Mario Kart 9 or 10 has such potential to be a revolutionary experience. I really hope they have their Breath of the Wild moment with this series. Mario Kart 8 is an absolute refinement of everything that came before it, but I just don’t see how they can top that experience without doing something kind of crazy.
A few things I would consider to fit this bill:
1. Nintendo Kart, with an emphasis on introducing new characters to the franchise. Would also love to see animation intros ala Smash Bros for this. This sets up the potential for so many cool new tracks and items and would replace the Smash reveals throughout the Switch 2 generation.
2. Actual Mario Bros levels. Mario Kart levels are great, but I wouldn’t say they are taken out of any of the Mario levels. I would love to drive around the settings if Mario 3 or Mario Galaxy. A course that went through New Donk City would be pretty cool, too.
3. Grand Theft Mario Kart. This would be an open world Mushroom Kingdom with plenty of tracks to run through but would also allow you to complete side missions and explore the levels when you’re not racing. You could earn to licenses to compete in the 100, 150, 200, etc. Coins would be available to find to use to purchase new kart pieces and special karts could be earned by performing long missions or by navigating platforming levels, either 2D or 3D.
I know none of these ideas will happen, but I just hope that when we return for another title that there is a wow factor of some kind.
