Top 10 Features that Should Be Added to or Brought Back to Mario Kart

Yeah, I remember this mode. It was so fun and challenging. I guess they removed it because it took too much time in later installments, but still, it definitely should be brought back.

I am absolutely stunned that we have yet to see this mode come back. Missions Mode was so much fun, and seeing how much the series has evolved since DS, I'd love to see them expand it even more. Maybe they could even throw in some new bosses.

The nostalgia is real. Please bring back Missions Mode, Nintendo.

Double Dash has one of the best gimmicks in the series, yet it hasn't come back? I'd love to see this be revamped, especially considering we can now go underwater, glide, and use anti-gravity. There are way more characters now, and maybe they could even bring back special items. I'm pretty sure everyone misses those.

I do hate Mario Kart: Double Dash, but an option with either one or two players per kart has got to be there. Fans who hate Double Dash, as well as the many who love it, would be pleased.

To be honest, I don't care much for this one. It would be fun, but nothing too amazing in my opinion.

This was a pretty fun mode that not a lot of people really talk about. Considering that retro tracks and DLC exist now, this mode could be expanded and made even more fun.

You know how in Smash Bros you can select specific items to turn off? I'd like to do this in Mario Kart. Technically, you can choose which items appear, but I wish it could be more specific. For example, if you hate blue shells, you could simply turn them off.

I still think the banana, green shell, red shell, blue shell, star, lightning, bullet bill, and blooper should not be available to turn off. The other items, yes though.

This doesn't even have to be as in-depth as Super Mario Maker. All I'd want is for them to allow us to create our own track designs and insert a few jumps and obstacles.

I could see this returning after Mario Kart Wii's custom tracks.

It would be cool if there was a track builder. I would make custom tracks.

Battle mode is great, but it's not quite the same as in the older games. For example, in 64 or Double Dash, if you lost all your balloons, you were out. In the newer games, you just respawn back in. It's fine, but it's just not as fun as the older games. Battles aren't usually as intense anymore.

But importantly, I want a single-player battle mode where you can battle with other opponents on your own. That might increase replay value. But yeah, respawning after being touched takes away the fun of the elimination type. So I want that to return.

I'm pretty sure it's in 8/Deluxe, but it's only available between matches (don't quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure that's the case). Assuming it is, I'd like to be able to chat online during races instead of being limited.

This was in Mario Kart DS, and it was really cool. I'd love to see this brought back with more colors. Since touch screen technology has significantly improved, I'd love to be able to make a logo again and then use it online or something.

Okay, so I know a lot of mobile phone apps have something where you can join with a number of players and go against other leagues. I'd like to see something where you have a league with about 30 people. Basically, you would compete online in league mode, and all your points would go directly to your league total. Then you could compete with other leagues. That would be a cool idea.

Yeah, there were tournaments in Mario Kart Wii and a mission in Mario Kart DS where you did this. If there was an entire CC just for reverse tracks, it would be much better.

They have this in Mario Kart Tour. It's cool, and it would be really cool if they had it in the next Mario Kart.

This would be new. You would go online and watch other players race in Mario Kart. There could be rankings for you to choose from, so you could pick a pro and learn from them or watch a beginner and see them fail.

@Randomator, I know, right!? It would be really entertaining, and you could possibly watch it while you are eating or just don't feel like playing.

I could definitely see Mario Kart TV making a return. It seems like a no-brainer to include. I think it would be cool if you could watch professional players play.

Put Shrek in the next Mario Kart game, and my life will be complete.

Coins are pretty much an anti-item, and I can agree with this to an extent. If they are going to include them, they need to make them relatively rare so they don't break the game as much as coins did in the original Mario Kart 8. Deluxe fixes this problem, but they can't allow this issue with anti-items to happen again.

This should be something that only Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, Bowser, Bowser Jr., Daisy, and Yoshi should have access to.

I like swearing, but what's the actual point of it in Mario Kart? Ok, you could diss each other, I guess.

Characters that are playable by default but eventually get brutally killed off during story mode, so you can't play as them anymore.
