Topic: What do you Hope to See in a New Mario Kart Title?

@MrCarlos46 Probably, or Meta Knight or Waddle Dee. Main point being, limit the crossovers

@CaleBoi25 It’s also called Mario Kart for a reason: You can’t keep it straying too much from the Mario Kart name or too much from Mario-related things in it unless you wanna turn it into Nintendo Kart

Another scenario would end up being drop the guest characters and go back to making it Mario-only, but that seems unlikely to happen

I think guest characters are better options than powerup forms (Tanooki Mario, Metal Mario, Gold Mario, Cat Peach, Pink Gold Peach) and the abundance of babies has the potential to get a bit extreme (Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Baby Rosalina with Yoshi's Island DS leaving room open for Baby Wario and Baby DK, Baby Pink Gold Peach statue in MK8 Baby Park remake) but I would prefer more of a balance between Mario (mainline and spinoff) and guest characters than just going all in on guest characters.

So have the newcomers be something like:

• New Donk City human
• Prince Florian
• Dixie Kong (featured in Tour but would be first console debut)
• Cranky Kong
• Poochy (featured in Tour but would be first console debut)
• E. Gadd
• Vivian
• Someone from the Mario & Luigi series
• 9 Volt
• Elma
• Captain Falcon
• Fox
• Samus
• Kirby

Introduce Wonder Seeds that competely warp tracks. It could be an interesting twist

@CaleBoi25
I agree, courses that are references are great, but if every course was a reference we’d never get cool new tracks like Toad’s Factory, Coconut Mall, Mount Wario, or Waluigi Pinball.
The developers should have room to stretch their creative muscles a bit.

@Grumblevolcano If we’re trying to get someone from the Mario and Luigi series, my pick would be Connie.

Option to do 99 laps on any course.

Only major thing I would like to see is something like Crash Team Racing with the Hub World thing, the story and the collectables. I do get tired of the entries just being another kart racer with nothing special.

I want to see Mario in a kart. And tracks. Lots of ‘em. Mario Circuit and Toad’s Factory from Mario Kart Wii need to make a come back. I

@StewdaMegaManNerd along with the Wuhu tracks from 7!!

I'd rather not see a whole lot of old tracks because we were utterly inundated with them in 8D and Tour, but if I had to pick some, I'd say:

GCN Mushroom City
GCN Wario Colosseum
GCN Rainbow Road
Wii Toad's Factory
Wii U Sunshine Airport
Wii U Cloudtop Cruise
Tour Ninja Hideaway
Tour Yoshi's Island

I just want the Splatoon chars on the new one. Love them in Mk8.
