F-Zero Hint in Mario Kart

By Jorge Ba-oh 15.04.2008 11

A neat unlockable in the recently released Mario Kart Wii could be a hint for an upcoming F-Zero.

One of the features of completing some of the later stages of the game is a tribute to the space-aged Nintendo racer, and some have suggested gives a hint of things to come for Wii.

The following video contains spoilers:

AWSOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilieSmilie

I need Mario Kart now Smilie

I don't think it's really a hint, just a nod to another Nintendo game (althought I'm betting there'll be an F-Zero game on the Wii at some point).

wow...

Bam-Bam

lol, that guy seriously isn't very good.

its a great game, fast becoming my favourite on wii (then again, i am a mario kart fanboy so...)

Cool, I hope it does become a reality.

If it's on wii and as good as gx I'll buy f-zero for double the price if they ask me to.

Seriously though, if you ask me it's simply one of the most awesome references in a Mario Kart game evar! Smilie

I don't think it hints at anything though. You don't need a reference to see that the F-Zero series isn't dead yet.
