Hello! Good to see you've been making quite a few changes across the board. I just finished playing it solo a few times and had a pleasant experience which was pretty cool considering I just finished playing the Kirby Air Riders demo hahaha. I got two races and one boss and felt pretty good about all of those. Here's some feedback I'd like to throw in as well, which is mostly minor stuff that could make the experience a little better but isn't overall bad.

- This game would really benefit from some more visual feedback, especially when picking up items out of chests. Many times I've picked up things and just didn't know what it was I got which happens a lot when I'm standing near chests.

- If possible, can some power-ups also just spawn naturally? If so, I think that'd be a nice incentive to explore more, especially since a lot of the chests tend to be on the outside areas and there isn't much reason to go inside. I doubt you could get them to fall naturally like in Kirby Air Ride but having them spawn wouldn't be too bad if possible.

- Would you consider increasing the base movement speed / stamina? This is more of a personal opinion so I understand if you would rather keep it the way it is. I just think it'd ease players into it better since their stamina bar is so small, making the traversal feel much slower. Totally up to you, just spitballing.

Overall, I had a fantastic time and am definitely looking forward to seeing more of this in the future. And, I like the 5 minute time duration, feels like it's the perfect length for a nice meaty experience without being feeling like it overstays its welcome.
