    Cause we all know the roads are just littered with banana peels and heat seeking turtle shells.


    Would it be so hard to just break to Need for Speed or even Gasp. GTA.


    Come on, if Kotaku can do a drunken GTA session to so don't drink, why not a txt one

    This isnt accurate at all. I appreciate what is trying to be done here, but as far as realism goes, there is very little to none.

    My chem professor has actually suggested something that is somewhat of a good idea, albeit impractical: why not force new drivers to have a manual car? that way they have to focus on shifting and getting the car to move instead of just pressing the gas pedal and it going. (now i know eventually some kids will get good enough to think they can still text, but its a much smaller portion)

    Last time I checked, the Wii wheel is a lot less responsive than an actual vehicle.


    Heck, I've been playing Mario Kart for years, and even I run into crap on the Wii-Wheel version.

    That's odd... it looks like an American Super Nintendo label on a Japanese Super Famicom cartridge... rounded, and no notches in the plastic.

    "It lays eggs and throws them, right? ...Then it must be female."


    I think technically, he 'poops' eggs. They're a direct result of him eating, right? Not of sexual activity?


    Yoshi is male.

    As far as Yoshi being male or female there are two trains of though on this:


    1) Yoshi is a male, and Birdo is Yoshi's female counterpart.

    2) Yoshi is asexual, and thus neither male nor female.


    Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but in all the eggs I've ever seen Yoshi crap out, I don't think I've ever seen him crap out another Yoshi. In Super Mario World, all baby Yoshi's were found already in eggs and you could feed them to get them bigger. If you already had a Yoshi and ran into an egg it could be a 1-Up or a Star. Granted, I never played SMW2, but I don't remember ever seeing a Yoshi come out of an egg that a Yoshi crapped out. If that's the case then I will have to say that #1 is true. If a Yoshi HAS crapped out another Yoshi then I will say #2 is true.

    I thought Yoshi was a girl. "She" lays eggs, right?

    @Gtaste8: Well seems the Yoshi survival instinct isn't particularly strong, since the majority of their egg laying is for ammunition against enemies.

    @Gtaste8: Yoshi's are asexual creatures. They do lay eggs, but they don't mate. In fact, they have no reproductive organs per se.

    @skuzemewoods: Mario doesn't need it. He has a homing car. And Luigi will be behind Mario the whole race anyone. Mario has the green shell to take out Luigi's red shell, and a banana peel to take out Bowsers.
