Mario kart 8 had three glaring problems imo. The roster and the battle mode were the shittiest I have ever seen. Also, I know that Mariokart isn't viewed as really that competitive, but damn, it's a racing game, and in a fucking racing game, you should display the time it took players to finish a course. That's racing games 101. Nintendo being fucking amateurs over here. I can't remember if they fixed that in a patch though. Fix those other mistakes and keep the antigravity. Also, use the Mariokart DS item throwing mechanics as a template.(multiple item holding with one held behind).
Edit: Also, I agree with the story mode suggestions. The boss battles were a great aside in Mariokart DS.
