@bitsplease @Son_of_dad a Mario kart based on skills not on luck
So just an option to turn off items? Is that not already a thing?
@bitsplease on the single player I don't think so. The items are fine, but I would like them to be more like in super mario kart. Right now, if you go in 1st or 2nd is ok, but if you drop to the middle positions you can't even drive properly, it's a mess of items, it's annoying. Basically the last positions have super items all the time that spoils the race to everyone
I agree that it'd be nice to have options for these things, but personally I like most of the features you want gone 🤷🏼♂️ for me - MK isnt for competitive racing, it's for chaotic fun - the handicap mechanics are great because it means you can play with anyone and still have a fun time. The person in last dropping a blue shell or bullet bill only spoils the fun if you're treating it like an esport, otherwise it just keeps things interesting
And as the best MK player in my circle, I can also attest that skill 110% matters in MK. sure you may get the occasional game where you just get stupid unlucky and your noob friend gets stupid lucky so they win, but 9/10 the best players still finish first in my experience
