I have played the closed beta, the game is actually quite fun, it has a lot of variety in items and you can make your own builds with different gadgets combinations that change how you approach the races, there is quite a bit going on for it. The cars part combinations changed to little the stats to matter tho, IMO.

So there is more than you are seeing.

That being said, Mario Kart World presentation looked quite good, like Mario Kart 8, but I dunno how things will go with 24 players now, and the biggest issue with Sonic Racing Crossworlds, to me at least, was the huge ammount of items going on everytime when you are in the leading spots, which made winning hard to a casual.

I noticed that too, Isnt like any item to counter that, a barrier or something? 

For me i like the chaotic direction that MK is going and that without even showing battle mode, which I expect some great arenas. Plus I am certain there's something hidden in world exploration that will be revealed in the direct (some missions maybe... boss battles... i can only imagine)

I like the concept of exploration being added to Mario Kart, and it looks like you can play it normally as a staged based game too from what I heard, so no harm done. I also love the karts getting smaller, it looks better that way IMO.

About Sonic, you can use some items to defend yourself like in Mario Kart, the thing is that everyone has access to 2 items at the same time and you can expand it to holding 3 items with one of the gadgets, so it doesn't matter much if you can defend once if 5 items will come for you in a short while a lot of times, lol, that's what I'm looking foward to see in Mario Kart now too that it'll expand to 24 racers, that's double the players from Sonic Crossworlds.

I'm looking foward to both games, even as I have no clue when I'll get a Switch 2 or Mario Kart 9 with the pricing they are going for, but both games look fun.
