Mario Kart: Rush Zone! is a new Mario Kart game coming out soon. Mario Kart racers, new and old, will race against each other to win a trophy corresponding to the cup they are racing in. There are traditionally eight cups, containing four tracks to race on in each one. There are solo racing and multi-player racing, which allows you to race with a friend on one track or a whole cup. Each character has a special kart with them that is unlocked along with them. When racing, there are four classes; Easy, Medium, Hard and Advance.
Gameplay[]
Mario Kart: Rush Zone! will take in features from previous games. These include Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'s double racing feature (a separate option that requires another player; with another controller being used on Wii, through local connection on 3DS), Mario Kart: Super Circuit's option to change the number of laps in Solo racing (3, 4 or 5), Mario Kart DS's Mission Mode, Mario Kart Wii's use of Motorbikes (more info on the Karts section) and Mario Kart 3DS's gliding and underwater features. The game does not only take in previous features, though; it also has new features! This game also features underground racing sections. It also returns the use of Coins in races, and can unlock karts and some characters (more info on the Karts section and Characters section).
