Peach's kart does not chages color depending on the character!!!!!!
I'M MAD. Everytime if I add the fact that a orange kart is in the game wich is similiar to the Birthday Girl, it's removed. The the "not-fact" that the Birthday Girl changes color is added. TAHT'S UNTRUE. Metal Mario is seen driving it. It was pink. Yoshi was seen driving it. It was pink. So, WHAT? That orange kart is seen driven by Daisy. It's not the Birthday Girl. ~ Qyzxf (talk)
Track names
So for some tracks we now have two or three different names for the courses, Japanese translation, European, and North American. Which one are we suppose to use? For instance....when the Star Cup was first revealed the first course was called Piranha Slider. ONM in Europe is calling in Piranha Plant Pipeway, while videos from the LA Auto Show show it as Piranha Plant Slide....so what are we going to do in cases like these? --SinnohMasterGalaxy 10:41, 19 November 2011 (EST)
- Our naming conventions would be to go with whatever English translation is released first worldwide I believe. Bop1996 (Talk)
- But doesn't that make it messy? Nintendo Power in North America called it Cheep Cheep Lagoon before ONM called it Cheep Cheep Cape. It doesn't really make sense to use names from various translations. --SinnohMasterGalaxy 10:50, 19 November 2011 (EST)
I agree with SinnohMasterGalaxy. Names like Wuhu Island Loop do not make sense. The Wuhu Island is the flipping island! So why call the other one "Wuhu Mountain Loop"?!? User:YoshiKart7
I mean, gees... You might just as well call Coconut Mall by it's european name, "Coconut Promenade/Marketplace" or call Mushroom Gorge by it's european name, "Mushroom Cliff" or even call Rainbow Road by it's European name, "Rainbow Boulevard/Track"!! User:YoshiKart7
AN ARTICLE MUST BE MADE FOR WUHU ISLAND.

Please don't type with caps,also why cross out the other comments?. Donaldthescotishtwin
- @YoshiKart7 Where did you get those strange names? I'm European and never heard of them. They doesn't exist. And, all articles have the European names (Karts in MKW, DK's Snowboard Cross) ~ Qyzxf (talk)
@Toad'ShyGuy Those strange names are real. However, they are not used in the English version, but they are used in the German version. I did some research and I found out that some track names of Mario Kart 7 are indeed different between the European/Australian version and the American version. Because of the rules, we need to use the European/Australian names. Here is a list of course names with different names (EU fist, US second):
- Cheep Cheep Cape = Cheep Cheep Lagoon
- Wuhu Island Loop = Wuhu Loop
- Melody Motorway = Music Park
There are probabley a little more course names that may differ from between the versions, however I haven't found enough source.
Here is some footage of the Leaf Cup (US version), but this video also shows a bit of the menu, with US track names.

- What do you mean by rules we have to use the EU/AU names? I just think it actually makes more sense to go with the NA names since they are the same as the Japanese ones. Not to mention all of the NA track names are known now and I don't believe that the EU/AU have all their tracks named yet. --SinnohMasterGalaxy 00:40, 22 November 2011 (EST)
- It's simple. If the game is released first in Europe, we use European names. But if the game released first in North America, we use North American names. Because this game will be released in Europe before America, we use European names. Those are the rules. Even though the American names are mostly the same as the Japanese ones, this isn't a reason to use the American names instead. For example, Art Style: PiCTOBiTS (NA name) is called Art Style: PiCOPiCT in Japan, but it's also called Art Style: PiCOPiCT in Europe. But because it released in America before Europe, we still use the American name, even though the Japanese name is the same as the European name. I would also like to point out that not all the car parts have been revealed yet. Not all the car parts can be confirmed before the release, but some parts probably have different names in Europe as well. If the is game released in Europe, we can more easily add those car parts to MarioWiki, because we don't have to wait for the American name to be revealed. rend (talk) (edits)
- Thanks for clarification. I wasn't sure if you meant the game being released first or the names. --SinnohMasterGalaxy 11:25, 22 November 2011 (EST)

No Single Player VS?
I know what you're gonna say, "Save it for the forum," but that's one thing I ain't standing for! Are you sure that's true?KoopaKiller13 21:15, 21 November 2011 (EST)
- It's true. It's even on the North American website. rend (talk) (edits)
- The phase "save it for the forums" is not an insult or that we don't answer the questions like that, it encourages you to post in the forum's thread instead. The comments like your one doesn't belong on the article's talk. SWFlash
- Save it for the forum is indeed not an insult. Many people make mistakes on what belongs on the talk page and what on the forum. However, I think this question may be asked on the talk page (I may be wrong though). Basically, KoopaKiller13 asked for confirmation of information written on this wiki. It's a question about the hard facts. I don't see any reason why this can't be on the talk. But, it is indeed confirmed VS. is multiplayer only. rend (talk) (edits)
