The Fantastic 4 - 25/10/05
I have revealed to you the secrets of the 7 vids. Now, for your pleasure, here are the Fantastic 4. These 4 vids are in Spanish again but it doesn't matter as it is mostly action. I shall guide you through them using all the knowledge I have and making assumptions were needed. The vids themselves are not hosted here but you can find them at jeux-france.com.
If you are having trouble streaming then jsut right click and save target as the link below each clip.
This video is 46 seconds long and features the intro and most of the 1st lap. The player is Mario.
0:02 - The beginning shots, common to all tracks and arenas. First time I noticed the SMB3 blocks as part of the scenery, nice touch.
0:12 - The starting line-up. Mario is some big ole quad bike style kart. Also Waluigi can be seen next to him, 100% confirming he is unlockable.
0:17 - Peach is in a very small kart, you can hardly see the wheels.
0:20 - RAMBI Kart, WOOOOO! Tis cool.
0:25 - Wario comes beside Mario and quite an angle. He is in what looks like a tractor.
0:28 - RAMBI again, WOOOOOO!
0:40 - On this circuit you go over the bridge and then under it towards the end. Also confirmed at the start but I forgot to notice it then.
0:43 - The green shells going around Mario just show how large his kart is.
This is taken place on DK Alpine from the Star Cup. The player is DK
0:01 - Beginning shots again. Snowballs roll down the hill in the direction of the arrows, meaning you won't drive against them.
0:11 - Oh my god what is DK on. Some sort of motorbike. He doesn't look to good on it.
0:32
- Bullet Bill, excellent. Lets see what it does.
0:37 - He has used the Bullet Bill now. When used you turn into a Bullet Bill and get a massive speed boost. You increase in size and knock out everyone in your way. There is some control but it's
probably
tricky. The whole transformation lasts about 3 and a half seconds. He changes back and has jumped from 7th to 3rd.
0:43 - Something very odd happens towards the end of the vid. Mario gets a Boo and uses it, he then
disappears
from the map (cause he's now a ghost).But if you can help explain what happens with Mario and this Boo as well as the strange things seen zipping along the map it would be helpful.
This video answers a lot of questions about the shine sprite battle mode. The player is Luigi.
0:01 - Again, an overview of the course and a shine can be seen in the middle of the bottom screen.
0:06 - The timer is starts at 1 minute, which counts down. The sprite can be seen showing that they are very large and clear.
0:16 - after Luigi gets his first sprite a counter next to the player's images at the bottom tells us how many he has (room for double figures). Also 2 new sprites are now on the map.
0:22 - Luigi gets both of those and a 4th one in the top corner. Also a 5th sprite has appeared at the bottom again which is gotten by Yoshi.
0:35 - More sprites are collected, their are now 9 in total.
0:45 - Luigi uses a red shell on Waluigi causing him to loose his. But as it does not appear on the map it appears gone forever.
0:49 - A lightning bolt is used causing everyone to shrink and loose a shine (Luigi still has 4).
0:54 - Luigi gets hit by a blooper. They are going to be very annoying.
0:57 - For some reason there is a stationary red shell. Dossiply dropped from behind up someone lost it when they got hit by something.
1:06 - As the timer counts down the final 5 seconds they can be seen on the top screen.
1:10 - All of the people with 0 sprites are now out and gone from the map. Also I am pretty safe in saying that the maximum number of sprites available is 9. This would make sense cause everyone would have 1 sprite, except for one guy who would have 2. Under this logic if it was a 6 player game there would be 7 sprites. But if this is true then why the double figure counter?
1:11 - The timer now starts at 30 seconds as the 4 remaining characters duke it out.
1:19 - DK has a star, which is illustrated on the map by a star spinning around the character.
1:36 - The timer countdowns the final 5 seconds again.
1:41 - This time all of those with 1 sprite are out. I am assuming that this means that is those with the fewest number of sprites that are eliminated. This leaves Luigi & Yoshi.
1:42 - Did you see that, the sprites float across the top of the DS and stop in the middle. How odd.
2:11 - Game over, Luigi wins.
2:16 - It appears that Luigi is in some sort of tournament as DK & Toad have a win logged.
Another shine battle on a new arena this time. The player is Luigi.
0:05 - The starting line-up has the racers spread
evenly
around the cake. The middle is raised up and has speed boosts all around it (pointing upwards).
0:19 - Luigi drives up the speed boosts and goes over the top. Their are many item boxes up here and it appears that this is the only place they appear on the track.
0:27 - In the distance a sprite logo can be seen above Toad telling us that he as a sprite(s).
0:35 - Luigi gets hit and looses his 1 and only sprite.
0:45 - Luigi gets a star; lets see how long it lasts.
0:50 - While still with his star Luigi hits one of the icing blobs that splatter onto the screen.
0:52 - Star runs out. Lasted about 8 seconds.
1:08 - As time runs out Luigi is eliminated mid-air as he has no sprites. Fool. Since the only human player is gone the game ends and Toad is
declared
the winner as he had the most sprites.
Well I hope you found that all very useful, I know I did. Thanks the Jeux-France for getting those vids and allowing us to sponge off you (even though you probably don't know it).
