Mario Kart 8 DLC Wishlist

[Tao]

Yeah i agree but the Gyroid is not gonna happen it is to plain for a game like Mario Kart. It would be something really crazy, like someone said earlier, the train from Animal Crossing: New Leaf! I would like to see that actually, i just do not like the Gyroid concept i'm sorry guys! My opinion!

I'm not particularly fond of the Gyroid option, it just seems like a good possibility with it being a thing that's easily recognizable as 'Animal Crossing'.

It could end up being something not in the game at all, just themed as something you would find in Animal Crossing, like the Master Cycle.

Yeah who knows! I do not really mind if there actually is not even a animal crossing vechile at all lol

I tend to agree. There's a pretty low chance I would even use it personally. As long as they deliver some fun tracks, that's all I care about

Something like the taxi from wild world would be pretty cool, but I assume that it will be something themed to new leaf, as that's where the character's are from. But it'll probably just be a themed car kinda like the master cycle and the tanooki car as someone else said.

I don't know if anybody has already said it yet (though I doubt so since i've seen nobody on the Internet say it), but i'm so sure that one of the courses from the Animal Crossing DLC has you drive through the town tree from New Leaf. If you look at the picture to the left of the yellow question marks in the DLC teaser image, you could see the image of the track i'm talking about.



Does anybody else think that is what it could be? It looks so much like it's the inside of the town tree from New Leaf, yet it feels like nobody else thinks that's what it could be. I've told my friends before, and they don't agree with me. I've also looked at other people's comments online, and it seems like nobody else mentions it or thinks of that. If you watch Gamexplain's discussion/analysis video on the DLC (this was back when it was announced in August), they say that they think it's some random forest course from Mario Kart Arcade years ago, and I was thinking, "Where did they get that idea from!?"

I just wanted to point that out since it feels like nobody else thinks that that is what it could be, but other than that, i'd love to see a stage in the DLC that changes seasons/weather, sort of like how Animal Crossing games change their weather and seasons. It would also be cool to see at least one Animal Crossing car in the game. Maybe it could be a gyroid car? Or the bus from City Folk? Or maybe the taxi from Wild World? Whatever it is, i'm sure Nintendo will make it look really nice. For the returning stages, i've already seen people mention this before, but we NEED Baby Park and Cheese Land to return. If they bring Baby Park, they also should make it have 8 laps like in the GameCube version (not 5 like in the DS version).

I can't wait until Nintendo unveils the DLC! They already said it's near completion, and I really want to see the different tracks and cars it will have! I already have it pre-ordered, and I would love to play it!

So much like the inside of the town tree? How do you know? You can not go into the tree... And it is way to big to be the Animal Crossing track, it will probably be just a completely new course. Just like Ice Ice Outpost.

It's not the inside of the town tree. There will likely be only one animal crossing stage, which shows that you drive through the town, and going inside the tree doesn't at all fit with the scale or realism that mk8 has. Also, the image isn't inside the tree, it's up the side of it so you can safely say that it's a new course

Yup!

Would you guys rather see an Animal Crossing track with 3 laps or one that is just a big long track that has 3 sections in it?

I personally would rather see 3 laps because I've always been a bigger fan of those. The section track may have more stuff to look at overall, but it's usually not as fun to drive in my opinion.

Actually for the Animal Crossing track i would like a section track. I can imagine a section in the sea where you drive to Tortimer Island and at the end of the sea section you glide up and land right on the Island house thing with item boxes i actually would like that! It is never going to happen though...

I think a sectioned track would work best for the people who want the seasons to change. I like your idea though of including Tortimer Island on there. I'm guessing they will have a section where you drive past all the stores that are in the game. It may not be like Main Street in New Leaf but it will be something to display all the NPC characters and their stores probably.

I'm also wondering if they will have a big open area of the track that has houses, trees, pitfalls, and rocks in the way. Like a mini Animal Crossing town that you have to drive through and villagers are walking around or stuff gets in your way. I think that would be awesome to have!

LOL and that when you crash in a rock that there is a chance of a bell bag popping out of it!

I know that you can't go inside of the town tree in New Leaf, but it looks like that could be the inside of the town tree. If you look at it, the branches of the tree have shading that looks very similar to the town tree, and they stick out in a very similar way to the town tree in New Leaf. There are also leaves around the top of the branches, making it look like it is a tree, and the dark blue on the outside makes it look like this is during the nighttime. It might be a bit big compared to ACNL's tree, but if they were going to make you drive on the tree, they would have to make it bigger to fit everybody.

There will likely be only one animal crossing stage, which shows that you drive through the town, and going inside the tree doesn't at all fit with the scale or realism that mk8 has.

That's true how there might only be one Animal Crossing stage (like how there was only one Zelda stage), but it's possible that Nintendo could put 2 in the game (I hope they put 2 in the game). Even though it doesn't fit with the scale or the size of the game, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo made everybody shrink down or made the tree bigger. I mean, they did put in anti-gravity (something not really present in Mario games). Also, how would that be the side of the tree?

The section you see is in anti gravity. The road goes vertically up a tree with branches on the side

Oh, that makes more sense. I could see how that could be the side of the tree now.

I think that the track you're talking about is an unrelated track. It just doesn't look very 'Animal Crossing' to me. Plus, you can clearly see the start/finish line, so it's unlikely to be the same track as the Animal Crossing one (which you can also see the start/finish line). Just like the Zelda DLC, I don't think that Animal Crossing is going to get more than one track.

I could be wrong obviously, but I just don't see it getting more than one track.



Though for the AC track, I think it would be pretty cool if every time you raced on the track it was a different season. The exact same track, just with new aesthetics. Maybe with each season there's a new obstacle or something, like any bodies of water from the other seasons freeze over in winter to reveal a new shortcut specific to the winter version, or Autumn has piles of leafs scattered around that may or may not have a trap hidden in them when you drive through.

Yea, I've heard speculation that it could be another Donkey Kong jungle type track or possible a haunted woods or something similar type track. I like either one of those ideas. They need another DK track besides DK jungle and the haunted mansion track kinda sucks, in my opinion.

The seasons being different every time you play would be an awesome addition. I doubt they would do it but it would be a really cool change to traditional way of doing things.

It could be a Luigi's Mansion track. That would be pretty cool :3

Even though it still looks to me like it could potentially be an Animal Crossing track (Maybe they didn't put the Animal Crossing logo at the start when they released this image? Maybe?...), you're probably right. It would be really nice if Nintendo made two Animal Crossing tracks, but that probably won't happen (especially considering Zelda got only one).

You're idea for the Animal Crossing track would be really cool! That would be much better than having all 4 seasons shoved into one playthrough of the track, in my opinion. It would feel more natural to the course and add more of a surprise for players (especially when you're online and it could choose any one of the 4 seasons for that track). I doubt Nintendo would actually do this, though, because we haven't seen a track that changes each time you play it before (I'm not counting Excitebike since it changes as you play it), and if they did do this, it would require a lot of extra work (they'd basically have to make 4 different versions of the same track). It would still be really cool, though!

It could be a Luigi's Mansion track. That would be pretty cool :3

Even though I could still see that track being the inside of the town tree in Animal Crossing, it also seems like it definitely could be a Luigi's Mansion track! It would be really cool if Nintendo made another Luigi's Mansion track!
