What do (You) want to see in the next Mario Kart?

What do (You) want to see in the next Mario Kart?

A course based on Sarasaland

Roy, Marth, Robin and Lucina are long overdue.

More tracks.
I don't care about characters as long as Toad is in. But I want more than just 4 new and 4 retro.
The DLC in 8 was a step in the right direction, but I want the base game to have more.

Also more modes than just Grand Prix, Time Trial, and versus/online.

it being a little fun spinoff game of the mario series, given that the main titles are nicely represented,
instead of it somehow being the only mario game series that isnt shit now, and just for being a baseline normal game

I want Battle mode back

No.

its MARIO kart, not nintendo kart

-Double Dash partner mechanics and characters from the game
-n64 battle mode with battle mode specific maps
-more retro tracks
-more NES tracks

Actual effort.

The 7 Koopalings not fucking clogging up the roster.

All characters from previous games, get rid of the coin items and return of a lot of other fun items (MK8 felt lacking), more courses than ever before. Mario Kart 8 shouldn't have the same or even less content than the DS game did (I say less since Mission mode was a thing). Also they should fucking fix Battle Mode, it was perfect in the older games.

I thought the Koopalings were a nice addition and there's far worse choices in MK8 in the roster than the Koopalings.

All I really want is my Petey back.

DLC needs to be free. The tracks at least.

No Baby Characters.
No kooplings.

Replace these with good characters.
Apart from that, just new tracks, the last Mario Kart was brilliant.

a mach rider stage

Blood.

I just want Bowser Jr. and Diddy in. Seriously, how the fuck could you forget to add the most famous vehicle user in the series and the character who had his own fucking racing game?

which is why Zelda and Animal Crossing are in there....

300cc
not even joking, i just wanna go fast damnit

I just want the third DLC pack.

WHERE THE FUCK IS IT NINTENDO!?

ASHLEY ASHLEY
ASHLEY!!!!!!!

They'll probably just port 8 to NX and release packs 3 & 4.

One pack will probably be Splatoon themed.

That's actually the best Roster I could reasonable imagine a mario kart game having. I would always add fawful, but I did say REASONABLE, after all.

Peach taking Rosalina along for a ride and then doing lewd things to her in her vehicle, ignoring the entire race, hiding out somewhere and basically overwhelming Rosalina until she's mindbroken.

R.O.B. would be cool to have again too.

>Splatoon and Pokemon add-ons are on-disc, along with the other two DLCs, in MK8 NX
>rebranded as Nintendo Kart

This and about 100% less babies

Tracks based off:
>Subcon
>Sarasaland
>Yoshi's Island Castles
>Painting-like level from NSMBU

Just spread around these gorgeous tracks to the lesser-used parts of the Mario 'verse.

No they aren't if anything it's the fucking babies and gold characters that are doing it. You only need baby Mario and maybe baby Luigi

The Koopalings probably prevented Bowser Jr from getting in, and the guy who spends most of his time nowadays in machines definitely deserved to get in more than the all the koopalings combined.

Pikachu
Baby Pikachu
Pichu
Shiny Golden Pichu
Scuttlebug

Same or better physics, and continued excellent track design. MK8 is a league above every other entry in the series for these. As a hardcore racing game fan, it's the only MK game I could really get into since MK64 in my youth. More 200cc goodness and more nuanced engine simulation, please!

They better be careful with the item balance, MK8 isn't perfect but it's actually enjoyable and not overpowered for either the leader or the pack. Keep coins, but remove them from item boxes.

More options (eg. number of laps), and give up on keeping out characters from other series, because they already did Link and the Animal Crossing characters.

>Cut the Koopalings
>cut all babies that aren't Mario or Luigi, there are significantly better options when it comes to superlightweights like E. Gadd, Kamek or someone from Paper Mario
>add Captain Syrup
>revive Paratroopa, Dry Bones and King Boo
>Inkling DLC
In the end I won't really care so long as Toadette is in the game. The Koopalings were a mistake though.

>cut the Koopalings
>force in Shittoon

Worst taste in the entire thread

It'd be cool if they threw in some Warioware characters and generally diversified roster.

I also think, since they stuck Link and Villager and his Dog Friend (who I typically use), they should hide Captain Falcon in there as cool unlockable character for achieving some bizarre goal.

>"Let's keep the 7 throwaway bosses no one gave a shit about until Nintendo decided to force them over 1 or 2 characters from Nintendo's newest IP"

Racing on Uchin Underpass would be fun as fuck, especially if there was a Turf War in progress in the background.

...

Mario Kart 8 is great and I would only make a few changes to make it the perfect MK experience

>Better cast.
Babies are fine if they increase the roster size significantly but they make up too much of the MK8 roster

>Better Battle Mode.
MK8 is seriously the worst battle mode.
Just port the Double Dash maps and modes, they were perfect.

>Items need to be reworked
Coins only stack up to 5 instead of 10, remove 2 Coin item
Add the trap block item
Make bananas less common for people in 2nd through 4th place
BRING BACK SPECIAL ITEMS
Remove boomerang, it is seriously garbage
Let people pick up new items while they have a Piranha plant active

They should bring back an option for a double-dash racing style too.

Funky + Bowser Bike
Diddy too

At least should have had Baby Wario if they were going overboard with babies

I want Waluigi to be medium weight again.

Why is he even heavy in the first place?

He was in mid-heavy with Rosalina and Roy

Weight classes in Mario Kart are determined by height now, not mass.

Online Death Race

Dedicated battle courses

>wanting to cut 7 characters that all add weight-class variety for the sake of 2 you just happen to really like

ok

A Mode 7 course in tribute to the SNES version

Would everyone be okay with this roster, assuming the next game is on a handheld system?

As long as koopa trooper is in it then I don't mind.

a roster that isn't shit

Just do Superstar Baseball roster.

The Koopalings are all too similar

Honestly I think they're going to slowly phase out of Mario Kart and repurpose it to focus on Nintendo as a whole.

May not fully work out depending on whether or not companies like Gamefreak/TPC allow that kind of crossover, but the MK8 DLCs prove the concept to be reasonably possible with their EAD IPs.

>No babies/Koopalings/metals/Lakitu
>Old battle mode back

God the rooster was shit

Why is everyone against the Koopalings? I though everyone hated Bowser Jr. and wanted them back over him?

You could replace the Pinata guy with E. Gadd or Birdo and it'd be perfect.

the koopalings are the best thing. They're all part of the core game cast. Giving up Bowser Jr. for all of them is a worthy trade off.

The alt character versions are the problem.

What's wrong with Lakitu? And I like the Koopalings. At least keep Roy and Ludwig.

>Callie and Marie in MK8
I want it

Because people had an inflated sense of what the Koopalings were at one point. Now that they're back people realize there was never anything special or interesting about them in the first place.

He's a big guy

Replace Spike with Diddy or Birdo, then it's great

>Replace a heavy character with a light or medium character
Terrible idea.

>Giving up the kid who spends more time in a car than any other character and six other possible character slots for 7 throwback nobodies is a worthy trade.

Also, 'core game cast'? Kek

It just looks weird seeing him without his cloud. Also I hate his voice

...

I wanted one new character in each weight class.
Also, people actually like Birdo?

Needs Diddy, Birdo, and E. Gadd. Then it'd be perfect.

>Honestly I think they're going to slowly phase out of Mario Kart and repurpose it to focus on Nintendo as a whole.

I doubt it. Mario Kart's team has little interest in secondary/unpopular franchises. Note how even as far as Mario goes they quickly abandon old characters and prefer stuff like Baby and Metal Mario to them. When you look at the DLC characters, you get Zelda and Animal Crossing, two extremely popular franchises. The DLC tracks are a bit more variable, including Excite Bike and F-Zero, but I really doubt the Mario kart staff has any interest in being expect to include a bunch of obscure characters in their games.

She's better than generic green dinosaur 492

Baby Pikachu is Pichu

I'd be happy if it became Smash Kart so C Falcon can race once again

Keep the Koopalings, drop the alt characters versions and bring back Diddy, Jr, Petey, and King Boo.

Levitate battle mode to DD heights. So have actual staged for baloon and coin. Bring back bomb and shine sprite (I understand the concept of thise modes doesn't work with so many players but just make them 4 player max then). Another new battle mode would'nt hurt either.

The koopalings have more differences in design to bowser ( Jr did just take Bowser's baby design afterall), and they're all classic mario bosses with several appearances.

I'd prefer having all 8, but if 7 bowser kids is the max then Jr definitly isnt worth it against them. They fit in the slots fine if you avoidalt character versions, get rid of thise and there's room for all the other decent chatmracyers people want. Short of Link they're easilly the best newcomers to Mario Kart.

>the koopalings are the best thing. They're all part of the core game cast. Giving up Bowser Jr. for all of them is a worthy trade off.
The issue isn't "giving up Bowser Jr." It's giving up 7 other characters for them in the same game where we also lost people like Diddy and King Boo.

Yeah, no it isn't. Your knocking off an ACTUAL core Mario character for 7 crayon-colored bosses who are too alike to each other to be worth putting them in and no in-game personalities. Nice try.

take out babies and costumes for them.

Just as Bowser Jr had done to them. Turnabout is fair play.

I expect them to keep the anti-gravity in it, since otherwise they won't be able to have (most) MK8 tracks as retro tracks.
Have the main game be just Mario characters, and the potential DLC be crossovers with other Nintendo franchises, just like how it was done in MK8.
I don't really mind having Metal Mario and Pink Gold Peach, but it'd be better to instead have a Metal Mushroom item instead.
Either add battle-mode exclusive arenas (since normal tracks don't work for it), or just remove it altogether and have more racing tracks than the usual MK games. Don't half ass it like in MK8.

a fucking rainbow cup

and the return of the all cup tour.

>baby characters
>tanuki characters
>metal characters
>koopalings
I want them gone

also make every character equally shitty so I don't have to see 20 Roys

Holy shit, are you seriously still on about that? Are you autistic?

Don't shit on my nigga Baby Mario.

by that logic Jr's discualified for what he did to them and being a copy of Baby Bowser.

"Too alike to eac other" is a decent criticism but the'res also four plumbers and three princesses, not counting the babies and metals and dry bowser.

I's agree drop them in favor of more DK and non Mario characters but they easilly top this game's newcomers from Mario itself.

But Bowser Jr never did that to them. When Bowser Jr appeared it had been years since they had been used in any Mario game.

I loved mk8, only thing that woudlve made it perfect are Anti aliasing, a better roster, and real battle mode.

Heck, Mario Party had those multi colored "Koopa Kids" rather than just using the Koopalings.

It's not just apperance, it's niche. Bowser Junior is a prince-- the only prince in the series that occurs regularly, and Bowser's only son, and the only major tech user who regularly shows up. The koopalings always fight the same way, are grouped together, and occupy a niche that's essentially 'another one of Bowser's minions'.

Koopa Royalty isn't really that well explored in this series. I've never heard of people liking Jr because he's a prince, whereas being a princess or equivalent of one is brought up all the time for Peach and Rosalina.

He does make for a more distinctive boss do to tool using yes, but in Mario Kart this would just get brought up as a car or item everyone has acess to.

Unless they beought Supers from DD back, which is doubtful.

> you've never heard of
Well you're hearing it now. And it's definetly been brought up, from Smash Bros to Sluggers to Mario & Luigi

I just want my Metroid course and Samus Aran as a playable character. Captain Falcon too.

Waluigi gets reclassified as a Skinny weight character. This means that he can use heavy and lightweight karts, but not midweight karts. When using a heavy kart he counts as light, and when using a light he counts as heavy. This class could be expanded to include Iggy Koopa or say Lanky Kong.

A Fat Karter type is probably unnecessary, but could complement it. Thwimp for instance could be made into a karter.

shy

Actually scratch that. Just make Size and Weight differing classes.

Yoshi - Midsize Lightweight
Waluigi - Largesize Lightweight
Wario - Midsize Heavyweight
Donkey Kong - Largesize Midweight

and so on.

>Replace that purple star thing whatever the fuck it is with ROB
>make the kooplings into skins
>add funky kong

There. Perfect list

Shiny turquoise platinum baby tanooki mario and Sonic

Also Magikoopa

>make the kooplings into skins
Anyone who suggests this should be put into special education immediately.
