I'm all for keeping the basic gameplay the same; they should definately include the traditional one-man-kart and battle modes aswell as this new co-operative play (if they don't, which I doubt really, I'll be pretty annoyed).

But it really would be nice for some big leaps forward. Perhaps a track editor (would be an incredibly tough job for the coders, but would be great fun to race around each other's tracks in multiplayer). Perhaps a custom character (or new ones at the very least - I'd like to see Link racing).

Explorable and interactive tracks would be good (but nothing to distract from the racing) and more innovative obstacles, too. New power-ups would be good and maybe a story mode for added depth. Those are just a few ideas I've thought up now..

Nooooooo


Why the &%$£ would you want a story mode?

That's just gay.


There are new weapons, and character specific ones which is very good. Track editor would be okay but I doubt I would actually use it.


And I doubt they would have taken battle mode out.

Alright, but if not a story mode, there should be many, varied and interesting championships and tournaments with different prizes etc. Perhaps a career mode instead of a story mode?

No.

It's a racing game, you race.


Mario Kart 64 was spot on, three championships with three different difficulties, and then another championship to unlock.


Of course, on the GC it would be nice to have at least 6 tracks per championship; and there really should be new battle mode tracks/secret characteres etc to earn when you beat each championship on the hardest setting.

There needs to be plenty of unlockables though, secret tracks, characters and lap times to beat and stuff like that.

Mario 64 had very little single player value once you'd completed all the cups and done them all backwards, which didn't take long at all.

Wish you could customise your Kart, adding parts and weapons and stuff but I'm guessing you can't.
