Topic: Mario Kart World

@WaveBoy The feather was brought back in 8 Deluxe, but is restricted to Battle Mode. I wish it was in World too as it is the worst item in Mario Kart history LOL.

@Nintoz
It's easy to lose sight of the fact that the game (and the Switch 2) have only been out for a whopping 6 months.

And if you look back, they've actually modified this game quite a lot already: constant rejiggering of the online course selection fiasco, added map markers for the collectibles in free roam (that was HUGE at launch), completely changed the way trick boosting works (which threw course records into chaos at the time), added entire new rulesets, modified entire course routes (crazy when you think about it), etc.

They've done a lot. I think they're close to have a good baseline of tweaks before they start adding the stuff we're all expecting: new characters, new courses, new modes, maybe even new parts of the world.

Yeah, no doubt Nintendo will continue to improve this game for the foreseeable future. It will keep growing and improving unlike something like Kirby Air Riders. They clearly want this to be the best it can be even when it wasn’t at first. It fits Nintendo’s plan to keep supporting evergreen games like I think President Furukawa mentioned.

I fully expect an in-game music player (before the soundtrack comes to Nintendo Music) as well as 200cc. I’m not hopeful for significant DLC to be free considering what they pulled with DK, but it might not be for another couple of years anyway. Maybe things like costumes and characters can be in big, free updates.

@tux_peng I agree 100%.

A "World" knockout tour would be insanely good. Or even a 20-track race with 1 player eliminated per track, then leaving the final 4 to race it out on the final track.

Knockout tour online is THE best mode for this game, I can't stop playing it, it's just so much fun and makes me laugh. The other day I was 1st place for almost an entire track, then I was about 2-inches away from the finish line and someone ran me over using a giant mushroom and stole it from me lol it was so funny.

I don't know about anyone else but I'd like the ability to choose which weapon to use when I have two items, and as for DLC maybe they could add a Moon track from Odyssey, no need to expand the island, lets go a space and even subterranean

Heck, they could do a "Mario Kart World + Nintendo World" expansion that adds more islands with tracks from other IP's, like Link/Zelda and Hyrule Island, or Samus and racing around a space ship etc.

One easy thing to incorporate that I think would make for a really fun mode would be some kind of food delivery game where you have to deliver a certain type of food to an NPC/another 'Yoshi's' outlet marked on the map as quickly as possible.

With all the different food types and routes available it would be highly replayable and would be even better if multiplayer was an option.

It's such an simple inclusion I feel like shouting it from the rooftops hoping that someone at Nintendo HQ will hear me and be like "Hm yeah, that's pretty cool. It'll be in by next week!" Lmao

@Nintoz They could include a lot of great features in to this game, though the one that would probably work the best has to be a "Free Roam" online race mode, perhaps where there's no set track, just checkpoints scattered throughout the "world", allow players to go through in any order, any way they like, first one to get all checkpoints wins. They definitely need to do something with the open world element of the game, has so much potential, but P-switches and Medallion collecting is a bit boring and a waste of what is probably the games greatest feature.

@Nintoz I'd love that actually. Your idea sort of reminds me of Crazy Taxi where you're taking people to certain spots on the map. I could see myself playing that mode quite a bit, lol.

How many P Switch Missions have you all done? I'm on 323. Letting us see the name of the background music now has been a good incentive to get back to them!

@D-Star92 I think making Crazy Taxi gameplay is difficult legally because of some patents SEGA made around the game, I remember they sued EA over Simpson's Road Rage due to this :-/

Thanks to another website with extensive tracking, I did all the P Switches and other collectibles way back in August, BEFORE the update with collectible tracking. It's hard to look back and believe that I already did all of that...

@Suketoudara
I'm approaching the 300s... I never actually intended on getting them all, but now it actually seems achievable lol

@Suketoudara Ah, gotcha... didn't know Sega sued EA over that gameplay. I've done 393 P-switch missions as of this post.
