Goals

1. Complete the template {{Racecourses}} with links to all the race courses, including battle courses
2. Create articles for each course, describing the following:
   1. Game(s) it's in
   2. Description
   3. Layout
   4. Shortcut(s) (if necessary)
3. Add as much information as possible for the game pages.
   1. Mario Kart DS needs info on the other modes and Wi-Fi info
4. Mario Kart: Double Dash!! includes 21 karts with statistics of speed, acceleration and weight. Though not as diverse as the 36 karts in Mario Kart DS, another table needs to be created with those stats.
5. Make articles for cups like the Mushroom Cup or Flower Cup and also tell which race track is in which cup and which game.
6. Add Category: Race Courses & Category: Places to each and every race course.
7. Bonus Goal: Mario Kart Arcade GP. Game and courses.
8. Bonus Goal: Find as many images as possible, especially to explain shortcuts.
9. Bonus Goal: Make a seperate category for the battle courses only.
10. Expand the article of the upcoming Mario Kart Wii game.
11. Bonus Goal: Mario Kart Arcade GP 2. Game and courses.

Exemplar Articles

File:Plus sign.png Mario Kart (series)

The most common course in the series, this article gives a concise description and layout for each of the seven games, even Arcade GP and Arcade GP 2.

Structure

Reminder: Please italicize game titles!

After each article on a course, following the guidelines in goals, please add {{racecourses}} to add the template (completed) in addition to [[Category: Race Courses]] + [[Category: Places]]. [[Category: Battle Courses]] is a sub-category of Race Courses, even though both types are included in the same template.

Userbox

Mario Kart's Userbox Tower
This user is part of the Mario Kart PipeProject.

Adding this userbox is entirely optional.

There may or may not be an update to the left-hand box to include a more interesting image instead of text. For now, however, the code is:
{{userbox|border=red|mainbkgd=red|codebkgd=#FFF9F9|codecolor=#110077|code=[[Image:MKDS art small.jpg]]|msg=<span style="color:f9f9f9">This user is part of the '''[[PipeProject:Mario Kart|Mario Kart PipeProject]]'''.</span>}}

Be sure to add {{userboxtop}} and {{userboxbottom}} if this is your first time using a Userbox Tower.
