You gotta finish the Grand Prix's then it unlocks the last one with Rainbow Road

Both the characters and the cars having hidden stats is diabolical I fukking KNEW different combinations felt wildly different in-game but the shown stats make it look like a marginal difference at best

Played the first race and came in 4th. Then went to Free Roam and to my surprise I ended up driving around the world for over an hour doing different things. Tried to catch a Robber in Crown City. Got into an unofficial race with Rosalina. This mode is actually quite addictive. Loving the game so far. No complaints.

Not having the option to just do classic 3-lap races online is a serious miss though. I don't need the generic interstate racing portions. The tracks are clearly more polished than the connective tissue between them.

If you choose random course there's no interstate but then instead of of choosing which course you may end up on one you don't like.

Yeah I found that an interesting choice. At first I thought it wasn't a good thing either.

But balance wise it's actually a smart play, the reason being that in previous Mario Karts, there's too much going on in each course, turns/shortcut wise for there to be any straightaways, which meant that there was a heavy skew on acceleration/handling characters. Not now, now you have to know your map and each character/kart isn't one size fits all.

I'm low-key disappointed. I liked the antigravity zones they had in 8. They are gone from world. Its all jet skis and airplanes, and wall rides. Which isn't as fun imo.

They also removed the horn. How you have a kart with no horn?

I've already unlocked the extra characters and all the vehicles so far. And I want a little more. I know more is coming.

I still wish you could turn off the music but with 600 tracks, they ain't letting you turn shyt off.

I'd love to turn the music off, the items off and just race around the tracks or world. That ain't happening.

I see in battle mode or custom races you don't have the option to choose which items you want like in 8 also.

200cc is coming as well as more shyt, just gotta wait.

If it wasn't for knockout mode, this game would get stale fast.

Called out for work to fully play this and damn online knockout is addictive

Really beginning to hate the large mushroom and lightning bolt

Just finished the first cup. The transitional races are a bit weird and might not be for everyone. I like the old format better myself, but they seem to be going for open world races like some of the new racing games. The build up to the DK part was impressive.

Also, someone posted the Horn isn't in the game. It actually is and it even has a new sound. Gonna play next cup in a bit. Need to get before each one.

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel this game is a major downgrade from 8

I don't know if it's just me, but I feel this game is a major downgrade from 8

Really? In what ways?

I think it’s an upgrade in everything besides the cart options. I would’ve preferred for them to keep the cart customization.
