There wont be any boss fights, and YOU know it

There wont be any boss fights, and YOU know it.

mario kart boss fights

Pepe.jpg

Were there boss fights in other entries? I think I remember King Goomba or something like that in one of them.

the big vehicles like the truck or the helicopter last 20 (twenty) seconds and are essentially pure visual gimmicks that don't add anything to the gameplay

bravo kojima

There's gonna be lots of boss fights

i'm so sick of open world trendchasing. adding it to fucking mario kart is so dumb lmao, the formula fucking works why waste development time on a zoomer gimmick mode?

This guy bought MK8 five times already and is mad there isn't a Switch 2 port.

There are boss fights in Mario Kart?

there's a lot of things they could have done instead of ripping off forza horizon for their kart racer.

Yes.

I don't know it, there might be bosses like mario kart DS, there might not be

ALL I WANTED WAS KAMEK
AND THEY WOULDN'T GIVE HIM TO ME
JUST A KAMEK

Ah, so I was right.

Who cares about boss fights in racing games? You want them to add an entirely new racer into the game then not let you play as them?

MKDS was too good for this world.

Diddy Kong Racing had them.

Who cares about open world in racing games?

ftfy

add Jump mechanic

don't make Mario Kart tracks with platforming in mind

This makes so much sense for Mario Kart that I'm baffled they haven't done it yet

I mean they could have it so you unlock them after beating the boss

YOU'LL PLAY THROUGH THE SAME YEAR OF STAGES IN MARIO KART TOUR AND YOU'LL LIKE IT (since it has kamek)

Yea, Wii had its own mission mode of sorts, but they were limited-time online events, but some of them were boss battles

QUACK QUACK

nothing, they're cosmetics like the big vehicles

You’re crazy if you think there won’t be missions like “vehicular manslaughter 10 toads using the semi in 30 seconds”

sounds insanely boring

don’t give a fuck about your opinion, just pointing out that you’re retarded

woah there calm down mario cuck, not everyone is coping and trying to justify spending 90 dollaridoos for a party game

You’re coping by trying to pretend obvious missions won’t exist, then pivoting to “b-but that’s boring anyway!” Just be poor, it’s okay, no need for the mental gymnastics

i dont care about the price or the gimmicks but the roster has so many retarded choices. im glad there arent day one crossover choices but a coin purse? a snow man? luigi's mansion, wario ware and mario rpg have so many great character options

Such as?

I want to be FORCED to use them, not maybe have to use them to waste time in an optional pathway.

I'm assuming those "random" enemy/miscellaneous drivers are unlocked in their corresponding tracks where they're originally setpieces.

I like random goons over the deep cut “literal who”s, but I also get some schadenfreude from autists who hyperbolically whine about things like that. Very glad the koopalings got the boot

What? Of course there aren't going to be bosses, you stupid slut. It's Mario Kart.

Isn't he an item now lol

How many goddamed times to we have to go through this? The RPG characters are NEVER going to appear in anything outside of the RPGs. Nintendo wants that genre firmly in its own alternate universe with no connection to the other genres.

Those paths will be faster. That’s why all of these actions build boost. Having little gaps you need to jump over in the main path isn’t necessary if the optimal path requires platforming

I always felt there was a massive lack of wa-peach and wa-daisy, and the best versions of them I ever saw were Leech and Lazy, with Leech being Wario's greedy girlfriend who only wants gold and jewels, which is why they get along, and Lazy being Waluigi's sunken-eyed rotten neet gamer girlfriend. Sick concept.

Those “missions” amount to small challenges here and there for no reward.

you realise the mario kart DS missions were like that too and were fun

Wapeach - stupid design and concept as she is - was supposed to be for Tennis. Like Waluigi, except he ended up having staying power but is still irrelevant outside of anything in the series but spin-offs where they need to fill out the roster. Like Daisy, except they wanted to add another female character in Wonder and also to keep the bitching in check.

Because Mario Kart DS was fun. This game looks like shit, all the courses are straight lines, and has forced gimmicks nobody asked for or cares about.

This game looks like shit

nah

I've got the switch 2 and DK preordered but I'm not paying for this gimmicky memegame, keep trying to convince yourself that it's worth it

no yuo dont get it you can run over le cars with big truck is so fun!!!!

same IQ as the game's price

it absolutely does

lol I don’t give a fuck, idiot

No racing game has ever been or will ever be as cool as Diddy Kong Racing, that game is literally

How do racing games work?

IDK make a collectathon and add cars

you're obviously seething, sad!

Enjoy crying about this game for months!

nah

It looks kind of fun IMO. I play mario kart just to have fun with friends

Shame, because that would've easily justified the $80 in my eyes.

Yep, and there was dick all variety and it mostly took place on the tracks. mariokart.fandom.com/wiki/Mission_Mode
Still was fun.
This game has more mechanics to work with and much more variety in terrain that could be designed specifically to fit the missions. It’ll be a good time

yah

final nail for me was that vid from wadsm where he goes in depth about the core gameplay and it's just what I feared, they further watered it down for their braindead audience and there's nothing interesting in the driving

snaking is useless, soft drifting is gone, even the charge jumps in straight lines doesn't make you go faster, rail grinding is basically a contextual script, it's shit

I love how people can't seem to find any flaws so they constantly harp about a price that's a whole ten or twenty dollars more than what most Switch game prices are and still less expensive than what many games have been throughout gaming history.

Snaking was for spastics, and you’re supposed to use the charge jump to then bounce off of other shit and trick to get the additional speed, nimbnuts

How would YOU make the open world compelling?

I can't think of another solution besides P-Switches. They're ultimately Tony Hawk-style challenges, and I can't think of a better gameplay formula for open world arcadey racing games.

Yes, clearly we know the meta and high-level play intricacies of this game already after people have played for an hour max and are locked into smart steering.

The game should've come with more tracks. It's not a fair comparison since MK8 ended up with nearly a decade of support, but a couple more cups in the base wouldn't have killed them.

There’s really no better solution. We already gave multiple ways to do normals races, so contextual challenges are perfect for an open world. P switches loading in mission objects improves performance by reducing load, allows you to use the same space for multiple missions without them conflicting, and prevents a bunch of bullshit from clogging up paths and making normal driving a pain. The only drawback is that idiots who can’t put two and two together think the world is empty, despite being told how there are hundreds pf these things. Nintendo should make them more prominent in ads to compensate for people’s stupidity.

w-wait for the switch2 presentation it doesn't look lbad it's youtube compression!!

it's shit

w-wait for the mario kart direct we haven't seen anything!!

it's shit

w-wait to play it surely it's more interesting than what they've shown!!

etc etc

i think the goons are great but they lose their charm when overrepresented. the bee, the ladybug and the bone fish specifically

The last mario kart game I remember having bosses was that one on Nintendo DS and it had a Pirahnha plant thing on that map with 8 laps.

there are hundreds pf these things

this is exactly why people are worried you braindead pajeet shill

the fact there are hundreds of them means they're going to copypaste a handful of scenarios all over the map and that you'll find exactly the same shit to in the snow area as in the desert area as in the beach area, they've done that in zelda, they've done that in 3D mario they're obviously going to do that in this garbage

also it's not our job to start fantasizing about hypothetical gameplay scenarios that'd be interesting they should have shown more missions and more interesting ones instead of two insanely boring and basic challenges

It’s also not 1 to 1, since they designed a ton of shit into the world, like the SNES book tracks. So a lot of the work goes to waste on people who only want to VS race
I wonder if DLC tracks will necessitate new islands, KO tours and missions or if they won’t bother

insane that you think the price is justified just for adding niche characters only autists care about and not for like the size/scope of the game being massively different and bigger than any previous mario kart entry... is it contrarianism or rosterfag retardation?

Mario fell for the Open World Meme

In his Kart racer no less

That’s what racing games inherently are, you dumbfuck. The same objective in different locations. God, you really lack any sort of mental capabilities

snoys are so mindbroken that they're now making up random shit and claiming the game is bad because it doesn't have [random shit]

This, the game should be about nothing but the exact same things the other Karts did, never do anything new, never try anything different, never EVER anger us. Super MArio Kart was where the series peaked and every game after has spit in your faces harder and harder with all the tranny faggot shit Nintendo shoves into them for the sake of looking cool and hip.

I rather just keep playing MK8

errrrrm mindless copypasted busy work is fine sweatie because... because it just is, ok??? that'll be 110 bucks

the absolute state of mariokartsissies

Is this the only time Nintendo ever allowed an RPG character in their other spinoff games?

you mean I’m just supposed to get first on all of these tracks?! Where’s the objective variety?!

Cute sperg shit to avoid this sinple contradiction that ruins your whole argument lol

Remember, these people will bounce around between various different "complaints" solely to pretend to be angry and shit themselves on Anon Babble about the game.

you mean I’m just supposed to get first on all of these tracks?!

that's obviously not my argument, you're either too stupid to get what I said or a disingenuous jew, either way concession and dilation accepted

Nah what the fuck is actually going on with those transformations though

I put hundreds of hours into DS playing against my friends in grade school but I never knew there were boss fights. I played the mission mode but barely remember it, I don't think I got very far

I don't even believe any of that. I just think it's stupid to say tech like snaking doesn't exist when the bullshit smart steering is on.

it's just mindless distractions, like jingling keys in front of an infant which is exactly what this game's audience wants

"I love how people can't seem to find any flaws"

tons of flaws are being mentioned in this very thread

ok, tardo

Yes, people crying about how the new tricks and abilities are all worthless gimmicks being forced on us because "Waaaah it's not like the other Karts I hate new old good!", lying over and over again about "Waaaah the tracks are all straight lines!", and crying about no RPG characters are really pointing out the "flaws".

That was king goomba, and it was 5 laps. Hell even in DD and 8 it was only 7

Will there be Anon Babble lobbies on launch?

t-they don't count and surely if I type waaaah my fellow mongoloid mariokarters will find it convincing!!!

lmao

They don't count when you have people acting like the meta is solved before the game is even out

Pmuch. I don't see why anyone is expecting this shit to be another other than a complete copypasta of the Forza Sloprizon games with a Bing Bing skin.
You're gonna have the same "smash the billboards", sweet jumps, and all that standard shit all the FH games have.

Can’t even do lobbies anymore, they scrapped tournaments

They might've put it on the friends section
The lobbies that is, not tourneys.

collectathon w/cars

Doesn’t that also describe Burnout Paradise and probably this game?

ok what about how shit the missions look and how copypasted they will be

you're seriously arguing there'll be some very fun creative ones and that they'll be varied enough that you won't get tired of them after two hours? why didn't they show more of them?

you can, switch 2 is backwards compatible. Im def going to keep playing it

balding mii pulls up in a black kart

(speaking in animal crossing-ish) Family.. Comes.. First..

itsbeenalongtimewithoutyoumyfriend in Mario 64 soundfont

nta but I wish they'd make a Mario Kart Maker already.

I've never seen people complain about missions being similar in other games that have them that, surprise surprise, aren't Nintendo games. We've only seen two or three of them right now, let's wait to throw these biased shitfits until we have more information.

The bosses in this game will be the fat manchildren who LOOOOOOOOV :OOO spending all their time playing this shit

I've never seen people complain about missions being similar in other games

I don't care about other games faggot, I think other open world racers are boring too but this one seems particularly trash because mario kart is even less of a good fit for this structure

nice wattaboutism anyway

We've only seen two or three of them right now

yeah and they looked awful, again it's not my job to fix nintendo's catastrophic marketing through the power of imagination

All the same, you’ll still have to add people onto your friends list in order to play, which is far less ideal than tournaments/communities

"I WANT THESE THINGS I'M GOING TO BE EXTREMELY VAGUE ABOUT!!!!"

how exactly do you want them done?

"STOP FUCKING ASKING ME IT'S NOT MY JOB TO READ MY MIND AND DO WHAT I WANT!!!!!"

And since Nintendo doesn't know what you want and how to do it, they won't be able to make you happy so you can keep throwing tantrums about how bad and evil they are. See how cleverly it all fits together.

Are you seriously arguing that Nintendo doesn't know how to create fun mini challenges in their games? Stop being a whiny faggot

Crash team racing you basedboy

Nintendo doesn't know how to create fun mini challenges in their games?

yes absolutely

most of the moons in odyssey were absolute trash and this was in a game that had far more interesting and engaging core mechanics than a fucking kart racer
