mario kart world has been out for nearly three weeks (wow!) so here are some things i either specifically like or specifically dislike about the game:

like:
standard kart
- the best standard kart design in the series. colourful and fun to look at
koopa troopa beach - i like the vibes and the music and the water jets. making it so there's a 24/7 beach party here is great. also people usually dislike simpler tracks but i maintain that they are essential to a well-rounded and evergreen track selection.
the costumes - there's so many and they're all good and i like playing dress-up without the game also asking me to decide how big my character's nose is.
coins - imo the problem with coins in mk8 wasn't that they were items but that they were boring items. the coin block and shell both solve this problem in their own ways. periodically the track will suddenly just be showered with coins and it's always fun to try and get as many as you can.
point-to-point races - i like the scenery and driving across the whole world. the final lap around the course you've been driving to becomes a make-or-break situation and it's exhilarating. The courses aren't tracks that have had an open world built around them, they're locations in the world itself, it's all one unified place. It's not "Mario Kart: World", it's "Mario Kart World".
the new peach beach - the game has two beach tracks and they're both bangers. racing through the town itself is great and it's one of my favourite tracks.
water racing - it's fun and i like doing tricks :)) much more interesting than underwater racing imo
the trains - this game has a functioning railway system that you can ride on and that makes me so happy
random ledges - sometimes in free roam you'll just find a random ledge or something where you can hang out and it's just your secret little spot.

#

dislike:
kart selection
- i know there's 40 but a lot of them are either very similar to other karts, returning from previous games or just not very interesting to look at. in free updates i would like more original karts.
lakitu - there are some areas in the open world where lakitu will come and pick you up and that makes me sad :((
not enough swimwear - you're telling me only three characters get swimwear outfits? let wario wear his swimming trunks goddamnit
unable to commit vehicular manslaughter - bouncing into the air when you drive at 100mph into a toad is fun but i would have really liked to be able to just flatten the bastards
waluigi - I hate this gangly, writhing mass of limbs. I hate how he can't even sit on a bike properly because his legs are too long so instead he just attaches himself to it like a cellar spider. Remove him from the game immediately and add Young Pauline in his place.

and those are my thoughts on mario kart world :))

#

Lakitu is way too strict while racing.

craggy breach
#

yeah better hope you don't slightly graze the out of bounds area while trying to do a cool shortcut or god help you

#

at least they brought the lakitu boost back but losing all your items is crazy work

red vortex
#

oh yeah losing all your items after getting picked up always stings too

#

especially if you just passed a set of item boxes

polar bobcat
#

lakitu is way more strict when choosing when to pick you up

#

but he is also way better when choosing where to bring you back in races

red vortex
#

i think that's true on the courses but if you're racing between courses then he's actually pretty lenient

#

generally if you're not falling off the course or haven't gone beyond those yellow barriers you're safe

vapid pebble
cobalt holly
#

lakitu is better in world than he is in 8 because he doesn't take ten thousand years to put you back on the course

#

and also when he drops you you can press A when landing for a speed boost like in mario kart wii

alpine sand
#

i got 86/129

re:Lakitu
Voiding out instead of going all the way down and him carrying you all the way up is an improvement. It is less "checkpoint" shenanigans than especially the atrocity that was the MK8 BCP. But I do agree that it is way too strict, especially also in Free Roam. Sometimes I think there's an alternate path and then Lakitu slaps me in the face. That's fine and can get played around as we play the game more.

I really like however that you lose all items. I feel like MKWii punished you too much for even getting hit, and MK8 punished you way too little. This is a nice balance that is usually on your own gameplay.

#

after hearing so much more of the MKW soundtrack

#

yes

#

its absolutely worth every euro I paid for it

#

hi my name is andi and soundtracks are usually what make or break a game for me

noble spade
#

the new update changed online lobbies so that choosing the random option now gives you an intermission course instead of letting you play a 3 lap race.
nintendo doing what they do best: forcing you to play in a specific way

steel mirage
#

wtf

trail gorge
#

wtf

steel mirage
#

Intermissions are great, but I really still prefer 3-laps lol

#

I love them for GP and KO Tour specifically but god damn

#

VS Race is VS Race!

trail gorge
#

according to reddit you can still get 3 lap courses from random

steel mirage
#

For me it's moreso the problem of:
Choosing, for example, Toad's Factory. You pretty much race 3 laps worth on moreso a straight and then you get like one lap of Toad's Factory, which feels like just a fraction of the entire race, when it should be more of it imo

#

So by the time we reach Toad's Factory, I know I really gotta hurry because that just means it's gonna be over in a blink

trail gorge
#

yeah

#

I kinda like the intermissions if im honest

#

but i get everything here lmao

steel mirage
#

I love the intermissions! It also feels awesome to just brawl it out on the broad streets on the way to the actual track

#

But the "actual track" part should just be a little more of the experience imo

#

I wouldn't mind if that makes the race longer? idk

#

Depends I suppose

#

Right now it just feels like "Intermission nlRelax... track: monkaSTEER"

#

Especially on Bowser's Castle I also lament having only one lap because there's no redo if I made a mistake LUL

#

Woes of still being new to the game

craggy breach
#

I think I would prefer if the actual track part was 2 laps

#

But in general I do like the intermission tracks

steel mirage
#

There's too many alt routes to only have one shot at it waaa

#

What I do want to mention is that especially on Intermission tracks there seems to be way too little freedom. No clue.
Last time we were there I was on a power line, I jumped off to the right, and fell right into Lakitu's arms lol

trail gorge
#

the more I play the intermissions the more funny things I do notice

#

e.g. on the snowintermission where you can just

#

jump off the track and trick on a pole

#

in general it seems to be fine in curves

#

where you can just go off-track

#

but if its a actual straight then once you're off track you're in lakitu jail

#

but for that thank fuck that lakitu is blacking you out again

steel mirage
#

Yee I talked about voiding out a little above

noble spade
#

intermissions are fun to play sometimes but i think too many of them are too much of a straight line.
i'd prefer if online races were mostly laps with intermissions appearing every few races, not the other way around. this change sucks.

thin pendant
#

if you select yourself with ´+´ that can still be 3 lap races tracks right?

noble spade
#

only in friend lobbies

thin pendant
#

ah

#

I guess if people vote for the non intermission then?

#

unless that´s also now an intermission

steel mirage
#

Isn't the "here are your three tracks" always Intermission races?

#

So wtf else would the Random Button be for :(

thin pendant
#

not always

#

sometimes the odd one on the side not connected

steel mirage
#

Oh I never actually noticed, that's neat.

#

On another note, Boo Cinema is way too short!

thin pendant
#

it is kinda short

#

could have connected it to the ghost valley in front of the cinema

steel mirage
#

true kinda

#

It feels like a really short rollercoaster that repeats 3 times to make up for the time of usual rollercoasters lmao (but I still think it's a good track)

thin pendant
#

I like it more than Boo Mansion cause it something different than a mansion for a change

#

like I´m just imagining what movie they´ed be watching haha

trail gorge
#

I think it would be fine if we would get 2 connected options and 1 fixed 3 lap option

#

with random being a equal mix

thin pendant
#

agree with random being equal mix

#

kinda dumb that it´s just intercourses

craggy breach
#

Its just WHAT

alpine sand
craggy breach
#

I gotta play more Mario Kart World damn!!

summer tiger
#

I just want the intermissions and still 3 laps

#

Idc how long it is it would be fun

#

Idk why they have to force it into a box

steel mirage
#

Races take the same amount of time as in MK8 kinda, if not longer. So I understand why they wanted it to be kinda the same

#

We hold our weekly Sunday MK tournaments still and it takes longer than before to be finished

#

And this excludes room shenanigans and long waiting times

#

So races deffo already take longer

pure terrace
#

HUH

haughty wigeon
steel mirage
#

Yeah but that is usually after 10

#

Back then, MK8 Tournaments stopped at 9:45

haughty wigeon
#

True true

#

I mean this isn’t so bad imo

steel mirage
#

Hm

#

I wish there was an option like in Smash to choose (FD or Battlefield form when selecting a stage etc), and while I don't think it's the end of the world, I still think it's a bummer because I think intermissions are at its best in KO Tours.

#

And not the norm

haughty wigeon
#

Though that can certainly still become an option in future updates

steel mirage
#

Eh

#

I doubt it tbh, unless the angry feedback to this update actually does something lol

#

From this clip alone it's very clear that people pick random not to have intermissions

haughty wigeon
#

Nintendo.. sometimes listens to feedback lmao

steel mirage
#

Key word sometimes

haughty wigeon
#

^

#

But yeah I don’t really mind the intermissions myself

#

Mostly because that also means you can get a remix of another song while driving to the next track

#

Assuming you can hear it LMAO

#

Okay that’s a bit of an overreaction..

thin pendant
#

it´s the internet

#

there will be that 1 person crashing out always

neon sparrow
#

i wish mario kart world had an sound setting sso you can turn off the SFX and character voices and just have the music on

red vortex
#

okay i'm going to say an unpopular opinion but i think the update is an improvement and it's good that the devs are sticking to their idea of what the game is even if it upsets the competitive players
also imo calling them "intermission tracks" is a misnomer and misunderstanding of the game

trail gorge
#

hmm

#

I do understand the point

#

previously you had the clear option

#

either pick a route to a track, or a random 3 lap

#

this has been taken away

daring kindle
#

I'm hoping they add a classic mode

harsh wind
#

Taking away options is never good. You'd think after Smash Bros. Brawl, they'd know you need to throw the competitive crowd a bone every now and then to keep everyone happy.

#

Then again, it looks like they want Mario Kart to be more of a party game on wheels than a competitive racing game

red vortex
#

mario kart was never meant to be a competitive racing game

haughty wigeon
#

every mario kart

#

(or it’s intention atleast)

harsh wind
#

More or less, though games like 8 Deluxe arguably were better balanced between being casual and competitive

haughty wigeon
#

But it was still meant to be a party game

#

That is and always will be the core essence of mario kart lol

#

If you want competitive Nintendo

harsh wind
#

I'm just saying it's possible to have it both ways. Smash is a good example where you can make it as casual or competitive as you want.

haughty wigeon
#

That is true

#

But still, mario kart world was never meant to be a competitive game lol

fervent flame
#

I'll give my own opinion. I've no knowledge how online works nor own the game, but from my point of view I think Nintendo wanted to increase the chances of variety of races for random? From 30 tracks to hundreds of possible routes seems like a cool addition. Of course I believe a filter would be good to have too, but this is Mario Kart so is all about chaos and "fun". Also we had this before kinda, with Mount Wario and N64 Rainbow Road. Is just a matter of time people learn these layouts, and be "good" with them.

haughty wigeon
#

True true

#

It’s just a bit silly to complain about a game trying to appeal to it’s target audience yknow

haughty wigeon
trail gorge
#

I dont account this to the competitives

#

I do like the intermission thought

#

but sometimes I just want to hear toads factory and race 3 times on it

#

or just on the track itself to hear the soundtrack for a bit longer

haughty wigeon
#

True!

trail gorge
#

subsequently racing on a track "normally" also makes me remember the layout more

#

I dont really remember or can visualise any world track as of right now even though I sank hours in

#

in comparison to other entries in mario kart

haughty wigeon
#

But if this is how Nintendo wants to appeal to the target audience, aint much we can do about that

#

Because lets be honest, the average mario kart player is gonna enjoy it with or without the intermissions

trail gorge
#

fifty fifty I'd say

#

I think its a sad change myself tbh

#

but at the same time, I kinda get it

#

but forcing a designchoice onto people after they had different options presented is never really good

#

if it would be a 50/50 Split that would be a better change

#

people voted random in 8d just as much in comparison

#

so the big outrage about random in this case I dont understand tbh

red vortex
trail gorge
#

I do however think that its not a good choice to restrict it to mostly intermission only

#

yee

#

im also in favor of making it true random in that case

#

I didnt play ro test myself yet, I just went by what I saw in reddit discussions

#

but yeah going random was always the usual pick in online random lobbies except if you're me and get marios piste 3 on the selection

fervent flame
#

I've realized that when choosing a "interconnected course" you go to that specific place and then next race you go from that course to the next one, so its like an actual road trip. It's a cute detail

haughty wigeon
#

The whole thing of driving from one course to the next is kinda like

#

The whole point of this game 😭

trail gorge
#

no, the whole point of this game is mario kart

#

this is just one more feature it has

haughty wigeon
#

Yeah but it’s like the main ‘gimmick’

trail gorge
#

as said this isnt about deleting the intermission

#

I like them, they open it up a lot and make it more unique

#

but most of the time it is mostly a straight track

thin pendant
#

if you make random choose between all the 3 lap course and intermission courses there´d be more chance for it to be the intermission course than normal one so why not just do that

trail gorge
#

or moreso that it feels like a straight

#

so random being both worlds would be the best solution here

haughty wigeon
trail gorge
#

^as said I (or everybody) doesnt know what the actual chances are

trail gorge
#

if you get hit in a mostly straight section

#

there is so much less room to get to the front with good item usage for shortcuts for example

craggy breach
#

That's why they made mushrooms goated

trail gorge
#

im so glad mushrooms feels at least somewhat usefull again

#

horrid in mk8

haughty wigeon
#

Hm, I atleast don’t really think about it because my mind is way too busy with other stuff during the race 😭

craggy breach
#

Mhm

trail gorge
#

yeah thats fine

#

in the end I also dont care too much about the random change

#

I do think it should have been there from the start instead of forcing the change, though

haughty wigeon
#

I do have a complaint about the item distribution tho

trail gorge
#

because as said its never really a good choice to take away options (esp if people like and are used to said options)

haughty wigeon
#

It feels way more unfair in this game cause why do I get bombarded with red shells when im in first

trail gorge
#

thats just negativity bias if you think about it though

haughty wigeon
#

But when im in second I literally drown in bananas and green shells

trail gorge
#

because it hurts much more

craggy breach
#

Ye

trail gorge
#

if you're the one getting the short end of the stick

craggy breach
#

Also our tournaments have all been frantic items so far lol

haughty wigeon
#

It could be that

#

But I only get red shells like 3 out of 10 times when im in second

#

And ive already lost count on how many times I got triple red shells yeeted at my ass 😭

trail gorge
#

yeah but as siad thats just bias because you're the one getting hit

#

for everyone in 1st that gets hit by 3 red shells

#

there is one in 2nd that has 3 red shells

#

so this equalises just by saying it out loud

#

its not only that as well - 2nd shoots a red at you, gets hit themselves, 3rd (now 2nd) has more red shells that get thrown at yo

#

this is the same in every mario kart though

haughty wigeon
#

Hmmmm I see

shadow violet
# craggy breach Also our tournaments have all been frantic items so far lol

keep it that way, it's fun

I swear if next time someone horns me again while I'm flying midair 11th place with no items on me and I fall back to 24th because of that only to get back to 8th just so Lakitu can pick me away because I went 1 cm off-course and he puts me to 23rd again I will lose it, but other than that frantic items are really fun

haughty wigeon
#

It would be nice if this game had a replay feature as well

# red vortex okay i'm going to say an unpopular opinion but i think the update is an improvem...

What, what does that have to do with competitive

I do not consider myself (or anyone outside of TT lol) a competitive Mario Kart Player, I just kinda wanna go to the track instead of 3 laps of straights sometimes

I am not actually mad about the change, I think it's good that random is, well, random (meaning from all, and in this case both), and I do think that the reactions are overreacting about this

steel mirage
#

It's like saying Retro Tracks in 8 are not the point when there's no anti-grav or gliding sections lol

fervent flame
#

I think the main gimmick is more like... the 24 players' chaos now

#

If not the open world

#

Also true tbh

The main gimmick in Mario Kart World is probably the giant world it takes place in

Invincibility after falling that's crazy

steel mirage
#

Oh we did this in MK8 too tbh

#

As in, falling off the track if a blue shell hits you

#

This one seemed less feasible because of the item loss, but I didn't know the invincibility frames were that long holy

#

Makes sense

The invincibility after falling off was much shorter in MK8dx than in World

I need you to understand the context of this clip
I was playing Mario Kart with my brother yesterday. It's the last race of the cup. I'm on the left, he's on the right. My mum is sat in the same room
and then this shit happens
and the "OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHH!!!" that we both let out at the exact same time as soon as we crossed the line was so loud it scared the shit out of my mum and must have made the neighbours think someone had lost a limb LMAO

and as im trying to line up a photo of them what do i spy out of the corner of my eye but a FIFTH one which i then do a triple-take on only to immediately spin the camera the other way to be hit by THREE MORE which i stg makes me go "WAIT" so hard that I start choking
and after that video i spotted ANOTHER IN THE BACKGROUND
THERE ARE NINE GLIDER TRUCKS ON THIS INTERSECTION
I'M TELLING YOU THEY'RE EVERYWHERE AND THEY'RE COMING FOR US ALL

The amazing thing about this game is that it makes it look like everything you do is deliberate even when I am playing things completely by ear.

at least i'm pretty sure this will reach nintendo with the amount of traction this is gaining

#

i can't lie i also wish there was a bit more in this game like a more detailed online mode (i would've actually loved a for fun/for glory split), or a jukebox so you can play songs whenever you'd want (also in races)

#

it just kinda feels like there's not much oomph around the actual game

i want them to add the talking flowers from mario wonder

haughty wigeon
#

Keep in mind how barebones Mario kart 8 was at launch lol

red vortex
#

to be fair it's not a very easy issue to fix
you can't really just add a separate gamemode because then you split the player base and kinda invalidate the entire concept of the game. there's also only 30 tracks in the game and a lot of them are pretty simple so people are going to get bored of it after like two weeks
you cant rework the race structure easily because then that messes up item balancing, the 24 players, the track layouts, etc. i think so many of the tracks are simple so they can more easily accommodate the much more chaotic races for example
there's a lot to consider and there's probably a good argument that the simplest solution is to just make a new mario kart game which they're not going to do any time soon lol
i really really like mario kart world and i apparently like it for all the reasons other people dislike it lol. i wish the people who outright hate the game were just more open minded about it.
fwiw since the Update™ i'm still getting 3-lap races from online random picks pretty often, at least 50% of the time.
obviously there are people who would like more 3-lap races and that's fine, but then there's the people like a lot of nintendo youtubers who are flipping their shit for no real reason

the reason is money

Better qeustion is probably: How would you rate the track design in comparision to the other games?

summer tiger
#

The tracks do feel a lot shorter to me personally, but I don’t mind because the tech on them is a lot of fun. There are only like 3 tracks that I don’t really like, which are faraway oasis, starview peak (how dare they do Rosalina so dirty), and desert hills.

#

Starview peak definitely should’ve had you ride through the inside of the castle/observatory as well to lengthen the track, it’s just pretty to look at and nothing else

Faraway oasis actually has a decent layout but it feels empty aside from 2 or 3 parts of it.

Desert hills is just desert hills, but it does look pretty nice

red vortex
steel mirage
#

^it probably boils down to this

summer tiger
#

I do definitely miss what anti gravity added to track design, but it doesn’t make a big difference for me compared to how technically fun the tracks in world are

I’m still finding new paths to this day

and still thinking something is a path only for Lakitu to tell you it's actually not one

Guys I have a theory. What if the missing courses to not have a remix in World are potential DLC courses in the future? For example:

  • N64 Bowser's Castle
  • GBA Boo Lake/Broken Pier
  • GBA Sky Garden
  • GBA Sunset Wilds
  • GBA Snow Land
  • GBA Lakeside Park
  • GCN Waluigi Stadium/Wario Colosseum
  • DS Bowser's Castle
  • Wii Koopa Cape
  • Wii Bowser's Castle
  • 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon
  • 3DS Wuhu Loop/Maka Wuhu
  • 3DS Neo Bowser City/Koopa City
  • 3DS Bowser's Castle
  • MK8 Mario Kart Stadium
  • MK8 Bowser's Castle
  • MK8 Excitebike Arena
  • MK8 Mute City
  • MK8 Hyrule Circuit
  • MK8 Animal Crossing
  • MK8 Big Blue
  • 8DX Yoshi's Island
  • Tour New York Minute
  • Tour Paris Promenade
  • Tour London Loop
  • Tour Berlin Byways
  • Tour Sydney Sprint
  • Tour Amsterdam Drift
  • Tour Athens Dash
  • Tour Rome Avanti
  • Tour Madrid Drive

and they didnt feel the need to introduce "3rd" party characters because there are so many

that was referring to characters though, wouldnt be surprised if tracks were to come though

You booted up Football, you went to court

And I do not consider a "you got a trophy! here's a character quirk" to be story.

#

Now compare with Mario Tennis Aces, Golf, etc

mario power tennis had one

#

Been playing this the past couple of days... I have thoughts

#

I guess the "big thing" about it is how it's the first exclusive for Switch 2, and how it improves on the graphics from the previous console.

#

I still think this game would have been "possible" on Switch 1, but it would have some significant compromises that would hinder the experience. Probably like dynamic 720p and 30fps, lower quality assets, and less detail. Maybe even load screens. That is to say, it's not significantly outside the realm of things possible on Switch 1, but there are a number of improvements that really show the power of this system. Would I have chosen this particular game to be the poster child for the SW2's power? Perhaps not, but I definitely do notice the improvements regardless.

#

As for the game itself, I think there are some major structure changes to talk about.

#

Instead on the traditional 3 lap tracks, it has you drive to each track before you do one lap at the track.

harsh wind
#

In terms of showcasing the power and features of a new console, I'd put Mario Kart World on the same level as Super Mario World. The improvements are more subtle than usual, and don't even take full advantage of every single new feature the system has, but you still have a good content-filled game to mess around with at launch so not much to complain about.

severe ingot
# severe ingot Instead on the traditional 3 lap tracks, it has you drive to each track before y...

Personally, while I do feel that this change is a little drastic; I do enjoy how it makes the game world feel a lot bigger + immersive. I'm generally positive on it, but I would like to have the option to just race on the tracks as well if I so chose. Also, while I understand keeping to one lap to not make the games too long, I really think these tracks deserve the proper 3 lap attention. So overall I suppose I'm mixed on this change.

#

The OST is quite pleasing to listen to. I'd probably prefer more new music rather than remakes of old themes, but it all sounds great so I don't have too much issue there.

#

In general, the game controls very similar to Mario Kart 8. There are some new mechanics which are fun to play around with / master though. As for the tracks themselves, I feel they are more beginner friendly. This is fine but I do wish there was a bit more challenge on offer here.

#

I would also like to see this game receive content updates - specifically new DLC tracks. While this entry has the same amount of tracks that were traditionally offered in MK up until MK8DX, it feels a little lacking since we've had so many more for a number of years now in 8DX.

pure terrace
#

Huh

harsh wind
#

There are also technically two less tracks in MKW compared to previous entries, as both Peach Stadium and Crown City are used twice, albeit with very different routes

severe ingot
#

If nothing else though, I would really like to see 3 lap races in online play. I don't really mind if you drive there or not, maybe you could just do that for courses next to each other; but I feel you don't really get a chance to appreciate them the way it is. It's more just item RNG until you get to the track, and by then you might already be so far behind. That isn't to say skill is useless in the drive bys, but the nature of how they are more or less straight paths limits your options.

haughty wigeon
#

But I really couldnt care less about that

#

The only thing I actually want is to be able to increase the volume of the music lol

severe ingot
#

I felt that the music volume was plenty loud, but I was also wearing headphones so maybe it's different on speakers

haughty wigeon
#

It’s way different on tv without headphones

#

You can barely hear the music lol

severe ingot
harsh wind
#

You can also choose 3-lap courses if playing in a friend lobby, though it's a little obtuse with how you do it.

haughty wigeon
#

I really don’t mind the intermissions tbh

#

It definitely doesn’t make the game unplayable

#

Which people are unironically saying

severe ingot
#

I enjoy them, I just don't like how they replace the traditional 3 lap set up.

haughty wigeon
#

Yeah, that is kinda shitty

severe ingot
haughty wigeon
#

But it can definitely still be changed

haughty wigeon
#

People are acting like every single intermission is just a straight line with absolutely nothing on it

#

I wonder if they have even played the game because the straightest intermission is the bridge and that one has so. Much. Shit on it 😭

severe ingot
#

Some are more simple than others, but in general there's still some skill demand. More emphesis on items than a normal track though.

haughty wigeon
#

And even then it’s not a bad thing that it’s simple

#

after all, Nintendo’s intended audience for this game are just people who wanna play mario kart for the sake of playing Mario kart

#

would those people care about the intermissions?

severe ingot
#

In general, I got the impression that this was built for a more un-serious audience yeah

haughty wigeon
#

Yeah exactly

pure terrace
#

MK was never serious

harsh wind
#

One could argue that previous Mario Karts were a bit better at balancing the chaotic party game nature with the more serious skill-based aspects.

haughty wigeon
#

But that is still there lol

#

Wall riding, rail grinding, skips

#

All of these things are possible in the intermissions as well

severe ingot
#

As someone who finds a lot of enjoyment in practicing each track / learning new techniques, this game still offers interesting ideas even if in general that isn't the focus of the game necessarily. The core game loop of prior MK games (or at least 7/8) probably lended itself more to that "skill" loop than this one does, but there's still things here for more competitive players to have fun.

haughty wigeon
#

^^^

harsh wind
#

I have seen some insane shortcuts people have taken using the new abilities on the 3-lap courses

trail gorge
#

I like intermissions itself

#

but only playing 1 lap, and intermissions now being the primary race online, you really barely get to know any track

#

I also dont really like how all these ramps, railings, designed wallriding parts of the track

#

are pretty much compltely useless and punish you for going for them lol

#

its faster to just race normally and not do any cool movement, which is a shame

#

you get punished for skill most of the time ther elmao

Hmm I see I see, that’s a valid point

Wow... This sounds like they went the direction (many, though not all) players want
I'm honestly stunned considering their prior update kind of seemed like they wanted to shut that down
I'm really curious what Mario Kart World will look like in its final iteration
It seems like the times where you drive between tracks has some growing pains associated with it
I wouldn't rule out an overhaul of sorts tbh
I'm not sure what they would do, maybe edit the roads so they have more interactability or optional paths?

Not mentioned in this tweet but

You can finally choose who to spectate...

Thank god

I just wanna do intermissions AND 3 laps 💔

If they add that I’ll be happy

#

Two races into the online update and I'm only seeing routes 😔

hollow cosmos
#

Okay to test the update I played ten online races, and out of those ten I only got three choices for route-less tracks so it's like a 1/3 chance you'll get one

#

Sadly I don't think Mario Kart World online is back 😭

the nerf is purely so the kids have an opportunity to win in higher cc´s lol

tbf they were pretty brutal especially for a mario kart game lol

especially in knockout tour

#

KO Tour was such an achievement to get down week one

#

It was just so

#

so bullshit at times LMAO

thin pendant
#

they were brutal in boo lake KO

#

you HAD to get items AND slipstreams to even get there in p1 for the first gate

shadow violet
#

KO tour was brutal LOL

red vortex
#

according to that short in the previous version you could never play 3 lap races online

#

which

#

and i can't stress this enough

#

is a lie

#

WAIT

#

WAIT

#

THE CHANGE DOESN'T EVEN APPLY TO ONLINE RACES

#

JUST VS RACE AND WIRELESS PLAY

#

LMAO

#

wireless races are not the same as online races

thin pendant
#

no shot 💀

dry spear
#

LMAO

steel mirage
#

OK but I select VS Races in my online lobby

#

Either VS Races or KO Tour

red vortex
#

yeah but you could pick anything in online friend lobbies that doesnt count lmao

steel mirage
#

Is normal online lobbies not also VS Races 💀

red vortex
#

no

#

the online race mode is called "Race"

steel mirage
#

lmao

#

semantics shmemantics

red vortex
#

they refer to online play as "Online Play" like here

thin pendant
#

I mean surely we´ll hear about the details from all the complainers nlKEKdorf

steel mirage
#

Love transparency

#

I would totally assume that applies to normal online...

#

But that'd make sense with Cocoa's feeling as well

red vortex
#

they use very specific language and very specifically did not say "online play"

steel mirage
#

@hollow cosmos

#

I set you in CC for that

red vortex
#

also according to twd98 (troy) them saying "lap-type courses" is them making fun of people idfk

Race of the 3 lap variety

NINTENDO Just KICKED Me In The FACE Because They Called Them LAP-TYPE COURSES #mariokartworld #mariokart #nintendoswitch2 #nintendo #switch2

thin pendant
#

like who cares

red vortex
#

yeah but

#

dont you know that nintendo hates them specifically

#

thats why they're not updating the game to their specific demands!!

#

nintendo are forcing them to do absurd things like checks notes play in friend lobbies

#

nintendo hates mario kart and me specifically because they didn't make it how i want it!!!!

haughty wigeon
#

me when Nintendo doesn’t suit a game in MY tastes and they do stuff that I don’t like and they don’t listen to MY opinions and make the game exactly as other Mario kart games!!!!!!!!!

haughty wigeon
#

wtffff I just realised cheep cheep falls has a tiny ninja hideaway leitmotif

#

Thats so cool

fervent flame
#

So I saw they updated the chances of getting an coin box to be more frequent...

#

I just saw a clip of someone getting a coin box and a coin in first Shad_anger

red vortex
#

honestly upping the chances of getting one in first is really nice

#

considering it gives you eight coins and showers the track with them

fervent flame
#

I mean yeah if its a coin box and a banana is sounds great

#

But two coin items?

haughty wigeon
red vortex
#

god the rosalina's ice world remix is so good

summer tiger
#

Still wish we got that over starview peak

haughty wigeon
#

Damn @steel mirage I thought you’d go for boo cinema tbh

steel mirage
#

It's awesome, I like the atmosphere

#

It's also unapologetically Irri-themed

#

But as a track? Dry Bones Burnout is just a superb racing track.

haughty wigeon
#

I see I see

steel mirage
#

I think Boo Cinema is an artistic treat, and I love going there, but it's very short and uneventful as a track.

haughty wigeon
#

But keep in mind the poll isn’t about what the actual track is like 👀 it can be about anything you like about them

steel mirage
#

In comparison to Dry Bones Burnout, I mean.

#

Yeah

#

I still think Twisted Mansion did everything better, for example

#

But Dry Bones Burnout has a lot of energy to it.

steel mirage
#

Aside from the track just being longer and feeling more engaging, I just like it more. Even with how stellar Boo Cinema's change in music is (inside the film, etc), I just feel like Twisted Mansion has. more consistent vibes?

#

I suppose the miniature size of Boo Cinema doesn't help, it feels very "encapsuled"

haughty wigeon
#

I see I see

red vortex
#

the fact that boo cinema is just a figure of 8 makes me sad if i think about it too hard

#

such a visually cool track but belongs more in the mushroom cup than the leaf cup

summer tiger
#

I feel the same way about starview peak 💔

#

Gorgeous tracks but the layout is so simple, in starview peaks case it’s not even really fun either

#

Hopefully if they ever do dlc tracks they’ll feel larger and more intricate like the later cups

What are yall’s opinions on Kevin’s voice acting in this game btw? Does he do a good job?

red vortex
#

which one is kevin

#

mario?

#

he sounds like mario so

#

it's mario but slightly different

haughty wigeon
#

He already perfected Luigi in Brothership imo tho his Mario still needed a bit of work

#

It’s better in World tho 👍

fervent flame
#

Hes been doing a good job personally. I just needed some time for his acting to grow on me

daring kindle
#

Got the urge to do some time trials

#

Let's see how I do

shadow violet
#

In Mario Kart World I did a Time Trial run on Shy Guy Bazaar but did not press A once. I used a mushroom to get myself moving then found a path where I could rail grind, wall ride, and trick to get boosts and make it all the way around the track. Here's how to do it!

I think the options are just one slider that you can set to normal or loud, so don't get your hopes up until you try it 😂

sure it's stupid that volume control is not a slider but personally a "loud" option is all i wanted

less straight....?
they're making mario kart woke

trail gorge
#

holy shit?

steel mirage
#

Holy shit they're actually patching it

#

I didn't expect that.

trail gorge
#

I also didnt

#

the one hope I have is that characters get adjusted

#

high accelleration (read:lightweights) need to have their hitstun doubled

#

"doubled" as in

#

they need to make hits feel like getting hit and not a mild inconvenience for those specifically

#

that alone would fix so much

dry spear
#

And Blooper Cabrio fixing please

haughty wigeon
#

I’m testing it right now

#

It’s a lot better though

#

I can actually hear the music!

trail gorge
#

I just want to hear the music

trail gorge
steel mirage
#

Not pimped enough

#

Damn I want to draw a Blooper in a gold chain

haughty wigeon
dry spear
#

Blooper Cabrio is by far the best kart because of the high acceleration and low weight stat combined with the speed it gives

dry spear
#

It kinda contributes to the whole featherweight dilemma

#

They should just make more karts for more characters viable

steel mirage
#

Everything should have the stats of the Standard Kart and just be for looks

dry spear
#

True...

steel mirage
#

Or remove all other karts, that's actually better

#

No skins

#

No karts

#

Only Mario (and Luigi)

#

And Standard Kart

dry spear
#

I would send the video but I don't have it on hand

trail gorge
#

thank you for including luigi

#

if stats would just be within a margin I think that would be much better

#

vanilla 8 worked so well in that regard

#

before they tried balance changes which honestly uh

#

skewed it so hard

dry spear
#

Yeah. it had better stat/hidden distribution

#

(by far)

trail gorge
#

ever since booster course pass it went downhill a bit lol

#

kamek specifically was just a menace

#

I did like the change of invincibility frames (more accceleration, less frames)

dry spear
#

Sorry Andi but Kamek never really was hard meta

trail gorge
#

which im extra curious why world is in the state it is

dry spear
#

It's still Yoshi

trail gorge
#

on release kamek was insane

dry spear
#

They don't share the same stats

trail gorge
#

the next patch kamek was dumped

dry spear
#

Ok I can't remember that

and then world came out and he was reduced to item for his crimes

The redone intermission layouts are genuinely such an improvement, I just played through them and they’re easily some of the best ones in the game. PLEASE do more of this Nintendo!

water intermissions look... fun???

shadow violet
#

Is the game faster here or what?

#

It looks way faster than I could ever imagine going on water

daring kindle
#

I hope they fixed the water speed then

haughty wigeon
#

I hope they’ll also change the airtime speed

steel mirage
#

Good opinion

#

As expected from a Mario In A Standard Kart player

red vortex
#

from a game preservation standpoint this is horrific. they should add an option for you to be able to play the old intermissions. right now the old intermissions are literally lost media and it's insane they would make such a change so recklessly

#

thank you nintendo for finishing your game after launch. could you make it so all of the parkour shit is actually worth doing too

#

nevermind game is still shit, worst entry in the series by far

daring kindle

Also why did I think peach was King Dedede there

Koopa troopa beach to DK spaceport is genuinely fun to play now

bob-omb blast is actually really fun in mkw

#

i didnt play it much in mk8 tbf but in mkw you can control how far you throw the bombss based on how long you hold L so there's some actual strategy in play with judging distance and leading your shots

#

i just wish they had more than 8 battle arenas. there's so many areas of the open world that would work really well for it

#

i wish they had more course obstacles too
