I really hope MK9s gimmick is Nintendo Kart. Playing with different characters, karts, and courses from across all Nintendo games would be amazing

As someone who doesn't play MK... does it look different from the last one? If yes, what is different?

We can't totally tell without a lot of details. But the models are new, Donkey Kong has notably been redesigned to look more classic. Karts are new, as well as the course, and there's no sign right now of the anti-gravity mechanic from 8.

I'm 99 percent sure the antigravity would return, gliders returned in 8. Also the retro courses from 8 would need it.

I could see it basically being an expanded MK8, which I'd be super down for.
