We do not like the countdown on this game, MK Arcade GP, and MKDD. Is it ever possible to add voices to countdown? Example:
R "On your marks..."
RR "..."
RRR "Get set..."
BBB "GO"

I think they didn't add it because MK isn't a human-style game. others like Need For Speed (if it has voices) would because it's all humans racing. Mario kart isn't. plus MK is classic to not have voices of any meaning.

...but play Mickey's Speedway USA! Hewey/Dewey/Louie does the voices for the countdown!

I wouldn't like the Ready Set go type of start off, I'd much rather prefer the beeps in this game.

And like Cucumber said, it's not a people style game. Chances are the game is going to be a little different if you have a dinosaur racing a female monkey.

I prefer the beeps...sexy women talking could be distracting, not a beeping traffic light though

Sexy women in Mario Kart? Fat chance. Remember that Nintendo is too scared to even put voice chat in this game.

Anyways, here is the link to the countdown we prefer for 2003-Present MK games.

^ I didn't know there was a Mickey Kart Racing game.

I like the beeps more, they sound more Nintendoish, and a voice wouldn't be very appealing.

We are sharing our complaints to MK. I except voice for 2003-present MK countdowns!
R "On your marks..."
RR "..."
RRR "Get set..."
BBB "GO"

Na, I prefer the beeps. It isn't meant to be a realistic game. And people would complain about the voice, so why have it?

We want voices because it's better! Please look at the YouTube video. That is what we always want on 2003-present MK countdowns.

Lol, why do you keep saying 'we'? Is there like 2 people on your account or something?

As everybody already mentioned, voices would be a bit awkward. I'd cry if the Mii voice [strike]yelled[strike] shrieked out the countdown.

READY SET GOGOGOGOGOGO!

And everybody would be like... "Why did Nintendo kill all the voices? Why??!!"

So I think it's fine the way it is.

plus companies have used voices in tonnes of other racing games, and that would make Mario Kart just another one of them. Mikey Kart may have been trying not to copy Ninty by only using the beeps. plus, who's voice would they use, anyway? Mickey kart was all about... MICKEY! so that had micky's voice (I hope I heard right) but Mario doesn't have a good voice for something like this, so that may be a reason.

R "On your marks..."
RR "..."
RRR "Get set..."
BBB "GO"
This is what we will use if we make up MK games, like "Mario Kart '96".
