Current Events > Dear Nintendo, turn Mario Kart 9 into Double Dash 2

(+) Yeah! (+)

Also bring back the Shine Thief battle game

Please and thank you

It would be better if Mario Kart died than that.

Nintendo prefers to look forwards, not backwards. Mario Kart Triple Turbo is what we're waiting for.

Mario Kart: Triple Switch

I hope they add the 5 Broodals to MK9.

Mario Kruiser: you and 34 of your friends collectively man a space battle cruiser in a 3 lap race around star systems against 7 other 35-man teams.

I'd just take a Double Dash remaster

This has Mario Party vibes. The ones no one liked.

Both this and the topic title are

Double Dash was fuckin amazing, best in the series

Double Dash was only good for its time. Seriously, go back and play it. The driving physics is awful. I didnt realize how bad the game aged until recently.

I'd be more interested in Mario Kart 64 2, or a Mario Kart 64 remaster. 64 still holds up as the best Mario Kart today

No

Would this not be a good reason for them to keep the 2 characters 1 vehicle aspect and use it in a game with better driving physics?
I thought it was fun and I'd be down for a sequel.

Nah, since the latest Mario Kart already has dual items and kart customization. The only thing 2 characters 1 vehicle has going for it at this point is novelty unless Nintendo could find a way to do something completely new with the idea.

Can't wait for Wario Kart: Triple Trash

Well you could throw it all in at once. We had a divide between karts and bikes maybe you could choose between a single or a double vehicle. Keep bikes too.

I'm only interested if they bring back Daisy and Baby Luigi's switching quotes. "Hi I'm Daisy" is iconic from that singular game and it needs to come back and "Uh oh, Baby Weegee time" was so stupidly long that it was hilarious. If DD2 doesn't bring those back, it might as well be a single-racer kart game with its own gimmicks and identity.

lol this guy thinks they're going to make a new Mario Kart game

Why wouldn't they?

why would they make a new Mario kart game if the one they made 8 years ago is still topping charts?

Nintendo does not give a fuck

Because Mario Kart 8 still sells gangbusters even when their yearly recycled Black Friday bundle isn't even available.

Dear Nintendo, don't do this

This. Double Dash was gimmicky and a somewhat mediocre MK game. For MK9 They just need to build off of MK8 Deluxe, but add mostly new tracks, new items, and ditch the antigravity gimmick on most courses. Think they should get rid of the hang glider on most courses too. Add more Super Mario themed flavor, but make sure it feels like it is returning to the MK series roots. This way it can not only be a sequel to MK8 Deluxe but it can also be considered a alternative to it as well.

Mario Kart 9! Now with 90 players in one race!

Nintendo wouldn't do that, even on a next gen console because the devs probably wouldn't be able to handle making something that complex.

I'd love to see it. Maybe as an optional feature, where you could do all cups/tracks solo or double both online and offline.

Why do you want MK to be boring? It's not like the next installment needs antigrav and gliding specifically, but gimmicks let them do fun, unique new things. If every game played exactly the same, it'd just turn into fifa madden yearly whatevers.

Yeah, probably not. It would a fun little side mode though. Riders Republic has 64 player "mass races" and they are as chaotic as they sound, but also a lot of fun if you aren't stressed about trying to come in first.

I'm sure they will come up with some new gimmick for Mario Kart 9 though. They seem to come up with something extra with each iteration since the Wii. Wii added bikes, 7 added gliders, 8 added anti-grav.

When it comes to developing new MK problem is Nintendo just goes hard with gimmicks and makes most of the game about them instead of making the gimmicks a small, but still considerable part of the game. Not counting the new real life RC MK the series hasn't been pure in awhile and it needs to embrace it's identity once again.

Anti-grav hardly impacted the gameplay at all though. It just let you drive on walls occasionally and had branching paths branch in a more drastic way. It didn't impact the physics of driving and just allowed for some visually interesting flavor. From a gameplay perspective, it was still pretty "pure". Gliding is also a fairly minor part of the game. It takes like five seconds per track and only really changes how much items screw you over. True, not every track needs like an antigrav section or whatever, but both gimmicks are small additions to the series that could easily be added or skipped for each potential new track without really impacting the Mario Kart feel.

Yes.

Oh they absolutely have more than 90 usable characters. But that idea was more of a joke. Just something to go along with the 9 lol. I don't know if Nintendo's online could handle a lot of players in one race.

Absolutely.

Gen 1 of Pokemon alone gets you 151, and that's only the Pokemon.

Hell, any given Fire Emblem game would get you over halfway there.

But if you're just talking of the Mario series, that's still a Yes. Especially if they start pulling from the extended Marioverse, such as Donkey Kong Country and WarioWare.

Unless your playstyle heavily involves bumping in to smaller vehicles, antigrav is such an inconsequential gimmick to hate on. Looks great in videos/replays, but during gameplay, you don't even notice it unless another track/ground is in view. It's the very definition of "small, but still konsiderable part of the game".

If you pallette swap a lot and 90% of them are monsters yeah

I...uh...I prefer when Mario Kart is wacky instead of grounded, if that's what you're getting at. If we want a grounded, skill-based racing game then F-Zero needs to make a return.

What they need to do in the next Mario Kart is set it in the future, ditch the Mario characters, and call it F-Zero.

Boom. And that's not even including needless alts n babbies and whatnot. Only threw in the last 18 enemies/guests because they've been playable in the series already.

Double Dash slapped.

I will not stand for slander of it.

What was everyones favorite character item?

Bowser's Shell followed by Bob-ombs. But I used Bowser/King Boo more often than not, so that meant shells and access to most other character items.

Dear Nintendo, outsource an F-Zero game to Sega again.
