Thought this was important to post, as it's what motivated me to post this thread in the first place:
Wasn't gonna bother with this game after having the vanilla version of MK8, but since it was given to me as a present when I got my Switch, here I am I guess... Haven't really had the desire to play it much again though, and still kinda peeved that this future-proofed or delayed a Mario Kart 9 from happening for the time being.
Kinda hope now that the next Mario Kart goes the Smash Ultimate route if anything, with basically all the past characters returning, and as much tracks/stages as possible.
