Not only does Donkey Kong have his new movie design in Mario Kart 9(???), Mario's slightly more cartoon-y Wonder proportions also seem to be the default now.
Interesting MKWorld info from this:
- Originally entered development in 2017 for Switch 1
- Could've been called Mario Kart 9 if not for the open world structure
- 200+ remixes of previous Mario themes
- 24 minute day cycle
- Straight line driving was a concern during development
"One of the designers came up with that silly sketch of Cow cruising along, and I thought to myself, "This is it!"
