I do feel like the console will drop relatively soon after the Direct - Nintendo tends to aim for summer releases for a lot of stuff, and I feel like an April Direct sets up the timeline pretty well for a June release.
The 24 players seem interesting… imagine Nintendo watched MrBean’s proof of concept video years ago and/or the 24 Player KO tournament and thought, “close enough, add it to Mario Kart 9”
@@TWD98 it would make a lot of sense if they did. It would show how much they know of the community. I remember the KO videos the mode was put into CTGP, they’ve had plenty of time to see its existence.

@@ZainePittman just looked at all of the mktour karts (insane how many there are), it seems only the snow skimmer/variants of it dont exclusively use wheels? every other kart has 4 wheels, so im not sure what you mean. to add on: the snow skimmer has 4 wheels, but theyre all in the back instead of in the front as well.
@llamadrama1090 hopefully! I was thinking more so about when the joycons are removed. I do however imagine it will have been properly tested, the switch 1 joycons weren't especially weak.
4:16 I predict the new game will be titled “Mario Kart Ultimate!” Hard to believe that the Mario Kart franchise is now 33 years old…starting up engines and motoring mayhem since 1992!
Nah we know it will be called either Mario Kart 10 or Mario Kart X. They probably will do something like a showcase of the whole series and they will have Mario Kart Tour as the number 9, so they can have the new game as the tenth.
The important question here is, Peach is riding a bike, wearing the dress and without ponytail? Does that mean no more biker outfits or will the biker outfit be a selectable skin? I NEED ANSWERS
Look ahead from the start line at "Mario Bros Circuit": the directional arrows point offroad, but they block an on-road section to the left. THEY ARE FOCUSING ON MULTIPLE PATHS
I'm more than certain Nintendo want to enter the custom tracks arena and create a Mario Maker-esque mode. CTs and the whole CTGP movement made a lot of noise over the years thanks to people like Mrbean. I'm also getting a very open world vibe from the trailer - could be some kind of career/story mode?
I could see 24 players as like an “expert mode” to the new Mario Kart game, but nonetheless, WE ARE FINALLY GETTING A NEW MARIO KART AFTER ALMOST A DECADE (if you include Tour then almost 6 years)
Hopefully Toad’s Factory, Mushroom City, N64 Wario Stadium, GCN Rainbow Road, Wii Bowser’s Castle, Wuhu Loop, Maka Wuhu & DS Rainbow Road Will Return Because I Missed Them So Much When They Sadly Didn’t Return Since Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pack
Here's my thoughts on what we have seen: A bunch of stuff makes me think that this is not Mario Kart 9 or 10, but another spinoff. Or at most radically different than what we are used to with mainline titles. First of all, I don't see the jump from 12 to 24 players happening in the regular racing mode, maybe as a side option or alternative mode, it just doesn't feel right and they'd have to change a bunch of things especially with items that would make the game step aside from the classic formula we are used to. Possible performance issues also come to mind The showcased track's huge straight section doesn't make much sense, I think there's three possibilities here: -It's not actually what it seems and the track changes replacing the straight section with something else, maybe involving the new unique gimmick or the actual route isn't what it seems to be -This is just for the GP Mode "ceremony" animation at the end, would make sense as they seem to move in exactly that fashion -This is some sort of "hub" map for a story mode of sorts like in Crash Team Racing, probably not likely but it fits the vibe DK's new design and the cartoony style in general feel really off to me. It's not bad but it just doesn't feel like something they would make right now. I can't exactly explain why, it just feels off. They already debuted this style in Wonder but that felt like a one time thing connected to the theme of that specific game. This is not the first time they've done this, in fact most of Mario sports titles borrowed their artstyle from their most recent mainline games. But looking at Mario's (presumably) Standard Kart we can see that it's not as "standard" as we'd expect, rather looks like a toy, which fits the overall vibe of these designs. DK also resembles the Mini DK's from the Mario VS Donkey Kong which further explains the toy vibe, though Bowser somehow looks normal and kind of out of place. I don't know but it just feels odd to me that they'd do this for a mainline title.
Watching your channel inspired me to bring back my childhood. I grew tired of being the big fish in the small pond and look forward to some challenging races but first I need some practice on the newer Mario Kart games as I was only into Double Dash and DS and only played Mario Kart 8 once since then.
I think that track shown is inspired by Cars’ Radiator Springs location actually. Pretty sure that Yoshi hotel / inn / etc. references the inn Sally (one of the main characters of the Radiator Springs group in Cars) owns. Obligatory 24 player hype (and shenanigans)
Did Mr. Bean get hired at Nintendo? also Same Troy, I just woke up when it came out... Btw if thats the Luigi Curcit of MK9 That would be pretty cool! no coins pls!!!
The trailer gives me Forza Horizon open-world vibes, especially near the end when the camera zooms out and the racers look like they're on a road trip, on their way to their next race. I think this will be a great way to showcase the online capabilities of the Switch 2.
I saw Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Daisy, Donkey Kong, Rosalina, Wario, Toad, Yoshi, Koopa Troopa, Toadette, Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Baby Luigi, Baby Daisy. Pauline, King Boo, Birdo, Bowser Jr (I think), Shy Guy, Baby Rosalina (I think) and someone I can't make out, so 23 racers so far in one race (though in total there'll probably be 24)
The track is called Mario Bros Circuit so maybe that’s why they look like that and it’s not an actual art style change for the whole game but just a change for that track cause it’s based off the Mario movie
It's been a long wait, hopefully it will have been worth it! 24 player races?! Character redesigns?! Let's just pray that they rework some of the game mechanics (*cough cough coins cough*) to make it feel like a brand new experience!
My number one wish for the next MK was probably to have more expressive characters given how Wonder raised the bar for expression in Mario games, so glad that it seems to be the case
I’m so sad now I got a switch for Christmas and won’t be able to play Mario kart online anymore and I can’t buy the new one or it will be considered rude to my parents 😢
just to clear confusion, the direct to showcase switch 2 will be april 2nd. not the release of the console most likely.
I do feel like the console will drop relatively soon after the Direct - Nintendo tends to aim for summer releases for a lot of stuff, and I feel like an April Direct sets up the timeline pretty well for a June release.
They have showcases up to June 1st. So it has to come out some time after that..
@@SpanishGarboThey did Switch live showcases after March 3rd.
inb4 they do the smash thing where they end the trailer by saying “the switch releases… later today!”
That’s… a _really_ long time. There’s no way they won’t show at least games for the system.
The fact that Troy and Nathaniel Bandy both brought up Disney Pixar’s Cars when they saw the Mario Kart part of the trailer
Watching all of the reactions too I see 💀
@ definitely 👍
it does kinda look like radiator springs though.
I immediately thought of radiator springs as well. I played a lot of the cars 1 video game on the Wii.
I also thought of the same thing when I saw it. Memories from playing the cars game on the wii
Imagine getting mario karted from 1st to 24th 💀
valid grounds to crash out
@CrystallusAngelus really would be 🤣
That’s gonna be a world record achievement lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I am so excited for 24 cuz idk how to do the mods on the Wii lol
The 24 players seem interesting… imagine Nintendo watched MrBean’s proof of concept video years ago and/or the 24 Player KO tournament and thought, “close enough, add it to Mario Kart 9”
really hoping for KO mode too
That would be so dope
Coming soon in mario kart
@@TWD98 it would make a lot of sense if they did. It would show how much they know of the community. I remember the KO videos the mode was put into CTGP, they’ve had plenty of time to see its existence.

Can't wait to see what more inspiration they took from MrBean and co
24 PLAYERS IS GONNA BE INSANEEEEE
YEA
Ong it will
I see that to
Can't wait for 24th place to get the teal shell that's like the blue shell but it hits 12th instead
It’s gonna be complete chaos and I’m totally here for it lol. Can’t wait
I love how everyone is reminded of Radiator Springs and Route 66 when they see the new track 😂. As a cars fan I love the vibes
that's exactly what I thought too lol
As someone who played the PSP game, same
I'm thinking of the desert setting from the Super Mario Bros Super Show intro and outro.
my arch nemesis is back is so real 😭
Here we go again
Now I just need to see that ShortCat made a comment on this video, and the rivalry trio will be completed.
If Toad's Factory isn't in it, we riot 🤣
I'm so excited! 24 players is CRAZY!
Man, i just want my DS Rainbow Road. It's really underrated and we don't need another remake of the SNES one.
If I don't see toads factory as a retro I'm never playing Mario kart ever again
Not having Toad's Factory would be a sin...
You hear this, Miyamoto? You better add Toad Factory, otherwise you'll have let us all down.
@@ZainePittmanmiyamoto is just a designer, is not his decision to put what track or not
We go MAD if it isn't in
Tick-tock clock is still the best lol
expecting an "everyone is here" move where they bring back everyone from super - tour, that would be so cool
I’m guessing they might not have tour bc of all the variants, such a sick idea but
I’m hoping for the koopalings, I need by boys Iggy and Roy
@@LaRozzle i was referring mostly to characters but having a reverse mode with those variants would be cool too
King Bob-Omb or bust!
I've silently been hoping for Nintendo Kart because that would be next level but there's no doubt gonna be a gigantic roster.
Easily 50-60.
“I just woke up but screw it I’m gonna record my reaction anyway” reaction videos are the best kind of reaction videos.
Because they don’t feel over hyped or fake
I enjoyed seeing a tired Troy who just woke up
I can't believe they confirmed Desert Bus for MK9
Wish I thought of this in the moment, so accurate lol
I hope it's 9 hours long instead of 8 or Ima crash out istg.
This is what 5am switch 2 reveal does to a man.
3:15 thats a snowmobile for sure
It looks like a new, blue version of the Snow Skimmer from Tour which was also a snowmobile.
@@AAgamer617 nah its a completely different model, wont be similar to the mktour one for sure
@@garneet The game appears to be inspired off of Tour though, with its vehicles not always having four tires.
@@ZainePittman just looked at all of the mktour karts (insane how many there are), it seems only the snow skimmer/variants of it dont exclusively use wheels? every other kart has 4 wheels, so im not sure what you mean.
to add on: the snow skimmer has 4 wheels, but theyre all in the back instead of in the front as well.
@ Ok, fine... but you know what I meant. 2 wheels in front, 2 in back.
24 player competitive mario kart gonna be crazy
Lol Troys face was locked in when he saw the gameplay
Man if you thought the Mario Kart Wii item balancing was bad just wait until this game comes out
def gon be new items to accomodate for all the places
Right? I also highly suspect the tracks are going to be gigantic to account for 24 racers.
@@N_manMETA11 the tracks in Mario Kart Wii were big lol. I can’t wait to play online with 24 other players that’s going to be awesome.
@@unl3ash3d95 I hope they are good items. If I have to deal with the thunder cloud or something like it we are going to have issues.
Looks amazing, I'm a little dubious about that exposed connector where the joycon slots in (1:16)
I think its a tight fit so theres no wiggle room to break it
@llamadrama1090 hopefully! I was thinking more so about when the joycons are removed. I do however imagine it will have been properly tested, the switch 1 joycons weren't especially weak.
4:16 I predict the new game will be titled “Mario Kart Ultimate!” Hard to believe that the Mario Kart franchise is now 33 years old…starting up engines and motoring mayhem since 1992!
can't believe they added desert bus as the newest track, ballsy move by nintendo
Please, Nintendo, give us knockout tournaments in MK9! If we can have 24 player races, we can totally have those!
Since Tour is widely considered 9, this one will probably be 10.
most likely gonna be called Mario Kart X mark my words they skippin 9
Since when is Tour "widely" considered as 9 tho 😅
@@artemis2121
Since MK8DX DLC called Tour tracks retro tracks
artemis2121 since Nintendo said so
Nah we know it will be called either Mario Kart 10 or Mario Kart X. They probably will do something like a showcase of the whole series and they will have Mario Kart Tour as the number 9, so they can have the new game as the tenth.
Imagine if that new track is just desert bus lol
24 players is craaaazy
4:10 you literally missed that it said "Nintendo Direct" with the date at the bottom. It's the date for the presentation ☠️
I just woke up lol, no need to be rude. Hopefully it comes out in April still
Bro should’ve used clown emoji instead
@@TWD98 what was rude about that lol you asked what you missed and they told you? did they type at you in the wrong tone? 🤡
@@TWD98I don't think he was being rude Troy, he was only trying to help:) We love you! 🫶
I’M TOO EXCITED!!! We waited over 10 years for a new Mario Kart
The important question here is, Peach is riding a bike, wearing the dress and without ponytail? Does that mean no more biker outfits or will the biker outfit be a selectable skin? I NEED ANSWERS
Was that her dress? Her hair is def down, but I couldn’t make out the outfit very well. I’ll be sad if they got rid of the bike suits. They’re so cool
Dawg I’m buying this ON RELEASE
Me too!
Funny how both the Switch reveal and the Switch 2 reveal both have a new Mario Kart game in it. The Switch had MK8DX and this has this new Mario Kart.
Maybe someone at Nintendo was looking at what the modders were doing lol.
Look ahead from the start line at "Mario Bros Circuit": the directional arrows point offroad, but they block an on-road section to the left. THEY ARE FOCUSING ON MULTIPLE PATHS
It's really 24 players rooms, it's going to be insane
The chaos of 24 racers is going to turn people into supervillains, can't wait
Bro woke up at 6 to watch a video. He has a lot of willpower to wake up that early just to watch it, lol.
I wake up that early for work almost every morning lol. Sadly I was at work when this dropped
@@elijahadkins6195 oof lol

Greetings Nintendo Switch 2! Having 24 players is twice the excitement! That desert brings me vibes of Radiator Springs from Disney Pixar’s “Cars!”
Cars 1 and Cars 2 are my top 2 fav movies of all time. Can never decide which I prefer… I’ve got so many memories from both movies
From counting the starting line I was shocked
Nintendo defo took inspiration from CTGP😭💯😊
Was I the only one who got jumpscared by that new DK design
Hopefully Toad’s Factory, Mushroom City, N64 Wario Stadium, GCN Rainbow Road, Wii Bowser’s Castle, Wuhu Loop, Maka Wuhu & DS Rainbow Road Will Return Because I Missed Them So Much When They Sadly Didn’t Return Since Mario Kart 8 Deluxe’s Booster Course Pack
it feels so soon too cause the DLC just ended in 2023 and peoples hopes were shattered but now the hype of seeing potential tracks return is back
3:20 that looks to be a snowmobile

Great video, as always! Your effort really stands out.
The transitions are very clean and the Mario kart game looks like very good, I am definitely gonna get the switch two :3
Yoshis is the copy of wendys
3:25 Plot twist: It's called 2025.
Theory: the intro with them driving along that straight way is from a cutscene in the story mode.
Day 677 of asking Troy for a collab with Zakziko
i absolutely NEED coins to beat Troy in a mario kart game 😊
24 player knockout tournament to be officially in Mario Kart? Imagine dude.

man i love kario mart for the 4ds
Im so glad these characters have brand new unique models, like look at how much donkey kong has been tweaked
24 players... Lag-trails and smart-bouncing green shells are gonna be crazy! 🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥
Lets see if N64 Wario Stadium is finally remade 😭
the items balancing for 24 players will be total chaos, at least the blue shell has to be much rarer
Did Mr. Bean get hired at Nintendo? also Same Troy, I just woke up when it came out... Btw if thats the Luigi Curcit of MK9 That would be pretty cool! no coins pls!!!
After years of waiting we can finally drive through a Gas Station in Utah in Mario Kart.
1:12 Definitely like air hockey!
Troy’s morning voice sure is something I’m not used to
Yes sir mariokart 9 or X is the question I guess this will decide if Tour was cannon 😅

Cool character select screen, Troy ;)
This is my first time being to a video in under 30 seconds, also FINALLY SWITCH 2 AND MARIOKART
The inside drift Yoshi did was pretty sharp.
Upon zooming in, I think it’s possible that Peach is on a scooter rather than a bike? Maybe. I can’t entirely tell.

We got a new Mario Kart before GTA VI! But I ain't mad.
When will the 200cc Invitational come out
Nintendo just casually dropping the Switch 2 trailer with a new 24 players mario kart XD
LIGHTNING MCQUEEN COMING TO NEW MARIO KART ⁉️🗣️🔥
I love how it being called MK9 or 10 will determine whether Mario Kart Tour is officially meant to be MK9 or not.
24 players finely! they seen 24p mod now they said lets make it happend for real, i really hope we can make our own tracks in this next mario kart
I still can't believe mario made the cut
How do we know there will be 24 players? I think I missed that in the teaser
The white lines that show where the karts are on the start line, there’s 24 of them
There is also more than 12 players on track if you look closely.
My number one wish for the next MK was probably to have more expressive characters given how Wonder raised the bar for expression in Mario games, so glad that it seems to be the case
0:05, it is because it is 6pm in Japan
I swear you can see a green shy guy on what looks like a blooper cart or white bullet bike
2:30 i'm not sure if this is a new mario kart or not but look closer how peach drive the motorcycle with her dress it's not weird..?
It's obviously a new game
I’m so sad now I got a switch for Christmas and won’t be able to play Mario kart online anymore and I can’t buy the new one or it will be considered rude to my parents 😢
Just imagine 24 player races if they put in custom items again
Desert Bus in MK9 Confirmed!!
Everyone's saying the new Mario Kart track looks like Radiator Springs lol
They missed an opportunity to call it the Nintendo Snap
dude is decoding that video like it’s the map to El Dorado
In the last clip, there's more than 12 races (like 14) in one shot, so the 24 racers might be a thing 🙏
