Reacting to Mckirty's Mario Kart 10 Concepts

[@zeroddor2665]

I honestly love people creating their own concept art of original tracks. Like this looks sick!

I think it's REALLY cool that this McKirty guy is giving us design sketches on his course ideas and intricate details on how they work. Some of the ideas themselves are neat as well. There's of course the whole "Place, Japan" bit with Lakitu Gardens, but I'm really into the idea of Hotel Mario that is obviously referencing the infamous game in name, but NOT necessarily in design. I also really love that he's using the different-track-layout thing from the Tour courses in his fanmade courses, re-implements Feather shortcuts, AND brings back the R and T variants (but sadly not the R/T ones). My course ideas just boil down to things like "Minecart Carnage" (a DKC cave-themed course where you drive past Mole Miners and Krashes, as well as glide over a water stream while avoiding the Mega Squeekly from Crowded Cavern that got stuck in the middle; course music would be "Mine Menace", the rocket barrel theme), "Squid Sisters Circuit (Splatoon-based course at night a la Splatfests, course music would be "Calamari Inkantation" plus "City of Color", and maybe "Bomb Rush Blush" and "Tide Goes Out"), and a new version of Bowser's Castle (which would be a long, three-segmented course, each based on a Bowser world of a different game: segment 1 would be based on World Bowser/Bowser Land from Super Mario 3D World with a lot of amusement park vibes and rides, with an oriental dark ride entrance being a natural segue to segment 2, based on the Japan-inspired Bowser's Castle from Super Mario Odyssey, while segment 3 would be based on Castle Bowser from Super Mario Bros Wonder and be like a mixture of a factory and a rock concert, which then loops back to segment 1 and ends the course).

Wow, this is cool! Im gonna do this! (No i wont)

Im hoping the feather returns and jumping is utilized as a main mechanic in the next Mario Kart. It would fit so well since Mario is all about the jumps, and the tracks could be more varied vertically like Ninja Hideaway. They should add a second item which also jumps to make it more common. I'd say it should be the Goomba Shoe, which flattens another player if you land on them.

What I'd probably do if I wanted to introduce more Tour elements to mainline Mario Kart is have normal tracks which generally have normal driving, underwater driving, and aerial gliding, with more anti-gravity sections + laps where you drive through different sections showing up more often in the latter cups, then 150cc Mirror Mode gets replaced by 150cc Trick Mode where every track gets more boosts, ramps, halfpipes, and anti-gravity sections, maybe even more drastic changes as you get to the latter cups like a hypothetical track set in a forest with a big tree where, instead of the normal track driving through the forest and on and through the big tree in three normal laps, it becomes a three-section one lap track where you race up the big tree to the top using boosts, ramps, anti-gravity sections, and more. (Mirror Mode becomes a toggle instead.) Probably have one of the earlier Mushroom Cup tracks have this kind of drastic change to hint to the player that you're going to have more of that latter on.

I think overall these tracks feel nice, albiet sometimes a bit confusing to understand the layout, however I do believe that they work well. Meanwhile I think that when people were discussing about how the trick/reverse variants would be placed in the game, I think it's as simple as making it like a mirror mode sort of thing, where it's an option that just uses 100/150cc and changes the tracks. (Absolute Cinema)

Im ngl, as much as i would love to see T variants, i think that was just a tour thing since you maintain your combos for higher points, and tricks help you get points, but i feel like if they do add t variants, it has to at most be unlockable or something, because Tours trick ramps have no fences so i feel like having trick variants lockable, they cant go too crazy with their ramps on mushroom-flower cup tracks, they can tend to get crazier with the ramps with Star-Special but, thats just my opinion, but id love to see the T variant system make a return also we dont talk about GBA Bowser's Castle 3 R/T 🙃

[@Mr_Stone71]

Erm, is this peak? It just might be hehe I just can’t wait for the other cups :3

[@jorgeJP10]

The first would've been cooler if it was just called "Super Circuit"

[@SMPSMLParodies_]

we should get a sky high sundae sequel, bascially you race in one giant ice cream bowl in the sky and the track can be called "Rocky Road"
