I really hope the 'With Friends' isn't just with a random friend on your list like it was in Mario Kart DS (I think), otherwise that could ruin some chances of online tournaments (Y'know, with a forum of people who add each other and fight in a certain order just for the hell of it) [EDIT: Nevermind, you can choose who to battle, and how many people it is. I can see it now.]
However this IS an awesome update, I'm glad the Wi-Fi is even THIS good regardless of how much more people expected. I can't wait to start some random battles. I'll whoop the mediocre players and be creamed by the superior, it's all good.
I'm surprised no one but a few noted the 'Selecting Stage' thing. If they implement the same thing as in Mario Kart DS, that'd be pretty cool...but does this mean we'll be forced to play a level we hate? Will any level be selectable? Will there only be one match?
And, one big question is items. In or out? Can you choose so on the 'With Friends' option? So far, none of the screenshots seem to include any items, and I'd be okay without them. It's probably the best idea, but I have a feeling they will be added in, and many people will hate that.
