Oh and I totally forgot: Bring back the multiplayer goodness of Mario Kart 64! 

So you want no music, atrocious framerate, awful course design and terribly imbalanced items back? Mario Kart 64 lived off of being kids' first Mario Kart game and the back then four player multiplayer novelty. Every other Mario Kart game easily holds the spot of best fun-racer of its time, MK64 disappointed.

At least your list of five things is reasonable, but what I would want the most is that the base package gets an improvement. 20 new tracks and 20 classic ones, minimum. The step back to 16 new tracks per game was taken with MK64, yet another reason why I spit on that game.

I liked the item distribution in Mario Kart 64. The abundance of stars would counter red shells nicely. The donut stage was awful though.
