With how big of a deal Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was, I hoe the next Mario Kart game comes out the gate swinging in terms of characters and tracks. More specifically, my one dream for the next Mario Kart game is 48 tracks at launch (24 new, 24 retro).

You know…in hindsight, I think I’ve been taking Smash Jigglypuff for granted all these years.

We all know Rachael Lillis from the many wonderful roles she played. She filled our Saturday mornings and before/after school hours with her beautiful voice, her terrific comic timing, and her remarkable acting skills. #RachaelLillis pic.twitter.com/XOjFqY0C1L

Headcanon: the Dry Bowser in the Mario spin-offs is actually the skeletal version of Bowser's brother

If nothing else, I hope the Switch 2 era is the era where Nintendo actually starts if not embraces working with fans on the same way SEGA does with Sonic fans.

Discussing characters based on their relevancy has to be some of the most cynical and joyless parts of Smash speculation.

Normally, I want alts for characters other than Mii Fighters to be part of the base game. But if they just have to be paid DLC, all I ask is that they get bundled in with the Challenger Pack.

I think I've noticed a bit of a pattern with Fire Emblem throughout the 3DS and Switch eras.

Fire Emblem: Awakening (2012, 3DS)

Fire Emblem Fates (2015, 3DS)

Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (2017, 3DS)

Popular game released early in a console's lifespan	Divisive game released in the middle of a console's lifespan	Remake of a Japan-only game released near the end of a console's lifespan
Fire Emblem: Three Houses (2019, Switch)	Fire Emblem: Engage (2023, Switch)	Possible FE4 remake?

And yes, I'm fully aware that this isn't a 100% accurate assessment.

Perkilator · Jul 29, 2024

Every time I look at what speculation has become, it says to me more and more that a lot of Smash fans don’t expand their horizons when it comes to video games.

I just had the dumbest idea for how to make Cappy a Mario Kart racer; have him possess the vehicle selected and his true form would appear during trick animations.

I don’t think I can ever get over how much potential Mario Kart Tour wasted in terms of racers, character alts be damned.

Decided to resurrect this thread after over half a year:

SmashBoards Mini-Recreates: Project X Zone 1 and 2 (Job #6: Tales Pair and Solo)

This is a much smaller scale compared to my other revision threads, as we're focusing entirely on the characters. A few ground rules: The series primarily focuses on characters who are humans or close enough to having human-like body shapes, so sadly, no Sonic or Klonoa or otherwise will be...

Y’know, I wanna say “screw it, the next Smash should reveal every DLC character in whatever DLC pass they do” but I’m also concerned about the potential fan backlash and red tape surrounding those characters.

In hindsight, maybe the “silent protagonist with limited dialogue options” approach wasn’t the best fit for Byleth in Three Houses.

If Mission Mode returned in Mario Kart, I think it'd be cool if there was 1 mission per course and you can pick any character for each mission. I think for the sake of brainstorming, I'll do a mission for each of the base game 8 Deluxe courses and battle maps.

Mushroom Cup	Flower Cup	Star Cup	Special Cup	Egg Cup	Crossing Cup
Mario Kart Stadium: Touch the helicopter when gliding	Mario Circuit: Do 5 mini-turbos within 1 lap	Sunshine Airport: Break 5 crates within 3 laps	Cloudtop Cruise: Break all of the barrels on the airship within 30 seconds	GCN Yoshi Circuit: Go through all dash rings within 2 laps, including the waterfall shortcut	GCN Baby Park: Do 30 mini-turbos within 7 laps
Water Park: Touch the Ferris Wheel when gliding	Toad Harbor: Knock over each cable car with a Super Star	Dolphin Shoals: Use all 3 dash rings near the start within 2 laps	Bone-Dry Dunes: Defeat all of the Dry Bones within 1 lap	Excitebike Arena: Perform 20 tricks within 3 laps	GBA Cheese Land: Go through the dash rings on each shortcut within 1 lap
Sweet Sweet Canyon: Go through the dash rings on each path within 2 laps	Twisted Mansion: Defeat 5 Fish Bones within 3 laps	Electrodrome: Activate every anti-gravity booster within 3 laps	Bowser's Castle: Perform 10 tricks within 1 lap	Dragon Driftway: Don't stop drifting or tricking for more than 3 seconds	Wild Woods: Don't stop drifting or tricking for more than 3 seconds
Thwomp Ruins: Go through the dash rings on the two mushroom shortcuts within 1 lap	Shy Guy Falls: Do 10 mini-turbos within 3 laps	Mount Wario: Go through all of the ski gates and dash rings in the last section	Rainbow Road: Do 15 mini-turbos within 3 laps	Mute City: Use all of the pit areas within 1 lap	Animal Crossing: Pop all of the balloons within 3 laps

Shell Cup	Banana Cup	Leaf Cup	Lightning Cup	Triforce Cup	Bell Cup
Wii Moo Moo Meadows: Knock away 5 Moo Moos with a Super Star within 1 lap	GCN Dry Dry Desert: Defeat all of the Pokeys within 1 lap	DS Wario Stadium: Get 1st place against Wario and Waluigi	DS Tick-Tock Clock: Go through every glider dash ring within 1 lap	Wii Wario's Gold Mine: Do the course with your character driving backwards	3DS Neo Bowser City: Do 5 mini-turbos within 1 lap
GBA Mario Circuit: Go through the oil slicks with a Mushroom within 1 lap	SNES Donut Plains 3: Go through the dash ring in the underwater shortcut within 1 lap	GCN Sherbet Land: Get rid of the Freezies within 1 lap	3DS Piranha Plant Slide: Defeat every Goomba within 1 lap	SNES Rainbow Road: Go through evert dash ring	GBA Ribbon Road: Defeat the Mechakoopas within 1 lap
DS Cheep Cheep Beach: Defeat 20 Sidesteppers within 1 lap	N64 Royal Raceway: Defeat 20 Piranha Plants within 1 lap	3DS Music Park: Bounce every time a Note lands onto the ground	Wii Grumble Volcano: Do the course with your character driving backwards	Ice Ice Outpost: Do the course with your character driving backward	Super Bell Subway: Do the course with your character driving backwards

The battle maps have missions themed around boss battles, like in Mario Kart DS.

Battle Stadium: Vs. Boom Boom	Sweet Sweet Kingdom: Vs. Pom Pom	Dragon Palace: Vs. Boom Boom & Pom Pom	Lunar Colony: Vs. King Bob-omb
3DS Wuhu Town: Vs. Army of Goombas	GCN Luigi's Mansion: Vs. King Boo	SNES Battle Course 1: Vs. Bowser Jr. & Koopalings	Urchin Underpass: Vs. DJ Octavio

While Ring Fit Trainee is the Ring Fit rep that I want for Smash, I also think it’d be pretty funny if Dragaux was the Ring Fit rep for Mario Kart.

Reimagine a Mario Kart track

Ever felt like a Mario Kart track could do more? Well, feel free to do just that with any existing track you can think of!

The fact that the current state of the Pokémon games is because Game Freak is talentless and not because of the crunch they have to endure just makes me depressed. I know they shouldn’t have lied about the “high-quality animations” and stuff, but I don’t think they did that out of malice.

Anyway, now we're doing the first Tour in my Mario Kart Tour remake. Come swing by if you have the time.

SmashBoards Re-Creates: Mario Kart Tour (Canceled)

After testing the waters with re-creating Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, I've decided to go ahead and re-create a game with all sorts of missed potential. I'm of course referring to the mobile game Mario Kart Tour, the game that famously didn't have Luigi at launch and charged $40 for Diddy Kong. So, I...

Even if Nintendo just had to reuse assets for the original Wii U Mario Kart 8’s Battle Mode, they still could’ve just made original battle maps using those assets like they did for 8 Deluxe.

You know how the original Wii U battle maps were literally just Moo Moo Meadows, Dry Dry Desert, Donut Plains 3, Toad’s Turnpike, Mario Circuit, Toad Harbor, Sherbet Land and Yoshi Valley? I think you could’ve easily made actual battle maps with their assets. As for what they’d probably be:

Moo Moo Barnyard
GBA Battle Course 4
SNES Battle Course 1
Toad’s Parking Garage
Peach’s Castle
Harbor Plaza
3DS Sherbet Rink
Yoshi Canyon

Perkilator · Jul 11, 2024

If Moo Moo Farm was in the Booster Course Pass, I could see the gates on both sides leading onto the bridges around the course for alternate paths on each lap, kind of like other courses in the Booster Course Pass.

Of course, considering that the entirety of the Booster Course Pass consists of courses ported over from Tour, that would probably require Moo Moo Farm to actually be in Tour.
