I don't really like how every costume for a character is treated as its own slot on the select screen, it just clutters things up. They should just be a second menu that appears when you select the character you want to play as.

I don't need ten Marios on the character select screen, this isn't a Dragon Ball game ffs

Yeah, same. They only made the "clone character" problem in the previous game worse by doing this. IIRC, none of the costumes ever change anything about a character's hidden stats, so there's no reason for them to be a separate slot. Even if some of them do have unique animations.

Yeah, it's weird that they thought that would be the best way to handle alt outfits.

It's almost as bad as having to scroll through up to 149 items on a horizontal line that doesn't wrap around, one item at a time, when you want to Fuse something to your Arrows in Tears of the Kingdom, and then have to Fuse again instead of the last item you Fused be automatic when you fire again.

I wish you could color characters car and outfits

That would far better than stickers

It sucks that the game tells you that you collected 15k coins, but there's nothing to spend it on.

sometimes it feels like their constant need to differentiate one entry in a series from another leads to them reinventing the wheel all the time

It's weird, I feel like Nintendo used to be so conscious toward intuitive menu design and it's like they regressed hard in some areas.

Same, TC. I don't know why they thought that was a good idea. Even worse is how the costumes often aren't even next to the original characters.

I love the intermissions for things like Knockout, and I think it's a fun way to do a GP as an option. I just wish they had the option to do a normal GP with the three lap tracks. You can set it up that way in Vs., so no reason they couldn't add the option to normal GP.

I agree that's something that should be fixed. Too much clutter right now. I'm guessing it's to make it seem like there's a lot more characters available. Maybe if they do dlc with new characters they will fix that (hopefully it's fixed even without dlc though)

It can definitely be better, but at least you can press the sort button once to order them by character. I have no clue what the rhyme or reason is with the default list.

They've been making baffling UI decisions forever now. They only just finally patched Zelda Echoes of Wisdom to allow you to favorite echoes instead of that cluster fuck of one line you must scroll through. And TOTK as well with the same design.

Nintendo does good stuff but I really hate that they seemingly never get these small things right. Don't even get me started on Animal Crossing New Horizons

Question about the Kamek Orb. If I'm grinding for a specific character to unlock, can it still transform me into that character if they're already in the race, or do I need to reset and get a lineup without that character?

For example, if I want to unlock Fish Bone, do I need to make sure Fish Bone isn't already in the race as a CPU for the transformation to be available? Or will it still have a chance to turn me into that character as long as I'm on the right course?

I did look up a list of courses that I need to focus on for each character, and I do know about the 2-player trick, but I don't want to actually use that trick. I just need to know if I'm wasting my time trying to unlock somebody I'm already racing against.

You can use the sort button to kind of do that.

highlight a character then press sort and the game will re sort the list to the one that shows all that characters costumes.

I've really enjoyed my time with it and am looking forward to seeing it grow, but I can't remember the last game I played that made me go "Why did they make it like this?" so many times.

First race of today's grinding session to unlock characters

It's on Koopa Troopa Beach
A Kamek Orb is thrown on lap 2
The characters it hits transform into Dolphin!
I was the one who threw the orb :(

They can be in the race, that doesn't impact it.

How so?

In Pokemon, if you want a specific Pokemon, you can know where to go, but it's still RNG to get it. Static encounters also exist.

In Mario Kart, if you want a specific NPC character, you can know where to go, but it's still RNG to get it. Static unlocks also exist.

I hate to tell you this but encounters in Pokemon games are randomized, as are their stats and natures and everything else about them, and the Pokeballs work in part due to a random number generator
