[@kaitlinbennett4181]

Agree.

[@Bluedoesstuff456]

BOY do I have news for you

[@skapokonroll]

>The gimmick is a meter that can fill up by collecting items, and that when activated gives each character a unique new ability. The nature of humanity is just that every so often someone accidentally invents Muppets Racemania again.

[@captaindoesyoutube7925]

I have a similar gimmick where by collecting 10 coins you can press the Item button when the item thing is empty to “buy” a character exclusive item

[@SaltySylveon-r5b]

I think a “Toadsworth University/Academy” would make through a unique track. Racing through halls, Classrooms, the cafeteria, and the courtyards could be unique environments to drift through. Either that or make it a battle track.

[@toxiquid]

love it. i think that would work really well for a race. i could also see it being like a museum as well as i think that fits toadsworth's vibes as well haha

[@octaviogalicia8179]

This is literally insane, you’ve done some amazing work here and your art is incredible

[@jourdonpatron212]

Mario Kart Tour is considered the 9th entry and introduces A LOT of new ideas they're definitely using the next game like Reverse Tracks and Remix Tracks.

[@ardentROB]

Fantastic work, the art and animation are looking CRISP ! I'm super on-board with the "hang out & brainstorm sesh" narrative, its such a dope concept and you nailed the presentation :D Keep cookin' man!

[@toxiquid]

thanks! i want to find ways to ground my videos, and this was the first logical step. already brainstorming a new premise for the next one that makes logical sense, and i think people will enjoy that too haha

[@BonnyJohn]

So much attention and detail in here! The work you put in is certainly not lost on me. Keep it up mang! I have no enemies.

[@toxiquid]

thats my goat right there

[@ChirpyLuNa]

Really the only glaring problem with the retro track selection is Mushroom Bridge's inclusion. It's counterpart, Mushroom City, has yet to make a appearance in another mario kart game, unlike bridge where it reappeared in both DS and Tour

[@gong256]

I have been looking for videos like this for so long. I love just thinkin’ about stuff and ideas for things that I love. Video is super high quality, too.

[@mguymario]

A idea I had after watching this: add the clone charcters from Tour as alts you can pick from like how the shy guys and yoshis have alt colors

[@Brookehas_stoppedyt]

This is an incredible idea! Here’s some ideas I think could also work: - I’d like to see some representation for the other Mario spinoffs, a board game themed track or a paper cutout would be so cool to see in game! - if there are several courses with a specific theme they should be in a certain cup, for example the mushroom cup for all the different mushroom themed courses. - wheelies on bikes should be brought back but nerfed so it’s not a clear winner - a progression system to ease new players into the more difficult tracks (and a track difficulty rating system) - if you need another gimmick, karts could become submarines underwater and could float about - an in-depth stats page for sharpening your skills, this would show you average places for courses, amount of time spent on specific courses, what kart combinations have the highest average placements for you and more I loved all the unique track designs btw, they were all so unique! ❤

[@cabobsstopmotion4983]

awesome stuff

[@The-EJ-Factor]

Shaffrillas would be astonished that Toads factory came back as a retro course. And it works so perfectly with the story gimmick, as it’s the factory where item boxes are made. People have been wondering where the heck it is because it’s a unique and pretty good corse yet was one of the only Wii courses that hasn’t been remade.

[@jmcdonald.1998]

Holy moo moo meadows Cow, this is an insanely well produced video! Congrats and Thank you, I loved it!

[@lolingace3868]

I can’t wait for this to come true! Great research and ideas!

[@BazTheDryBonesFan]

Oh my gosh, this is awesome! I love it! The video was so fun to watch, and the document was so fun to read! These are genius concepts!

[@tacothealien9805]

I think it would be cool if there were different equippable perks, like: - creating a fire hazard every time you release a super drift - getting 10% more speed from coins - increasing a stat (speed, acceleration, weight) - increasing the chance to get a certain item - adding effects to items, like an extra 2 charges to boomerangs

[@Trainlover1995]

Mario Kart 9 can do several things, like reusing the drill idea from Mario Kart 8, having a Double Dash mode, a track creator, and bringing over items from Mario Kart Arcade GP DX like the Black Shell, Gold Shell, Flaming Tender, Heavy Mushroom, Magnet Mushroom, Dizziness Virus, Sticky Oil, and Rabbit Ear.

[@AverageT]

This was such an incredibly good watch. Subscribed and can’t wait for the next one!

[@JeffTheModder]

This is the definition of underrated. The algorithm is cruel.

[@SlurpyTheDog]

Super glad the algorithm recommended this to me, very interesting stuff here. The turbo charge mechanic is very similar to something I came up with myself, but I really love how you implemented the meter building. One of my favorite parts of the video were all the designs of the karts being used. One of my biggest problems with Mario Kart 8 is that a lot of the karts looked pretty boring it was super cool to look at whatever neat little automobile the characters were driving throughout the vid, I really loved em all!

[@_lunartemis]

14:45 - Only issue I have is that 12 of the 24 retro tracks are from the previous game. So basically we only have 3 new retro cups.

[@toxiquid]

That’s fair! I’ll keep it a buck the 8 bias is really real, but in the design document I did list some alternatives!

[@aidinniplays]

I am so confused

[@averageboi]

Your in-betweens for character animations are really popping off! They're great to look at! Also gotta love the Wario money loving, both in his turbo and the drawings of him in various course ideas

[@PheonixCantSpell]

Love this video and the ideas you bring to the table (specifically the black hole portion of Rainbow Road is a sick idea!) but I had a issue with the placements of the retro courses. I feel the track difficulty wasn't fully realize as most of the tracks are in spots that would be a major difficulty curve and/or not so difficult tracks near the ending cups. Here's what I propose: Shell Cup: 1. Thwomp Ruins 2. Toads Factory 3. Frappe Snowland 4. Shy Guy Bazaar Banana Cup: 1. Daisy Circuit 2. Sunshine Airport 3. DK Jungle Parkway 4. Delfino Square Leaf Cup: 1. Mushroom Bridge 2. Wild Woods 3. Wario Shipyard 4. Dry Dry Ruins Cherry Cup: 1. Electrodrome 2. Dino Dino Jungle 3. Lakeside Park 4. Ninja Hideaway Turnip Cup: 1. DK Mountain 2. Sunset Wilds 3. Airship Fortress 4. Mount Wario Lightning Cup: 1. Superbell Subway 2. Moonview Highway 3. SNES Bowser Castle 3 4. DS Rainbow Road It's not perfect but it's the best I can come up with. All the retro tracks were great picks though and I think it'd be one of the best Mario Kart games in terms of track selection! Great video Toxiquid! Hope the you can get the revenue to pay for all those pinboards.

[@kaitlinbennett4181]

1. I don’t think Daisy Circuit is possible because since Baby Daisy wasn’t in your roster, the baby statue would be gone. 2. Funky Stadium with no Funky Kong is a CRIME.

[@kaitlinbennett4181]

Wait… I guess you CAN bring Daisy Circuit back, even without the baby statue. But, we LITERALLY just saw it in the Booster Course Pass.

[@hungryduckling1345]

I actually really like the turbo meter idea

[@kodape1]

Honestly having a remaster of Mario kart wii; or even double dash with a amazing roster of characters. With more strategy involving your character u pick and kart load out. (Also I’ve never liked the zero gravity mechanics idk why I just like normal Mario kart)

[@Monarq_XX]

I’d love for the legendary Starfy to be a character choice “⭐️”

[@elpaka7654]

Great video. I love sticking to a small roster. A lot of these videos have rosters of 50+ characters, which is kind of ridiculous if you ask me. 30 characters is not even a small character roster amd I really love your picks. Would personally like a few more newcomers replacing some of the veterans though. I especially love how much work went into the presentation in this video. The one problem I have is the order of the Retro Tracks. Super Bell Subway is way too hard for an opening track. Out of your picks, the only 6 tracks that have any business being in Shell Cup are Thwomp Ruins, Toad's Factory, Mushroom Bridge, Frappe Snowland, Shy Guy Bazaar and Delfino Square. Mushroom Bridge and Frappe Snowland being placed after tracks like Dry Dry Ruins , Wario Shipyard and Ninja Hideaway is also pretty unbalanced.

[@28Zapper]

Of course I get this now with the preview of Mario kart 9

[@user-ks2ww4bh7f]

[@hued2542]

I don’t get the koopaling hate. I feel they only got bashing was because of the metal variant. They were just the next inevitable target as *clones*

[@SaxoraMcOhn]

I can only speak for the Koopaling haters but the main issue was the extreme overrepresentation they had following NSMB Wii. Seeing them take up 7 Slots for the next big Mario Kart and having the more unique (or less represented) Characters cut was not cool in the eyes of the people. This was ten years ago and while the Koopalings aren't as omnipresent anymore, the resentment is still sticking around. Edit: Personally I dislike the "new" characters a lot more, considering that most are just skins. But the only one I truly hate is Baby Rosalina

[@min_is_mini]

oh this video is REALLY well presented, this was such a fun watch amazing taste too, incredible roster (baby representation is perfect (for me it's either those 3 or nobody) and the newcomers are SO good), your track ideas were great and every single retro track is a banger, i would put all of these in too i think veryvery good video i WILL be watching more from you

[@Kaftuning]

I think another good map idea would be instead of BOWSERS castle, it was a personal play track for BOWSER JR. set in his big playroom like bowsers old playroom from yoshis island

[@awesomeocelot7475]

Nabbit and Poochy wouldn’t be newcomers they were in Tour.

[@jarmoliebrand2005]

Some of the track ideas are kind of similar to ones I had. - Royal Stadium: A Peach inspired introductory stadium with a shortcut through the crowd. - Daisy Orchard: A relatively simple mushroom cup track, but flowery fields give a lot of shortcut opportunities. Plus, different fruits could be dropped during the races, with different effects (an apple might give a speed boost, a cherry might somehow implement the double cherry in a way, a pomegranate might be an explosive, etc.) - Toad’s Excavation Site: Sort of a sequel to Toad’s factory, in a way. There’s machinery to dodge and a lot of tricking opportunities. - Luigi’s Lunar Library: Another spooky Luigi track, but online Luigi’s Mansion/Boston Building, this one is fully indoors. There’d be a gimmick of increasingly more books being flung about and routes that change per lap because of them. Also, as a visual gimmick, the moon could start off blue and get redder during the race. Wario/Waluigi Casino: I also had a casino idea, lol. I’d imagine it to have many branching paths, oftentimes being risk/reward, like… a casino. A particularly difficult alternate path/shortcut in the end would make for frantic endings. There could be a moving roulette turn at the start, which, on the final lap, certain colours would give you certain items (I wrote it down as red: red shell, black: mushroom, green: golden mushroom). Plus, as an aesthetic thing, coins are poker chips. Mario Park: And here goes the theme park idea you also kind of had. I wrote down that it should have a section like those gears on tick tock clock that each go the opposite ways, but with merry go rounds. Then, there’s a roller coaster section (with an active train on it). As an Easter egg, the support could resemble the typical Mario pipes. And there’s a glider section with item boxes that are inside ferris wheel carriages. - Candy River: Different colours of… syrup, I guess, could have different effects. Slowing, shrinking, growing, speeding up or invisibility. - Windswept peaks. You start out at a lake below and climb the side of a mountain with antigravity. The higher you go, the more lighting will strike. Lightning intensified across the laps. And wind could make steering a bit harder. - Wooded Wildfire: Kind of inspired by that Tropical Freeze level here. A wooded area that will become increasingly dangerous. And certain paths from the first lap will become inaccessible, forcing racers to take the same routes as the race goes on. Perhaps this could also be a section course, rather than laps. - DK (Island) Factory: Of the worlds from DKCR, I think the factory would make for the best race course. Maybe, this could be a section track, because I had the idea to implement smog to make for a silhouette level. But that would be annoying for the entirety of the race. Either way, the level could have these hand obstacles (perhaps with a thumbs up/down indicating which way is the best to go). And there could also be an Easter egg attached to finding the switches across all 3 laps/sections. Maybe it gives a bullet bill, or something, but you may have to kind of go out of your way to find the switches. - (Bowser’s) Armada: Not sure yet if I want this to be Bowser (Jr) themed, or not. But it’s a track where you jump from ship to ship. It’s either akin to airship levels, but it could also be a sort of haunted ship thing. This would either be kind of similar to Wario Shipyard, or Airship Fortress, though. Maybe… it could actually turn into a whale watching course. Maybe whales accidentally destroy boats and you have to jump ship. That could a be a section track. - Sand castle collisions: Either, the racers are shrunken down, or the construction is just massive. I think the former might work better. You will drive inside and outside the castle. It being made of sand allows for many shortcuts. Plus, there could be water balloons on the track, which, if popped, makes part of the track crumble/opens walls for even more alternate routes. I also had these level names written down: Sunny Safari, Glistening Grottos, Clifftop Cruise (Cliff, not Cloud, lol). I also had a warehouse kind of idea, with kind of a similar gimmick to Baby Park. You ride on conveyer belts that go faster and faster as the five laps go by. And perhaps a kitchen level, in a similar spirit to Squeaky Clean Sprint.

[@gooeydude574]

I think there should be a track based on a Wario Land game, cause that series is rarely ever utilized

[@littlebigb5370]

The Mini Mushroom could also have its ability in NSMBW to run across the surface of water. A circumstantial ability that only works on mostly beach-themed tracks and one that doesn't work if you use it underwater or get stopped while on it? Perhaps. However, skidding over the water could make some unique shortcuts and allow you to dodge ground hazards like shells, bananas, or whatever stage hazard is under the surface since you would be effectively flying over the race track. I also had an idea for the Warp Whistle. An item that only appears for double digit placed racers that instantly warps them in somewhere viable randomly between the 3rd and 6th place racers. Far enough ahead to turn the game around if you're in last, but not something you could hold onto until last minute and place in the top 3.

[@souffa]

I think a great idea for track gimmicks like the gliders and anti-gravity is making brand new tracks focused on driving ON water, like you got a path underwater but there's a panel or something that can make you drive on water and you choose which path to take. Love the vid btw

[@Shefinanigans]

welp there is another one now

[@TheRealstarkHOUTx]

Instead of a casino, what about… say… 3D World Bowser’s Castle?!

[@thecupcakehey1608]

Would be hype if the mini mushrooms also unlocked shortcuts through tiny holes (Also we need Oddyssey and DK tracks)

[@toxiquid]

bonneton blitz is in the flower cup, and dk colosseum is one that i directly highlighted haha in addition, dk mountain and dk jungle parkway are in the retro tracks :)

[@cabobsstopmotion4983]

All in all, that was so good and now I want to play it. I almost worry I'll be disappointed by the real one...

[@aedge622]

I think a story mode would help to provide some single player content

[@b1ab1b-hexcolor]

5:48 Make the Fake Item Box Roll a Random item "Effect" for example if you get Green Sheel then you're damaged with the Blue Sheel or the Fake Item Box steals you're item and throws it at you if you're hit by it. Those two new Fake Item Boxes and the Old one could have a different coloured Question Marks: White means normal, Gold means The first new Fake Item Box and Purple for the other new Fake Item Box

[@dr.spring67]

If Nintendo was watching this, they would actually love that idea because I absolutely love the idea of a New Mario Kart with character specific abilities, new and returning maps that haven't been made/remade and so on.

[@tea-chugger8137]

One of my ideas for a track was instead of a 3 section course instead having 2 sections where the first lap is about climbing the mountain and the second lap is the mountain ending up being a volcano and exploding and you now have to drive back down the hill down a similar path to previously but with new parts and potential obstacles originated by the explosion. I just want more reasons to drive down the same path as others but the other direction like in Luigi Circuit GCN or certain parts of the Booster Course City Tracks.

[@mr_tree5291]

The "Turbo Charge" idea is cool, but that's pretty much Chocobo GP and I don't see them ripping off the competition. Also call it recency bias, but now I really want a Concordia track where you glide from island to island.

[@toxiquid]

@@WaddleMoogle I’ve never played Chocobo GP! Oops haha- must be a fun case of parallel thinking :P I’m finally able to play brothership since this project is wrapped up, but from the little I’ve played, I’m inclined to agree

[@WaddleMoogle]

@toxiquid that's understandable, nobody played it, that game's live service flopped hard and was discontinued within a year. It's a decent bargain bin kart racer, you could do a lot worse. Also now that I think about it, supers are also the main gimmick behind the Disney live service kart racer, but I don't know much about that one.

[@toxiquid]

@ well how about that

[@NickReyes-vd2ke]

[@heathcandy]

My idea for the gimmick would be track morphing or taking a rift to new part and then rift back or something along those lines. maybe a connection to the wonder flower or changing the track as you go or for others.

[@Xavier-hn8tl]

Cool idea for a race track where at the start of the race a roulette will be spun and whatever it lands on will be the gimmick for that race

[@b19wing_inslowmotion]

I need this in the next Mario Kart game

[@MarioKartGamerDude]

Amazing work, how long did it take to make this! Also, new sub!

[@toxiquid]

I’ve been working on the idea for around 13 months, and production really started around 6 months ago. There was a lot that I cut from this video that I put in the design document :)

[@delfinodolphinsquad910]

I actually had an item idea, based on CPU exclusive items from Super Mario Kart, both are trap items as I feel like we don't have a lot of items as "obstacles". First is a Poison mushroom, visually similar yet distinct from the Mushroom item, it's rare, but once placed, it stays idly or could slowly crawl in the direction of oncoming racers, shrinking them on contact with the usual penalties from a Lightning Bolt, with the main difference being that you don't lose your current item from running into it. The second item, technically 2-in-1, is the Li'l Sparky/Hothead, based on the Fireball item Bowser could drop in SMK, it can be held out, causing it to revolve around the player, if it tanks a hit while it's a Li'l Sparky, it'll grow bigger into a Hothead, when placed, it acts as an obstacle, moving around in a circle (Fast if it's small, slower when it's large)

[@dawsy1000]

[@IronBlaze77]

11:02: “Chain Chomp Wheel,” a battle map from Mario Kart Wii, already exists.

[@kingdanett4043]

If we're dealing with portals I think it would be awesome to have cross track races where a Portal will just appear and when a player gets into it it places portals in front of every other racer pulling them into a completely different track, putting them where they would be if they were racing on that new track but the racer who went through the portal gets sent a little further ahead.

[@kingdanett4043]

Dang I have too many new Mario Kart ideas. One of the gimmicks i was thinking of was course based. Each course has dynamic features about them, you would race into action blocks and they'd do something to the environment or give you an ability tied to the track. They feel kinda like the action pieces with hot wheels sets, there maybe a shortcut that gets blocked off if someone hits a block on the outside of the cut, one could give you a grapple hook you swing from for that part of the course, one could make a building fall split second style. There's already hints of this like hitting the yoshi cloud causing the red bridge to appear

[@melvint-p9500]

This is a really good video! Great job!

[@Shadow-Joop-157]

I also see Nintendo going in the opposite direction of your idea, Making a Mario Kart game all about other Nintendo franchises, expanding the ideas of Mario Kart 8 and 8 Deluxe, basically making a Mario Kart Smash. I don't think every Mario multiplayer spin-off franchises are going to take the Smash Bros route, I don't think Mario Party or the sports games are going to do that, but Mario Kart is a game franchise that I can see going towards that direction.

[@WubbaizyShipper1]

I really hope it doesn't Honestly.

[@bigchungus6853]

I agree mostly but I think you could at least keep the koopalings and funky kong also personally I'd like to see more characters from the mario RPGs. There's mallow and geno, which would be cool, but I know they're not possible since square enix technically owns them. But then also I think some characters from mario and luigi like cackletta, fawful, midbus, etc. would be neat, could even include paper mario

[@12Metatron]

I think the super moves probably won't be equal, which makes some characters too much stronger than others

[@brownsfan3290]

I was scared with that roster cut that my boy Diddy Kong wouldn’t make it

[@misterzygarde6431]

I always thought that Mario Kart should just pull from the other spin-offs. While the general audience wouldn't recognize someone like Fawful or Geno, they'd probably think, oh look a new character.

[@shadicTPZ]

You don't even have GBA Rainbow Road, N64 Wario Stadium (you know, the FINAL N64 track to not be remade yet), or even the pattern of the 4th Star Cup track from a few games ago as the penultimate retro track. I can understand the first and last ones (to a degree), but not adding the last N64 track left?

[@metawarp7446]

I've thought for the while that the next gimmick could be a "course maker" mode. The turbo charges have potential too though! They might be easier to balance than karts and characters, because there's counterplay between them. I think one tool that could help in balancing the TCs would be every character having two versions of them: essentially a noob and pro version. That way a character can be appealing newcomers but also be viable in high level play.

[@metawarp7446]

Btw, subbed!

[@ofalltrades1707]

no baby park 0/10 seriously tho this is absolutely amazing. best mario kart concept i’ve seen yet

[@slateoffate9812]

Idea: a Mario Kart game based around pre-established locations in the franchise: I'll be sticking with the usual 8 cups cause I dunno what to name the extra 4. Mushroom Cup: 1: Peach's Castletown 2: Mario Circuit(this time based on World 1 in NSMB DS/Wii, rather than Peach's Castle) 3: Luigi Woods(actually lively, to contrast the Ghost Houses he's typically associated with) 4: Yoshi Mountain(based on Yoshi Island's iconic Blue Mountain) Flower Cup: 1: Sarasa Circuit(all four kingdoms in one track) 2: Diamond Secrets(a mix of Wario Ware and Wario Land) 3: Waluigi's Court(a tennis themed track) 4: Wonder Flower Mayhem(like your idea, but trippier) Star Cup: 1: Delfino Coast(a composite track celebrating Sunshine) 2: Rosalina's Galaxy 3: Sprixie Carnival 4: Lake Lapcat Special Cup: 1: Subcon Surprise 2: New Donk Construction 3: Acorn Outskirts 4: Rainbow Road Shell Cup: 1: DS Luigi's Mansion 2: Wii Grumble Volcano 3: DS Airship Fortress 4: Bowser's Castle(I don't know which one) Banana Cup: 1: 3DS DK Jungle 2: GCN Sherbet Land 3: Wii Alpine Cross or whatever it's called(Funky Kong replaces DK's statue) 4: Wii U Wild Woods Leaf Cup: 1: DS Dry Dry Desert 2: 3DS Music Park 3: Wii U Superbell Subway 4: GCN Baby Park or something I dunno. Lightning Cup: 1: Wii U Mario Kart Stadium 2: SNES Mario Circuit(or one of them. Also reimagined with an emphasis on the surrounding multicolored blocks.) 3: Wii Toad Factory 4: Wii U Rainbow Road I'd also bring back personal vehicles. Roster: Mario: Standard Kart(Kart 8 style) Luigi: Standard Kart(Kart 8 style, but with blue tires) Toad: Mach 8(the coloring fits him) Yoshi: Egg 1 Peach: Prancer or Daytripper(Daytripper doesn't look right to me for some reason) Daisy: Circuit Skyline(a hybrid between Daisy's Circuit Special and a Pop Plane. Also Daisy's wearing her biker gear) Rosalina: Shooting Star Pauline: Red Taxi Toadette: Whatever kart Peach doesn't get. Koopa Troopa: Koopa Dasher Shy Guy: Pipe Frame. Dry Bones: Para Wing(make of that what you will) Kamek: Star Broom Bowser Jr: Koopa Clown Bowser: Koopa Car from 3D World, but simplified. King Boo(Luigi's Mansion design): Black Carriage Donkey Kong: DK Jumbo Diddy Kong: Hat Bike(inspired by 8's Standard Bike, which to me looked like a hat) Wario: Wario Tripod(hybrid between Wario's Land Car and Ware Bike) Waluigi: Waluigi Racer Mk. 2 Mii: F-Zero Racer(a less specific F-Zero vehicle)
