Mario Kart: Delta

Mario Kart: Delta is a Mario Kart game, originally by Hybrid Co., but taken over by Fantasy Factory. The game especially focusses on new gameplay elements and new modes. The game is for Nintendo's Wii U and set to appear right after the Wii U launch in it's launch window.
== Gameplay ==
Mario Kart: Delta gives a twist to the series' usual gameplay.
Coins are more important than ever before. Before starting a Grand Prix, players get 80 coins. If the player falls into a gap, he/she will lose 5 coins. If the player got hit by an item, the opponents who used the item will steal 3 coins. Coins can also be received after winning a race; the 1st place gets 10 coins added, 2nd place gets 8 coins added, 3rd place gets 6 coins added, 4th place gets 4 coins added, 5th place gets 3 coins added, 6th place gets 2 coins added, 7th place gets 1 coin added and last place gets none. The player that has the most coins after 4 races, wins the cup. If a player doesn't have any coins at all, he/she will be elemenated.
Classic elements from past installments also return. Players can still use items by grabbing a Item Box. Racing for 1st place is less important, however, due to the new system. In VS Mode, players can select how many coins players get before starting. Gliders from Mario Kart 7 do reappear, but are less commonly used. However, kart customization and underwater racing do not reappear.
== Confirmed Characters ==
In this game, characters are seperated into 5 different weight classes again. Those are:
*Feather: The character has good handling and good off-road stats, but its speed is low.
*Light: The character is between Feather and Medium.
*Medium: The character performs well in everything, but isn't great in anything.
*Cruiser: The character is between Medium and Heavy.
*Heavy: The player has high speed, but isn't good in handling, control and has bad off-road stats.
Each character also has its personal kart that can be used by anybody.
