What are your hopes for Mario Kart 9?

Warioware characters
DKC characters
Mario RPG characters

I don't know why people clamor for characters from other Nintendo games so much when so many characters from the greater Mario universe haven't got love

CTR did great in this regard, it had pretty much every character you could possibly want from the entire Crash franchise. Obviously Mario Kart can't do the exact same but that doesn't mean they shouldn't try

Mario Kart but it's bumper boats

>when so many characters from the greater Mario universe haven't got love
that's because nintendo doesn't give a fuck about them, never game a fuck about them and never will give a fuck about them. enjoy baby rosalina and doctor nabbit

I'm unsure what's worse. How Nintendo drags their feet bringing back old characters their fans find memorable, or how Sega constantly Sonic Forces characters where they don't belong and brings back fan favorite characters with stipulations hamstringing future appearances."

>>Return of character specific items or karts.
Only if you mean that the karts from those games are returning. Karts being locked to specific characters is a dumb idea and goes against the advancements kart racers have gone through in the past decade.

Do what CTR did and make stats not dependent on characters or cosmetics. No more Funky Bike/Metal Mario/Roy/Wiggler ATV/whatever the fuck, any character with any vehicle type is fair game.

I just hope it has simpler tracks cause Mario Kart 8's just make me dizzy. Camera turns are so uncomfortable while playing and make it hard to follow what's going on screen.
I think Mario Kart peaked at Mario Kart Wii. I hope the next one is more like it.

I'm more of a CTRNF guy but been playing MK8 with my gf recently and I can appreciate it's a lot better to play with people of a mixed skill level

Way more characters, as someone else said stop making metal, tanooki, etc Mario their own characters and just make them skins. Definitely do not go down the awful Mario Kart Tour route. Get all the kongs in there, bring back old favourites, Mario has an abundance of characters so stop with the baby, alt skin, and koopalings filler. Add some Paper Mario characters like Vivian, go nuts. It's frustrating when the series has so many good characters to pick from and you just see the same dozen and no additional out-there picks
Tighter controls - could take a note from CTRNF a little on this, the turning can feel pretty floaty. Maybe something to make the driving skill aspect a bit more engaging
Potentially a single kart and double kart mode aka double dash, having both in one game would be great and double dash was a brilliant idea that spices things up. The Mario characters have such in-built pairings as well that it feels natural
Tons of tracks - this is the meat of the game, 48 tracks was great, go for 60
Or start with a decent amount and add more tracks, karts, and characters in as CTRNF did - that game set a new standard of free updates for a kart racer
Could have karts transform into different vehicles, planes, boats, for air and water sections as per that older Sonic racing game, combined with the double dash aspect would be cool
Add in a proper story mode, not essential but would be fun

I'm hoping for some sort of course editor, that'd be fun.

>it's a lot better to play with people of a mixed skill level
This is a strength of this series and why I disagree with people who want to raise the skill ceiling. CTR is great and all but it gets pretty tiring with how demanding it is, you either keep up your fire and do all the shortcuts or you don't get to finish. Sometimes it's to play a game where the placements are a little more chaotic and the items are far more useful.

>Putting the based Koopalings on par with the babies and metals.
Come on, man. I get that they've been misused in recent games and not everyone is a fan of them, but there's no way they're half as bad as Pink Gold Peach.

More of the same really. And the brutal public executions of everyone who wants to just turn this into Smash but with gokarts.
Every single person like this needs to die.

Draw from Mario's history and extended universe for the courses and racers.

Fun and interesting circuits and skillful shortcuts

Getting rid of the fucking vertical racing that gives me motion sickness

> has splatoon, zelda and AC characters and stages
mario kart is already dead user, they should either get rid of all the guest characters or just make it nintendo kart because this half half shit is dumb

And all of those stages are terrible.

the AC stage is alright, the zelda stage is annoying and shit. I also forgot about the f-zero and excitebike stage so there's even more crossover shit in MK now

them not being VEEEERY loosely based on Mario is not what makes them bad.

F-Zero tracks and that DK Jungle are all the absolute worst.

As long as it's nothing like that POS crash racing game it will be fun

Start branching out into lesser parts of the Donkey Kongverse
>Wario Land, Yoshi's other games, some of the one-off Mario titles, a few of the RPG's, Ware, etc.
Whatever stick is up EAD's ass, take it out. I'm truly baffled they keep passing powerups and recolors as new, exciting characters.

Just make it Nintendo Allstars Racing. Character specific powers. More point A to B races.

nah fuck you those two levels are great, but you've got me thinking now there's also those two wuhu island stages which are also not mario. So mario kart has really been dead since 7.
also fucking this, what the hell is electrodrome even supposed to be based on

R.O.B. and Kirby (and MAYBE Falcon but that’d just be a kick in the nuts to the fans who are still dying for a real F-Zero game) should be the only guests. Pac-Man makes a little bit of sense since the arcade games were a collab between Namco and Nintendo, but he should stick just to those titles. They went too far with 8’s guests and I hope something like that does not happen again in future games.

honestly speaking most of 8's new tracks were really fucking lackluster and i hope they don't waste too many retro cup slots on them, assuming 9 ends up being on the switch
sure mount wario is cool and i personally like sunshine airport, but how many people do you know that fondly remember tracks like dolphin shoals, bone dry dunes or ice ice outpost

Replace mirror mode with reverse mode
I point mode with trick style maps
Alternate outfits.

>those two levels are great
nah fuck you dude the last segment with the shitty glider thing on dk jungle is the fucking worst and it in general one of my least favorite things about mk8

Yeah I completely agree. I love Crash and CTRNF is great but I can completely appreciate that Mario Kart is the go-to fun game with friends. CTRNF can be demanding like you've said so keeping a low skill ceiling probably is preferable.

Yeah you're right - they aren't on the same level at all. I'm personally absolutely fine with the koopalings I meant more when an entire row of the roster is them when really a row of other picks could have a lot more variety in it. The koopalings only venture into filler territory because of the general lack of outside-the-box Mario character picks.

Which characters would you like to see in? An obvious one is E Gadd, how the hell is he not in

>alt costumes in the style of ctr:nf
>reverse tracks and trick-based variants of tracks like mario kart tour
>rework gliding and underwater to make them more interesting other than "oh its on land but slower" and "the game's playing itself"
>draw on more obscure characters for a more expansive roster like ctr:nf did
>mission mode
Done

Tatanga and any random enemies from Super Mario Land.

> still being this optimistic about nintendo doing anything with the expanded mario universe
You'll play as pink gold doctor peach and you'll like it

E. Gadd and Kamek are musts, Hammer Bro got out of the scrapped lineup so there’s no reason they shouldn’t follow suit. Petey should come back as well. As for new characters, I would like to see Nabbit, Cappy, the Broodals and Hellen Gravely.

>stop adding babies
No
Metal, Power ups/Alts can go though

Bring back Diddy, Funky, and add Dixie. Maybe Kranky.

If they can bring in Link, Villager, Isabelle, and Splatoon, and give F Zero a shout by the way of a kart and some tracks, I see no reason why Kirby hasn’t been in a Mario Kart game yet.

Pauline

Bring in the same default Villager design from a Smash

And though I like Link in MK. Change him to either Toon Link or Young Link

>don't know why people clamor for characters from other Nintendo games so much when so many characters from the greater Mario universe haven't got love

Because you have a set of Nintendo fans who for some reason want generic enemies over actual characters

I want all of them back. I finally got my hammer bro and I won’t give him up

what's the difference between wanting Samus instead of some random Kong or Captain Syrup? They're just as related to Mario.

You answered your own question.
>What does a character who only appears with Mario In Smash and one off-hand cameo have to do with characters who do interact with said character that interacts with the protagonists of the series those characters appear in?

that makes no sense. Samus and captain Syrup are equally unrelated to Mario.

>One has connections to Wario who has very strong connections with Mario
>The other only shows up with Mario when it's time for Sakurai to cry and moan about doing Smash again
Just say you want Smash Kart and keep it moving.

>>One has connections to Wario who has very strong connections with Mario
in other words, no connection to Mario. Exactly.

>Make the physics more fun, MK8 is sterile as shit
>Make items more distinct
>actually give a fuck about which characters get in the roster
>more content and modes
>more options for Versus, why the fuck is there still no option for friendly fire

Can't be honest with your desires, can you?

Ok. Guess I'll ask for Ashley in Mario Kart then. She's super related to Mario after all.

Well she's tied to a series starring a character who does have connections to Mario, so yes, she is related. Why can't you just say you want Smash Kart, are you really saving this much face? I like how you didn't try to refute my statement with Syrup after I posted a game that directly links her with Mario, even down to the title.

Just make it a Nintendo crossover desu, they were practically already doing it in MK9, so fuck it

Captain Syrup stole Peach's statue and Mario had to get it back, and Captain Syrup is the main rival to Mario's enemy Wario.

Mona would be better.

These, why was this even a debate?

An F-Zero game instead.
