Copying what Smash did and doing a Mario Kart Ultimate sort of thing could be really cool and boost excitement for it significantly.

They should keep that for Mario Kart 10/X unless this one is that.

Not sure if they officially consider MK Tour as MK9.

Since they don't consider any of the side games part of the main series my guess is they don't. With how stacked 8DX is in terms of content they're either gonna do that or make major changes that make it feel both fresh and a lot more advanced and it seemingly having 24 player races does add credence to the latter.
