I totally agree with you about the ability to race entire cups online. I find myself playing several races and having varying degrees of success. I would LOVE the option to do an entire cup--maybe not 32 tracks (sometimes I need to quit or use the bathroom or something) but going through four or five tracks seems about right.
I don't remember ever choosing the AI in a MK game, to be honest. I'm gonna have to fire up MKWii and MKDS today to see for sure.
And now, my personal gripes:
-I want to be able to design my own decal like Mario Kart DS. I used to love seeing the kind of artwork people came up with in that game.
-I want to be able to see who I'm racing, while I'm racing. Put their name over the character's head or on the bottom screen or something. I don't like waiting until after the race to find out that one of the three Yoshi's I was trying to beat wasn't my friend because he quit the game!
-So many cool characters from the past are missing.
-I lose points sometimes for having a bad connection. I wish there was some way for the system to know that I got booted out for a bad connection and not because I turned the system off, flipped the wireless switch, or closed the system. Doesn't seem fair for me to be penalized for something beyond my control.
-Where's my feather? It's been gone for ages but I still want the feather back! It was a life saving power-up and a key to many shortcuts in the older game.
Still great fun, though.
