Am I the only one who really doesn't care about multiplayer online features? The single best thing about Mario Kart is sitting down in front of a TV with all of your friends and playing with them.
It's about perfecting your swearing technique, finding out how many horrible words you can string together and still make sense, knocking a controller out of your friend's hand so he goes flying over the side of the track on Rainbow Road.
The things that make Mario Kart good and pure.
This is what makes MK great, not that it's multiplayer, but that the multiplayer shines when you're in the same room with other people.
If you can have 4 people online at once from the same machine against 8 others, now THAT's something to get excited about.
