Different bikes

If they release Elastomania 2 I think they should have different bikes.
Not just the "Swap bikes"-function where the bikes appearence change. For example one bike is very elastic and one is very fast and an other one is very light. One bike is useful in one level and totally useless in an other. Well it's just an idea...

Ive thought about whether or not itd be good to have customizable bikes...I havent come to a conclusion yet...

good idea. u could still have competitions with specially customized bikes, where everyone has to use the default bike (the one abula says). but of course it would it harder to detect cheating...

I don't like this idea. Elma is about simplicity

I had a conversation on across with someone (I can't remember who) about having different bikes but with no physical differences. Just different appearances and they should make different sounds. Like one could have a big roaring engine and another could have a smaller, quieter one.
I think this could easily be released as a current version addon, but if there will be a new version then this should be in it.

you should have different characters and when u start the game you choose your character and use him/her, caus there has to be some gurls to choose from

I thought about different characters too but it wasn't a very good idea...
I thought that they would have different "personalities" wich will effect their riding. So you choose both rider and bike to get exactly what you need for that level.

EXAMPLE
Bike: Elastic
Rider: Lightweight

This combination is perfect for bouncing very high.

NO, NO, NO, NO AND NO! NO!

If you want this, make a whole other game of your own!

there could be different versions of elma:

elma 2 original - exactly the same as elma
elma 2 action - with new features, gears, tuning, riders, storyline, etc

I don't agree, not at all!!

This was just an idea I got...
I think it would change the whole Elastomania-concept
so I don't really want it either.

when you do 'crete a new player' you should decide which character you have. it would be funny to have them as real life kuskis. like you have dmd wearing his army uniform

and NJU for the girl character but they should NOT drive differently. just like choosing between the two bikes
it is ok in another game, but not elma, where there is a wr table. it would fair suck

Yea, there should be a thing to choose clothes and stuff. and skin color, mebbe. And whether the Kuski is a boy or girl.
