Designing TWO Rosters for the Next Mario Kart!
As huge as Mario Kart was before, the Switch era has seen it rise to astronomical heights. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been a monumental success...and also the only mainline entry the series has had on the console. But with the Switch's successor on the horizon, a brand new Mario Kart is a safe bet to be one of its flagship titles!
Fans are already speculating over what direction the new entry could take. Would it be best for the next Mario Kart to return to the series' roots, tapping into all of the new ideas introduced to the Mario universe in the Switch era? Or could the next game take the crossover content present in Mario Kart 8 and go even further with it, bringing in even more Nintendo characters and worlds?
I think both have potential...so let's design rosters for both outcomes! With two full rosters, two sets of new drivers, and two sets of four cups (totaling 32 new courses to race on), this is a full theorycraft for two directions the next Mario Kart game could go in!

    I always thought that if we got another Pokken, Lokix from Gen 9 would be a really sick addition. A Bug/Dark pokemon with flashy but strong kick attacks to jump around opponents and whittle them down, then finishing them with a flying dive kick super to really make the full callback to the Kamen Rider series and Tokusatsu genre its design was inspired by.

    I’m not fully on board with a Nintendo kart idea. I think it’d detract from Smash and Mario Kart. However, I’m down for it if it can stand out on its own. The roster for it is really good. I want Kirby, Dedede, Samus, and Olimar as guests in Mario Kart anyway! And King K Rool is a must for me personally. A very good set of rosters and tracks!

    I think the next smash will be very frustrating for veterans if there isn't some drastic moveset rework for old characters, especially if they focus on representation rather than having interesting movesets. The tought of losing jigglypuff, diddy kong and a lot more interesting new characters in order to preserve a ton of boring main characters is very scary. Mockups like this are especially scary because it feels like all the deep and interesting characters just disappeared and we are left with the most boring ones.

    Would people PLEASE SHUT UP ABOUT HEAVILY LEANING INTO CROSSOVERS IN MARIO KART! PLEASE! I’M TIRED OF IT! *Ahem,* as per my opinion, 8 Deluxe handled them well. A few characters, kart parts, and a few tracks, 1 per bonus cup (not one of the main 8), strikes a great balance. Crossovers are allowed to exist, but they don’t feel like they’re hijacking/taking over Mario Kart. It’s still Mario Kart at its core, the central/majority of content, as well as stuff like items, is still Mario, there’s just a bit of crossing over as a small bonus. However, I feel as though doing really anything more than that would start to feel invasive. If crossover characters took up a higher percentage of the roster, if crossover tracks were more prevalent or part of the main 8 cups, or even if a single item was part of a crossover, that’s where boundaries are being overstepped. I feel as though Mario Kart should be based around Mario, and that if it starts to focus on crossovers, then it just won’t feel right. I would like to preface that, while there is a prevalence of opinions I am in major disagreement with, I do, for the most part, respect all other opinions on the matter. Or at least, I try to. I’m just very annoyed with the prospect of crossovers hijacking one of my favorite game series.

    I have some ideas for potential Sonic content: -Characters: Sonic (M), Tails (M), Dr. Eggman (L) Emerald Cup Idea 1: Just because it's only Sonic characters running the race, doesn't mean Sonic's fellow all-stars aren't given service. -Seaside Hill (The seeming default when it comes to Sonic and racing games, racers speed through a beautiful beach environment as well as portions of Ocean Palace, avoiding Egg Pawns and rolling wheels along the way) -Samba Carnival (Race through the festive streets of a Latin-American town while Amigo and his crew celebrate from the sidelines) -Tokyo-to (Understand the concept of love as you drive through a 90s-esque urban landscape. Try not to run into Beat and Gum as they skate by) -Dream Valley (Fly around the beautiful Spring Valley level, featuring plenty of glider segments to harken to the game of origin. If you look carefully, you can spot NiGHTS themselves flying alongside you) Emerald Cup Idea 2: Just plain old Sonic based tracks -Seaside Hill -Chemical Plant (the second most brought back level in the series, the pink Mega Mack lends itself to decent stretches of underwater driving) -Casino Park (another grab from Heroes, this sectioned course takes you along glamorous streets and even a giant pinball table) -Egg Speedway (an original course designed by Eggman to put racers through the paces, Egg Pawns, crushing pistons, and maybe a Death Egg Robot serve to impede you as you race through this industrial shell of evil)

    Personally I like the direction they went with MK8D: mostly Mario with some Nintendo crossover. I like the crossover ideas you have, but I do feel a couple just don't make sense. F-Zero representation makes sense since it's Nintendo's other racing game. Star Fox to me though is only relevant because of Smash, so Fox and a corresponding track just doesn't make sense to me. Great video all around.
