What new things should Nintendo add in Mariokart 9 (Next Mariokart)

having a track editor seems just incredibly unrealistic, they'd have to make it easy for everyone to understand and use which would be very difficult for something as complicated as mario kart tracks

if they added one you'd probably only be able to make very basic and flat courses similar to the snes tracks, which would be boring as hell
 
Powerful track editors are something realizable, though. Modnations and Trackmania are both known for their pretty good track editors.

I'm just not sure if Nintendo is capable of pulling it off. And if they could, they need to focus the entire game around it rather than creating their own pre-set tracks (which eats up the meat of the development time) as in the typical Mario Kart game.
 
well yeah, good track editors aren't impossible, but i'm just saying that it would be difficult to make one that has as many features as those ones you listed without alienating a lot of their demographic

and yeah if there was one the game would have to be something similar to mario maker where the game is driven almost completely by user-created levels, which i'm not sure i'd want as the next mario kart game
 
Goomba driver pls
 
I would've prefer Goombrats or Galoombas as drivers myself. Goombas are best suited as obstacles.

Thanks for reading.
 
There's nothing saying you can't have both a Goomba as a driver and a course obstacle. That didn't stop Wiggler from being playable simultaneously to the track hazard Wigglers in Mario Kart 7.

Ah, that's right, I didn't think of Wiggler. Come to think of it, Wiggler is the only example that happened from what I can tell, in a retro track (unless there's a Nitro track featuring Wigglers obstacles in Mario Kart 7 that I am missing). Koopa Troopas aren't obstacles at any point, and Dry Bones are obstacles in Mario Kart 8 (where they are not playable).

In any case, you made a good point that characters and obstacles can be together.

Thanks for reading.

I would say that Goomba can't drive for having no arms, but that didn't stop Ripper Roo from being a racer in Crash Team Racing.
