SmashBoards Creates: Welcome to Mario Kart! (A Mario-focused Mario Kart, Job #17: Special and Spiny Cup)

[Perkilator]

After the recently-created Mario Kart X creation thread, I decided to make this as a sister thread to that one. With this thread, we're going to be creating a more Mario-adjacent Mario Kart game that feels more like a celebration of Mario's own history and those around him. Before we get started, however, I wanted to set a few ground rules:

1. RPG content is ineligible for the base game. We'll decide what to do with that later.
2. Mainline Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi, and Wario (Land and Ware) content is perfectly fair game for the base game.
3. No crossover-based content for the base game. Like the RPG content, we'll decide what to do with guests at a later date.

[Perkilator]

Job #1: Should there be another gimmick?

Job #2: How should cups be handled?​

For #1, I want you to come up with a new gameplay gimmick for this hypothetical game. For #2, I wanted to ask how many cups will be included at launch (each cup will still include 4 tracks).

Here are my submissions for each job, in case you were all wondering:

Job #1: Should there be another gimmick?
You could collect 8 Red Coins to activate a special item, which can also be freely assigned to any character. I was also thinking you could hold up to three items at a time; one for Attack, Shield, and Speed, respectively. In addition, I think there should also be a handful of tracks with alternate paths on each lap, kind of like some of the tracks in the Booster Course Pass.

Job #2: 48 at launch. 24 new, and 24 retro.

 

[KneeOfJustice99]

Job #01: I don't think we'd really need a particular gimmick, but I do have one that might work well for set dressing - akin to the Zero-Gravity gimmick back in Mario Kart 8. Specifically, Temporal Jumps - which allow you to transition between different "time periods" in a stage's history, a little like the time travel in Sonic CD.

Every stage would have a "past" and "future" variant, which could be switched between by passing through a Temporal Gate. Notably, Temporal Gates can either be over the entire track - meaning everyone would pass through it - or only over part of the track, meaning you could choose whether to enter it or not, but they're featured in some form or another on every track. A stage's "past" and "future" forms would have slightly different appearances and layouts, the specifics of which could change from stage to stage. Some (purely hypothetical) examples;

• A stage set in some woodlands, with the "past" variant during spring, and the "future" variant in autumn.
• A stage set in a shipwreck. Its "past" variant is still sailing, but the "future" variant is sunken underwater.
• A Bowser's Castle stage, with the "past" variant being a more traditional castle, while the "future" variant has been redecorated.
• A Retro stage where the "past" variant is more accurate to its original version, while its "future" variant has more changes overall.

Job #02: I think you could easily have 33 tracks at launch - 16 of them (four cups) as new, 16 of them (four cups) as retro, and then a "Minus World" (or thereabouts) which mashes up all kinds of elements from the other tracks into one giant one.

 

[MartianSnake]

Job 1:
Deeper kart customization tied to tracks with more experimental, multi-faceted layouts.

Players can customize a multitude of kart parts to make their dream karts! I'm talking adding spoilers, ornaments, and paint jobs to customization in addition to bodies and tires. And that's just the cosmetic stuff!

Players can also apply a number of specialized parts to their karts. These parts allow you to go through the tracks in unexpected, fantastical ways, adding new paths for every combination! Gliders, propellers, and anti-grav engines would be moved to this area, along side drills, floatation devices, and whatever else we can think up! You'd only be able to equip three of these specialty parts at once, for balance and all that.

I'm looking to experiment, really messing with the mario kart formula here, something wild!

Job 2:

Purely going off my above pitch, as it'd be less of a development hassle with less tracks, I'm gonna say something controversial:

6 Cups, 3 New, 3 Old.

Job 5: Submit an item count and items​

I've decided to make "items" and "item count" into one job. Basically, how many items and which ones? For me, these 24:

Green Shell​	Triple Green Shell​	Red Shell​	Triple Red Shell​	Blue Shell​	Mushroom​
Banana​	Banana Bunch​	Super Star​	Bob-omb​	Lightning​	Triple Mushroom​
Boomerang​	Super Leaf​	Super Bell​	Golden Dash Mushroom​	Banzai Bill​	Life-Up Heart​
Fire Flower​	Hammer​	Dash Ring​	Feather​	Crazy 8​	Fake Item Box​

Spoiler: Item details

• Banana Bunch works as it does in Wii, but with three bananas instead of five
• Super Bell functionally replaces the Super Horn
• Why Banzai Bill, you may be wondering? Well, partially because it fits the giant size better, but there's a bigger reason that you'll see when I submit my character roster
• Feather allows racers to activate their gliders even on tracks without glide ramps
• Life-Up Heart acts as a shield that steals most items you hit

Job 6: Submit a 50-character roster​

Now this is the job you've been waiting for, I'm sure. We have 50 characters to work with, including the Mii racers. Just keep in mind that while Mario/Donkey Kong/Yoshi/Wario characters are eligible, RPG characters and crossover characters are not. You also can't make up new variations of exisitng characters. Anyway, here's my roster:

Spoiler: Roster

Mario​	Luigi​	Peach​	Daisy​	Rosalina​	Pauline​	Toad​	Toadette​	Bowser​	Bowser Jr.​

Job #7: Mushroom & Shell Cup​

From here on out, we're going to be focusing on one job at a time. This time, you're going to be submitting four tracks for the Mushroom and Shell Cups. The Mushroom Cup consists of new tracks, and the Shell Cup consists of retros.

For me:

Mushroom Cup	Shell Cup
Peach's Driving School​	GCN Luigi Circuit​
Shy Guy Skate Park​	N64 Moo Moo Farm​
Bonneton Museum​	SNES Koopa Beach 1​
Luigi Casino​	Wii Toad's Factory​

 

[FazDude]

Mushroom Cup

• Petal Circuit (based on Pipe-Rock Plateaus from Wonder)
• Half-Pipe Pipeworks (sewers meet skatepark)
• Goomba Woods
• Junior's Playroom

Shell Cup

• GBA Peach Circuit
• Wii Koopa Cape
• DS Delfino Square
• N64 Wario Stadium

 

[BritishGuy54]

Job 7:

Mushroom Cup	Shell Cup
Mushroom Speedway​	GCN Luigi Circuit​
Toad Square​	3DS Daisy Hills​
Shy Guy Skate Park​	SNES Koopa Beach 1​
DK Beach​	Wii Toad’s Factory​

Let’s keep in mind that the Shell Cup is meant to have the easy tracks, even more so with six cups instead of the usual four.

• GBA Peach Circuit
• Wii Koopa Cape
• DS Delfino Square
• N64 Wario Stadium

I’m sorry, but FazDude’s Shell Cup is too much for a first cup. Koopa Cape and Wario Stadium have no place in the Shell Cup, and even Delfino Square feels a bit dicey. Especially in six cups instead of the usual four.

Let’s wait until the Banana Cup to consider DS Delfino Square, and beyond that for Wario Stadium. I’d rather leave Koopa Cape out since we just got it in the BCP.

I do like Perkilator’s suggestions of new courses however. Shy Guy Skate Park sounds fun.

Yeah, I’ll admit Shell Cup wasn’t my strongest offering. I misremembered Koopa Cape as a Flower Cup course in Wii and by the time I realized my mistake I couldn’t get to editing it before voting started. I’m still gonna fight for it (and especially Wario Stadium), but Shell Cup probably isn’t the best place for either in hindsight.

FazDude wins the Mushroom Cup and Perkilator wins the Shell Cup! Congratulations!

Job #8: Submit a single player mode​

For me, an Adventure Mode where you drive around an amusement park and complete different missions.

 

[FazDude]

Job 8: Mission Mode
Ala Mario Kart DS. Not really much more that needs to be added, but I’d like it if you could bring your own character/kart combo into each mission rather than having a preset one for each.

 

[Perkilator]

• Adventure Mode ( Perkilator )
• Mission Mode ( FazDude )

Vote for one, just not your own. I'm going to vote for Mission Mode.
