Mario Kart 9 Speculation

If the next batch of MK8 DLC doesn't do it, I'd love to see more Retro Tracks from the SNES and GBA games. Those two games have so far gotten the least representation in newer games, and seeing tracks like Vanilla Lake, Sunset Wilds, and Ribbon Road rendered in beautiful HD with fully orchestrated music would make me die a happy man.

Also, the return of arena battle mode courses; MK8 would've nailed it if it weren't for them just repurposing the normal tracks- that didn't quite work.

Ribbon Road's in DLC set 2.

All I need is HD Cheese Land.

Cheese Land is also in DLC set 2.

What I Want from MK9
-No more new goddamn Babies.
-No more new goddamn clones (seriously, having three Marios and three Peaches is quite enough).
-Better character selection in general.
-Real battle courses.
-Give the option to play old-fashioned Mario Kart battles.
-Maybe a rudimentary track builder with the ability to share courses online. 

I know I already replied to this, but let me do it again:
YI has infested Mario Kart. Definitely.
Could definitely go for that.
You mean stuff like Bowser Jr. and Diddy Kong? as if smash 4 wasn't bad enough
The only course I actually like being a battle course is N64 Yoshi Valley, and that's because it's already labyrinthine enough.
You mean elimination-style battles? All of my yes. Maybe make Mario Kart battle tournaments to go with it.
If by "rudimentary" you mean "along the lines of ssb4's level designer" I could go for that.

Would also be nice to have more iconic Nintendo characters as DLC. I mean the Mario Kart 8 DLC has been surprisingly good, but Villager? I mean really? Who was actually excited about that idea?

Samus - now that would have been more exciting (though it would no doubt be "zero suit" Samus... which would be lame).

Or you know, or a Pokemon or well, anyone. Anyone except Villager.

I've heard soooo many rumors about a Metroid DLC pack being set 3 or 4, and I wouldn't complain at all. Pokemon would be even better - imagine trying not to run over wild Squirtle or something!

i dont care if these games (mk7 and mk8) are slower. its now about having fun instead of being the best in the fast-paced game, and personally, i think thats how mario kart should be. i never really liked mario kart before 7 and had a hard time adjusting to the physics of double dash/wii. now that they made things simpler, it now can cater to everybody.

200cc says hi, but that's a bit TOO fast, even for me.
And I definitely agree with the sentiments of some other users in here that they'll just keep expanding Mario Kart 8.
