That hardly seems fair Neilson. The people in the Special Olympics actually HAVE talent.

Lol. The Asphalt team should do a video showing off their fantastic driving skills, real or virtual. Neversoft staff did one for Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, I'd expect the same level of raw talent.

I've seen that post. It's where I get my leaks from.

That wall of Google translated nonsense is the bit that details the power-up items and what they do.

The names I won't pay attention to, but the description are stuff like...

"this item when used aims straight for the car in 1st position and slows it down"
"if this item hits a car it will slow them down"
"when cars are near you will have their speed slowed down"
"this item when used grants temporary immunity from other items being used on you"
"use this item to grant you a temporary speed boost"

...and so on and so forth. When you pair this up with the leaked pics....




...you can put two and two together. The "red flame icon" matches with the "icon showing the 1st position car and downward laser" meaning that's the "use this item to fire at the 1st position to slow them down". The "yellow upward arrow icon" matches with the "icon depicting car speeding past two cars" meaning thats the "use this item for temp speed boost. The "green shield icon" matches up with the "green shield on car icon" meaning thats the "item when used grants temp immunity". And so on and so forth.

And if that sounds familiar to some, it's basically Mario Kart. That's why I said Showdown Mode is Mario Kart meets Asphalt 8. Blue Shell always aims for the 1st position racer and blows them up, the Mushroom grants user speed boosts, the Green Shells grants user immunity, etc etc.

Mario kart is still a wicked game 20 odd years later heheeee

Idk, but in my opinion this is not good.
Im afraid of all kind of cheats.
And now you will newer know it was "special" booster or cheat.
I dont say a word if cheats dont exist..
