fitting to compare CTR:NF to a literal mobile game
Joshua Gray
Mobile game which is no different than the other crap they shit out
Jacob Murphy
let it die, bring in f-zero.
Zachary Adams
Turn it into Nintendo Kart.

>this desperation
kek, CTRfags absolutely seething

too furry would rather have the lazy recolour over the faggot fetish
Hudson Morgan
Laziness, I think this is just an objective fact at this point. They know consumers will eat up whatever they put out, which is why people still play their dogshit mobile game and defend their fucking horrific NES/SNES online lineup.
Levi Carter
Make MK9 more independent and stay as far away as possible from MK8
Ryan Edwards
but F-Zero died for Mario Kart...
Jace Martinez
had the same thing happen in that ice track in CTR, unless it's designed as an intentional shortcut chance are it'll count as OOB
Justin Adams
Ice is nice
William Taylor
Wow, fucking really Nintendo? If this was CTR they'd let you trick hop off the walls. Fucking lame.
Christian Hughes
Please don't. It's already bad enough here with Smash.
Logan Collins
Stats no longer tie to characters (but you can re-enable this if you wish) or vehicle parts, you just have preset stat distributions you can choose from. This is a quirk from old kart racers that is tired and needs to die, CTR benefited a lot from dropping it.

>it's always one of the most successful and not failing at all
Nathan Smith
Add in Maria Robotnik as a playable character

Jackson Jones
No can do user
Gotta come up with some way to shove some shitty gimmick into it before it can be revived
Carson Williams
No, you can. Push the limit of the system like the previous installations. Don't Give Up.
David Lee
It doesn't matter. You have plenty of options now. Sonic Transformed, SRB2 Kart, CTR:NF, Wipeout, etc.
Xavier Baker
Which ice track? It doesn't happen on Blizzard Beach or Polar Pass. Barin Ruins and Meteor Gorge don't have any spots where you can do this. Gingerbread Joyride has some fences you have to hop over on a shortcut, but you get considered out of bounds if you don't make the shortcut.
Brody Reed
compare this to youtube.com
Anthony Stewart
this, mario kart feels slow as ass even on 200cc
Nolan Gutierrez
polar pass, right at the end of the lap there's a large jump with a short brick wall to the left, if you so much as touch the top of that it counts as OOB and in some rare cases you'll fall straight through into the void.
Bentley Martin
Put it in space. Swap karts for everything.
>arwings vs fzero ships
>olimar in his spaceship
>Kirby on his star
Fuck it, just make Super Smash Racing minus all the fire emblem shit.
Serious answer is make it an rpg type game more like diddy kong racing than team sonic racing.
Christian Evans
Bring back every character, kart, part and course except the non-Mario stuff except ROB
Add more Wario, DK,Luigi and Yoshi characters/spinoff characters in general/deep cuts/retro picks
Add costumes and recolors for each racer
Benjamin Smith
>character skins (Dry Bowser and Bowser shouldn't take up two slots)
>more Mario characters outside the main group
>copy CTR's Engine switching
>might as well just include the main characters of Nintendo biggest IPs.
>make tracks based off of themes and places from other Mario games
Easton Rodriguez
Mario Kart used to allow for this sort of thing. The issue is that they don't want there to be a huge skill gap in the online playerbase like there was for 7 and Wii. Mario Kart has been slowly gearing itself towards casuals since they removed slip canceling in double dash.
Kayden Hill
You try telling that to nintendo
That's all people want but nooo, each game has to have some gimmick that makes it different from the last because gimmicks=fun

I didn't play the Wii U version of MK8, but going into the Switch version, I felt like there wasn't much of a carrot on a stick to play. Like, all the characters are there. All the tracks are there. Everything's there except some kart customizations, and that felt weirdly empty. I'm sure it's great for people who just want to jump in and play, but I dunno. There's a reason unlockables exist in games. It feels good.
Jonathan Allen
there's no such thing as "taking up slots", a character select screen in any game is completely arbitrary and always designed around how many characters there are, you don't design a CSS and then decide what characters to put in each "slot" - that would make no fucking sense.
David Brown
yeah that part, iirc they actually added that as opposed to the original. maybe they felt it ruined the pace or offered a broken benefit or something, because on most tracks you can practically sequence break or jump through setpieces to shave time off.
Alexander Lopez
That's a poor design choice with pretty much all the fences in the game. The same issue is in Gingerbread Joyride and Spyro Circuit. Basically what they did is consider the tops of fences to be OOB instead of something you can ride along. I think they did this in Papu Pyramid as well to prevent severe sequence breaking.
Justin Stewart
it sticks out like a sore thumb as there's other tracks with similar thin walls like that which you can race on, but for whatever reason that one in Polar Pass in a location that'd be ideal for a little shortcut to shave off time before the finish, it just doesn't fucking work. You have to actively avoid it, if anything. Anyhow, this is the same problem that is seen in the MK8 webm posted earlier. It's an issue in both games.
Colton Perez
Also I forgot to mention these
Give characters their own unique item abilities like in DD/Tour
More tracks from the locales of Wario/Yoshi/DK/Luigi/etc. games. There’s so much material they could use that they neglect.
Carter Sanders
Eh, true, but still, but Bowser and Dry Bowser shouldn't be two separate characters.
