I think they are going to be using a lot from tour. *character + customers *karts/bikes/atv no customization but everyone could use. * I hope we also get the items from tour also like character specific. * also for the boost no one is thinking about it but I thing mkTV going to be more like how the camera is in tour. Cause the camera is following Mario only just different angles. As well as the boost which is y only we see Mario's glow, and y all the characters are bundled up together so closely(u can do that in tour).

[@Swiftjar]

⁠@@Astred_starI love that they will be. Mario Kart Tour in my opinion was underrated by a mile. I hope they bring everything over from Tour while making lots more new! Check out Nin10lands fund raiser I featured on last month! I specified it all there. So I hope so!!

[@Astred_star]

@@Swiftjar omg fr my take exactly, I loved tour I thought it was so much potential

[@FranciscoGarcia-tm8nh]

@@Swiftjar yay 😀 mario kart 9

[@Folutu]

With how large the circuit track looks on top of it apparently being a possible first Mushroom Cup track, I was thinking that maybe #ccs could make it so only parts of the track are driven on depending on your engine choice. So a shorter and simpler track layout for 50cc, and then longer and more complex routes get opened the higher numbered ccs you go with. The shining item might also be a fuel tank, which indicates that boosting is probably the new mechanic (and given that Mario's boost looks more powerful compared to the others, this would make sense). With speed boosts and probably even Mushroom and Mini-Turbos tied to a new mechanic, it seems the devs are attempting to balance out the Mini-Turbo dominance of MK8 Deluxe.

[@markyeditz]

I love how they just casually dropped a trailer for their most anticipated console. It’s such a Nintendo thing to do

[@Swiftjar]

I for one did NOT expect a random drop. I thought it would have been planned in advance. Nintendo be Nintendo lol!

Sounds like you are using a new mic. Clean. It feels so good to be back,one year after the bcp. I've missed the Mariokart Series and the Speculations.

[@Swiftjar]

Yeah! I've got a whole new set-up since the BCP days. Feels a lot more natural to record now. I'm glad it's noticeable! Plenty to come! And lots of gameplay/streams to.

[@JuanFe4dz]

If the tracks can switch between daytime and nighttime, it would be the perfect opportunity for them to include GBA Sunset Wilds as a retro track, and overcome the controversy it had in the Booster Couse Pass

[@Swiftjar]

Yup! And Lakeside Park! Both could do with a 2025 remake. I'm interested to see how it would go with 24 racers though..... Seems like some big modifications will be needed.

[@JuanFe4dz]

@Swiftjar Oh, Lakeside Park... I would love to see a remake in this new artstyle too, but the GBA track I most want to see, is Rainbow Road, it needs to be in the game

[@mrjack3855]

Road trip mode. Go on a road trip

[@UltimateJM_22]

I think it’s more likely that there’s a day mode and night mode on the track in the trailer. It could work like Animal Crossing in that sense. That doesn’t rule out the possibility of Sunset Wilds getting a redemption arc, but yeah.

If this track did get a night-time variant where there were frozen patches on the track due to deserts freezing at night time it would be awesome. Time of day variants and dynamic weather are something I've wished for in Mario Kart since forever.

[@Swiftjar]

This would be epic!

Moving traffic courses reminiscent of Shroom Ridge from MKD, Mushroom Bridge from MKDD and even Berlin Byways from MKT!

[@Swiftjar]

You know it!

[@KartLife]

Your observation about the streetlights and lamps is probably the most massive take in this video. Good call-- this has major implications for day/night shifts for the tracks which is one of my MOST wanted things. I also think the physics of the karts are going to be a HUGE change, with them tilting off the ground constantly as we're seeing. I'll save other comments for a potential video chat of my own :)

[@cpcantimark]

honestly would be super cool if there was even just some kinda setting similar to how wii sports resort had afternoon, evening, and nighttime options for many of its sports, but for these tracks

[@Swiftjar]

Yeah! It's definitely something I've been thinking about. If it’s true I can't wait to see how it's implemented! So many little details in here that just make me smile. Ps your video was great!

[@JAL1403]

I’m excited to have so much more to analyse on this channel!! Especially when it comes to Mario kart!

[@Swiftjar]

Same here! I can’t wait to keep making them. So much fun.

[@bbrgwrdt19]

The one thing I'm hoping for from this game is for an option to choose from preset karts and not to scroll through all the parts to find either something I like or something with good stats. I want to be able to just pick up the game and pick a kart and go.

[@Swiftjar]

Totally! It can be overwhelming! I’m happy with either as long as there’s lot of options.

[@Swiftjar]

@@LandonEmma I’m sure it’ll be in there!

[@Switcheroo4542]

Releasing the new Mario Kart without drafting because "we forgot" would be hilarious

[@LandonEmma]

@ I mean most people when they cover mechanics introduced in each game everyone forgets drafting, it’s kinda like only the best casuals and all professionals know about it cause there are tracks that can heavily change online if you draft, however what if they removed drafting, there are 24 players and we can see all of them in the trailer very packed together, so that would make drafts more common and kinda ruin the point.

[@adianlmao]

imagine n64 wario stadium with 24 racers! make it happen nintendo!

[@Swiftjar]

That would be nuts! I’d love it

[@chanwalk161]

Really hope this new entry is the actual “everyone is here” game (more so on the Mario side for the roster). I feel like if this game is going to have 24 racers per track, which is the same amount of characters that were in Wii’s roster, then this new roster should be big enough to include all playable Mario characters that were in past entries.

[@Swiftjar]

I hope so to! It would almost need to have a HUGE roster as 24 racers is massive. Whether that's done through more skins/characters IDK. But, having both would be epic.

[@TicTacToeCraft]

​@@asoiaf__ We definitely won't get 96 tracks at launch. Don't get your hopes up.

[@soul71000]

They should add Shantae, Zelda, Samus, and Team Fox.

[@harrybest2041]

The roster does not matter in the Mario Kart series as much as the Super Smash Bros. series because all characters play almost identically.

[@jcastYT]

​@harrybest2041 yeah but they still have their own looks and animations even if they share stats.

I find it funny when i come across someone who says "this game doesn't look like a copy pasted mario kart 8 and isn't hyper realistic therefore this game looks bad." If you wanted mario kart 8 graphics, go play mario kart 8. If your want a hyper realistic racer game, go play forza. Ranting aside, I'm excited to see what this game can offer.

[@johnnymind4151]

Great analysis as usual, I'm so glad the game shown during the Switch 2 trailer is a new Mario Kart also because it means we're back with these on your channel other than of course in itself - can't wait to see more of it (most certainly on April 2) and watching your future videos about it, too! 3:57 Nintendo Life pointed out that the Mario Motors font is the same as the one from Famicom Grand Prix II, such a cool detail!

[@Swiftjar]

It’s really looking great. I am so damned hyped up now. easily my most anticipated game in years!

[@BurgerSoup]

Looking at Rosalina's tires being so different and specific to her kart I feel like this time tires won't be customizable, everyone else also seem to have standard tires that look ever so slightly different from each other (except Bowser who has a monster truck-like vehicle) Maybe instead of tires we get to customize something else, something new?

[@treinenliefde]

Honestly I'm unsure, customisations have become a big part of Mario Kart, I feel. I don't think they ever removed such a big element introduced in older games. I'd expect them to make a hybrid approach, with perhaps certain vehicles being 'all in one' packages instead of being customizable.

[@BurgerSoup]

@treinenliefde Yeah that may be the approach here

[@ToonTris]

Great video Swiftjar!! You noticed a few things I missed myself, like the coins! I also like your perspective on customization, including how it may affect other stats and bonuses such as the boost from dash panels. Hadn't thought of that before! Well done~

[@andrealorenzini5099]

Seeing the length of the road, I'm thinking that this Mario Kart will have a tour mode when you don't run in circuits, but you go through many stages like a coast to coast trip, as a Cruise'n USA game

[@Mailpaper06]

I'm really interested how the tracks work in this game. In that little teaser we saw arrows blocking another road so that shows us the lap change gimmick is here and we see a big loop in the back pointing at antigravity, but then it's kinda just an empty road with no real sign of turning around, so is it actually a completed track or just something whipped up to show them driving? Either way it's gonna be super fun playing this game. 8DX is great and it got double the amount of tracks, but it's been 10 years and it's kinda stale, and since we got backwards compatibility 8DX will most likely work on the Switch2, so I see them only doing new retro tracks since a lot of returning ones in 8DX would be on the console, giving us 2 Mario Kart games with a selection of repeating tracks all on a single device, and it'd add more variety from 8DX and see some big tracks finally return like DS Bowser Castle or Wii Toad's Factory.

[@Swiftjar]

Yeah! I agree. I’m confused with the floating island to. Unless it’s a cannon that shoots you up with a glider that takes you down.

[@Mailpaper06]

@@Swiftjar That could possibly be it, maybe it's gonna be like shooting up to the side of a canyon but the track just isn't fully finished so it's just awkwardly floating there. I also wonder if that big long road we see could eventually be blocked in the middle and a lap change could take you the other way, since it's a long stretch of nothing and the road is pretty wide even for 24 players.

[@chriskyriacou862]

[@megamarvelousmarty]

[@judynblackwell]

Yeah, I'm definitely expecting a huge roster. If they bring back all of the MK8 characters(sans guests) and sprinkle the remaining cut tour characters (Dixie, Nabbit, ect) on top- then I'll be golden. All my faves would be in at launch. Haha, talk about a surreal feeling if that does pan out!

[@wootmasterzorsx]

I’m really looking forward to seeing more on Mario Kart. I want to learn the odds and ends of everything from the tracks to characters and the gimmicks for this Mario Kart. Especially how retro tracks will be handled, provided they even return. We should assume they will, but given the 24 racers, they’d need radical redesigns to work and you know that old saying about assuming. Also, I do hope we get costumes for the characters like Tour, that was definitely a cool addition. Same with reverse tracks- would be real fun to see brought that concept brought in. Even if I never played Tour, I can fully admit, it had some good ideas that I’m really hoping to see in a home console release. And speaking of Tour, and also Splatoon… I wouldn’t be super surprised if we saw the game get supported over time with free updates. Like, one month you get a few new racers, a couple costumes, and maybe even a new set of tracks. Though I’d also be expecting paid DLC for a bunch of tracks and maybe characters and costumes, a la the Booster Course Pass. But whatever the case… we have 15 seconds, one track, and I already am excited thinking of what more stuff they can add, lol. And just happy to see some old school Nintendo trailer analysis stuff from everyone again. We get 15 seconds and everyone stretches that to 15-30 minutes, lol!

[@Swiftjar]

I agree with all of this. I’ve been loving the last 48 hours and watching everyone’s videos

This is what we have been waiting for for so long a new Mariokart. Even tho we only saw a very small snippet loved the overall look and the detail we saw. If thats the first track and a circuit one imagine what all of the other tracks will look like. 24 players is going to be insane and can’t wait to see all the new gimmicks this game will bring. Really hope we can choose different skins with the characters and still customise the karts. I guess we will find out a lot more in the direct in April. Sooo excited to see more😊🥳

[@Swiftjar]

I’m in the same boat my friend. I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. Much before the BCP. My ideal world is a trailer with a Pianta Driver, E Gadd and Bandit! Just whack characters like that. Lots of spectators around the course and more of what we saw!

[@Bennyboymuk8]

[@ueMelvin.a]

I think it looks a bit like Tour

[@Swiftjar]

Some parts for sure. Graphics wise no way!

[@anthony2987]

10:44 I really hope this is actually the case, because that’s the main thing I really liked in Mario Kart Tour! 11:01 I thought the same thing, too. The graphics of this new Mario Kart art style seem a slight bit more cartoony than Mario Kart 8 (I don’t know, Mario Kart 8’s graphics seemed to have more of that realistic look to it for me, which I liked), which May at first feel like a slight step back for me, but still, very polished overall! I suppose a slight step back to a slightly more cartoonish look is necessary sometimes for the graphics to really stand out (sort of like the jump from the New Super Mario Bros series to Mario Wonder), but still, I like it! The better of both. 12:32 It’d be really neat if the kart interactions with respect to the weight stat worked like in older Mario Kart games. This may seem mean, but I used to like how in older Mario Kart games, larger and heavier karts could REALLY bump or send other lighter karts flying off the track, especially Mario Kart DS, the first one I ever played - it was hilarious! 😂

[@max16one]

The thin pipes in the Finish Line are on the left and right side as if it were a shortcut, and some containers in a row, where you can surely walk over them, the Grind technique like skaters do when they slide down pipes or I see similar surfaces in Mario Kart, apparently we will have areas of a lot of snow, boats, hopefully some gliders. I think what they showed has to do with some story mode, the game must be the biggest thing Nintendo has ever made.

What if the new mario Kart has limitations per racers in certain courses. Maybe this course has 24, and if a retro course returns, the number of racers may be less than 24, becuase remaking the retro course is not impossible but i just think its best to keep its layout the same.

[@TheBadElf]

I don't think it's good to make wider tracks to accommodate for more racers. I don't like the added tracks in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because they're too wide. There's no point dropping bananas or firing shells backwards on wide tracks as it's too easy for opponents to dodge them. Narrow tracks are always more chaotic which makes them fun.

[@TicTacToeCraft]

I'm hoping for the 24-racer gameplay to be an additional mode with dedicated tracks that are intentionally wider. I don't think this track would work at all with just 12 racers (from the looks of it).

[@travisalbright2501]

8:47 I want to think that we will have different layouts for the same circuit, not like in the booster course pass city tracks. You will be able to select the layout you want, it is interesting, but I feel that it would make the game very repetitive, but I don't know. Btw, I don't think antigravity is coming back to this game :(

[@David-jl3nd]

I could do with a Switch2. It'd help me play with my buddy!

[@Swiftjar]

Get on it

[@axe6181]

I hope we see some new interesting characters like E Gadd 👀

[@Swiftjar]

That’s my biggest want I think! I think! It’s hard. There’s a few.

[@erickfreeman424]

does the new switch let you play with the old official Nintendo switch controller?

[@Swiftjar]

Not sure. I hope so!

[@youngdolph8867]

Altho DK's 'new' look is likely from the movie, I first saw it on the cover art of Super Smash Bros 64.

[@Swiftjar]

Yup! It’s also very reminiscent of his arcade design

[@FireMemes-OG]

[@Swiftjar]

[@olucasb93]

[@Swiftjar]

[@Sauxeaholic]

Nintendo give me 24 racers and baby park and my life is yours

[@Swiftjar]

Oh my! I need to see that

[@stapidomcazfaikeurmom4935]

It's a trailer, they want us to see all of it.

[@drewsteroni6440]

As a Utahn, I’m loving this desert highway aesthetic. Thanks for the video!

[@Swiftjar]

It looks gorgeous!

[@roundy471]

Can't wait for this to launch!

[@Nate9-9]

Will retro tracks work with 24 karts? Seems like most of them would be too crowded .

[@kartbros3700]

i hope so

[@Swiftjar]

They can make it work

[@martinmajewski]

Open-World Mario Kart! 😎

[@Swiftjar]

Totally possible

[@FreeAimDog]

mario kart 64 brings back memories, i remember murdering my father because he would not get me that game and when i got it myself i played it and realized it was right for me to play it and because of that and koopa troopa beach and kalamari desert i'll always remember it.

[@Nicholas-nu9jx]

Hopefully theres at least 50 starting characters.

[@Swiftjar]

I hope so to
