is beyond me.

Keep bustin'
When Nintendo was just a thing I got to play at a friends house, Mario Kart was 100% about the Battle Mode. It was a huge added value since they basically snuck a deathmatch game into your racing game.

It's a bit obtuse not to get why people miss "real" battle mode stages. It's like if Halo exclusively used campaign levels for the deathmatch multiplayer.

The best thing would be if the first dead player could turn into a bomb again. I tried some MK64 recently to get some of that bomb goodness, but maaaaan it is hard to go back to like a 16 FPS racing game :/

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KidZania

quote:

Every KidZania is themed as a child-sized replica of a real city, including buildings, shops and theaters, as well as vehicles and pedestrians moving along its streets. In this city, children aged 4 through 12, work in branded activities from bottling Coca-Cola, working in a Crest-sponsored dentist office, working at a McDonalds restaurant,[1] painting with Corporação Industrial do Norte, washing hands with P&G's Safeguard soap, and using airline tickets from American Airlines, Emirates and Saudia.[2]

The children earn kidZos (KidZania's currency) while performing the tasks, and the money is kept in the KidZania bank for children to spend at the gift shop and on KidZania activities.[1] Inside every KidZania facility around the world, children wear electronic bracelets that allow parents to keep track of their kids remotely.[3]

The blending of marketing has led The Morning News to dub KidZania as "advertainment", stating "there is little that's pretend, and the play revolves around following instructions from the adult Zupervisors."[1] Children also make up the governance of KidZania, with a 14-member group.

I would honestly be shocked if he left. He's been at the company for like 20 freaking years

edit: it's not actually that much but it's close, pretty sure he was around when SF64 released.
