I'm confused.  A "Mario-Kart-like" game already exists!  That's what "TuxKart" is.

   http://tuxkart.sourceforge.net

...I released it a month or so ago...it's practically finished.

I havn't played that. What's it like?

> ...but a mario type game would be neet,

Well:

   MarioKart      ==>  TuxKart    http://tuxkart.sourceforge.net
   Mario64        ==>  TuxAQFH    http://tuxaqfh.sourceforge.net
   SuperMarioBros ==>  SuperTux   http://www.newbreedsoftware.com/supertux

...MarioGolf - well, my Son (Oliver) has been interested in a 3D minigolf game (starring
Tux of course) for some time - and he has actually started to build some simple holes
for experimentation using the TuxAQFH kernel as a starting point...I think it will be
a *simple* thing to do - not too much artwork needed - so I may attack that sometime
later in the year.

...MarioParty - that's something I'd like to do - but you'd need dozens and dozens
of programmers and artists to pull that one off...I don't think that's something
I'll do anytime soon.

"Major Damage" is a game I'd like to do...if I can get permission to use their artwork.
Klutzy Superhero's are rather nice to work with.

Yes - I don't think textures are too serious a problem...it's mainly appropriate 3D
models and music that we are short of.
