I'm wondering if its going to be a prequel or take place after the events of the Mario Movie. If prequel we could see Cranky as the original DK with the modern one as DK jr. If it takes place after, then maybe DK goes on a journey retrieve his Bananas from the Kremlings(Or Voidco depending on how far off it is).
I want the ability to connect any track together in Vs mode. Instead of being restricted to the surrounding area of a track, imagine having the ability to race from Bowser's Castle to Dino Dino jungle or Mario bros. Circuit to Boo Cinema?
I'm confused as to what this means in terms of a prequel. If Diddy,Dixie and Cranky are there than how old would they technically be now when Pauline's grown up?
I'm hoping to see boss fights and how they'll work in the game. Will it just take one hit, or will you have to hit them multiple times with your punch.
Honestly, I just want more characters that debuted on the Switch like Cappy. such Poplin and Florian from Wonder, The Theets from Showtime, ANY of the inhabitants from Odyssey. Heck since they like using enemies why not have something like Uproot or the Broodals, The Sour bunch, or the Ghosts from the Last Resort?
I really hated how this game went under the radar. It basically fixed the issues of the first game and expanded on the universe rather than completely resetting it.
I think the theme park Idea could work. But it probably would be inspired around the entirety of Epic Universe or Disney World's 4 parks. There's so many things they can do in that setting like having the final area be a haunted house attraction that's basically the Haunted Mansion which in a way would give the title "Luigi's Mansion" some relevance again. It could also help improve the ghost variety that was lacking in 3 as they could go for a Epic Mickey approach and have them use things like special effects, puppets and Attractions to spice up up combat.
Its definitely going to be a Mario title. But I think they might with 3D Mario first with Mario Kart being the holiday title as I doubt everyone is going to jump immediately to the next console and that a single-player game could help showcase the power of the system.
My only concern with this game so far is the pacing. I hope is isn't too slow like Dream Team and retains the fast-forward button from Paper Jam(or in the very least a skip button).

Re: Japanese Charts: Donkey Kong Bananza Sells A Bunch, But Can't Beat Mario Kart
Well it is Mario Kart we're talking about here. Neither Breath of the Wild or Odyssey had been able to beat 8 Deluxe(A Wii U port mind you).
