You’re not wrong, but it could just be as simple as Nintendo leaving us crumbs to follow. And in the history of gaming, it won’t be the first time someone went into a race or level with the wrong type of gear for the situation. And who knows, maybe snowmobiles make for great sand hoppers. 

Sure, assuming the sand isn't packed down too much, but it'd be insane to try driving a snowmobile on asphalt like where the starting line is.

In all fairness, driving in the snow like we have been without a snowmobile would also be insane, but that hasn’t stopped us. I think if anything it will be like before where certain attributes will be enhanced (traction, maneuverability) in the snow but top speed on asphalt will be lessened. And maybe you can’t change karts mid cup so you will need to think strategically about the pros and cons.
