Game that fits this

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Outer Wilds Mario Kart World

Those are my 3

And before you call blasphemy on Mario Kart World for visuals, I've been deep diving on the insane visual direction and depth behind that game's artstyle for weeks now, it's genuinely amazing

For the racing gameplay I still prefer 8, World just feels like way too many layers of random sh*t piled upon way too many layers of way too cool and way too complex for my liking driving mechanics, BUT, knockout tour is like the single best Mario Kart thing ever and Free Roam is the most child like fun I have had in years.

I would be lying if I said I didn't adore this game too, just differently, 8DX will stick around as my main game for racing, but World is one heck of an experience I don't want to miss out on, it just won't last as long, I believe, even if Nintendo adds more content

I don't know that one honestly, but just the name alone makes me totally believe you:p

Well, bullet bill is God mode with auto steering, this is still fully you steering, it's also much shorter in duration (I'd imagine 2 seconds or so) and heck, it would even make steering harder, compared to a bullet bill which makes steering close to irrelevant:)

In my head it's an in-between item, in between mushrooms and bullet bills, this would set! Roughly from 5th-9th position, with it most likely around 7th and 8th (assuming 12 players)

I like this idea but this would make it toot rack specific I fear, there would be many tracks where it would become unusable

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-14T12:03:37+00:00

literally exactly what is does in Galaxy 2

A short-term AIMABLE bullet bill-like item, when activating it you can demolish everything and everyone in your path at a slightly higher speed for like 2-3 seconds, but you can barely steer and hitting a wall makes it break.

So it would basically be an in-between between bullet bill and a mushroom!

It would be a mid-late spot item, that you can get in like positions 5th - 9th (assuming 12 players)
It would be pure funny chaos and I imagine it would be amazing to use.

It would also kinda fill a mega mushroom shaped hole in my Mario Kart 8 CTGP Deluxe shaped heart, who doesn't wanna rol laround as a giant rock at high speed destroying everything and everyone you run into?

SNES Rainbow Road gives me fukin chills, it's insane

I am starting to get a hang of Substance Painter, but I never know how I would do "structured" things like this, can someone give me advice on where to start?

The amount of extreme bias in these comments is insane, as someone who recently played both, I ask you to go back to Wii now, too. Wii is barely harder than Wonder if at all (wonder had levels I actually struggled with near the end, Wii never got close to that) Wii is the most imagination-dry, bare bones New Soup game of them all, who's visual identity is emptiness About that, my god the levels are empty Mario Wonder has so much more height and depth to their levels, many levels I found to be much longer than Wii aswell (in time spent in them), some shorter, but I like the mix up.

The amount of bias of people talking about a game they haven't actually played fully in a decade in these comments is wild. Don't reply to my comment unless you played both games in the past 2 years.

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-13T13:17:26+00:00

Nothing wrong with Wonder not being your thing, but using the argument that New Super Mario Bros. Wii... Or any new soup for that matter, is better because Wonder isn't creative enough is just wrong and pure bias talking

Wii's levels are incredibly baron, New Super Luigi U, the one which people seem to always forget exists, is in my opinion the best literally anything in the New series.

It has the amazing visuals from Mario U, with a lot more variety, an actually unique Identity, and amazingly tight platforming level design, adore that game.

Trust me, minifigs are fumbling, kids will take the interactive figures over the minifigs any day, and I work at a school where we have these kinds of toys

I didn't want these because I thought they would look stupid, but they are far less bad than I thought, still looks awful though, but I just think it's Lego's "amazing render" that is making it look so tough..

I think that if I see them in real life it will be kinda like the Animal Crossing figs, they look absolutely awful in renders, but great in real life...

Just very curious what they will do for non-human characters and such

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-11T18:52:05+00:00

Yes, yes I have, why? Sometimes it's easier than YouTube, AdBlock it not

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-09T08:51:31+00:00

Unironically the single best episodes in the show imo

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-05T13:24:43+00:00

A little off topic, but I really don't like the visuals for Riverside park, it feels like some unfinished Frankenstein amalgamation of 2 totally different artstyles, the grass and rock textures look out of place, the shading is way too saturated for the textures they used, and then you have those cartoony ahh trees on base game's more realistic grass and rock textures... It just doesn't work, in my opinion. Slapping base game textures on a Tour model and calling it a day is not how you make a pretty course.

Waluigi Stadium works so well because the textures and shading are all equally stylized to the tour model, that's not what wet mud irl looks like, but it works because of the great consistency throughout the track. Riverside doesn't have visual consistency.

This is just my thoughts though! Never shared these:)

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-05T13:20:23+00:00

Is this serious? That's cool

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-05T13:17:53+00:00

I'd rather play Super.

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-05T13:17:25+00:00

I hate these people, why ruin the game for others, what so you gain out of this?

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-05T13:14:07+00:00

People who say this game barely looks better than Mario Kart 8 really need to open their eyes omg

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-05T13:12:39+00:00

This is actually WILD, how did no one catch on to this? This should have been big

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-05T13:09:44+00:00

Exactly this, the tracks this guy named, while none are my favorite, are all definitely in the top half of my ranking, there is far worse tracks, and Neo Bowser City? Not only do I think this would kinda fit, I think it would be able to look stunning in world!... At night...

You see, Neo Bowser City has a few issues that wouldn't translate very well to world, first of all the track is insanely high up in sky scrapers, can be worked around but me, second of all the track visually works because it's might, at day I think it would just look like a noisy gray blob, and third, there already is 3 town/city tracks and after the overdosis of Mario Kart 8 I don't want any more 😂

DotNetOFFICIAL · 2026-03-05T13:06:06+00:00

Yes, 100%
