Mario Kart 9 Star

Mario Kart 9 is an upcoming game developed by Pentastudios for the Super Pentastar. It is the ninth game in the mainstreem Mario Kart series, and the twelfth counting the arcade games.
This game introduces many small mechanics, like cannons, buttons, musical notes and the big new Story mode. Bikes, ATV's, gliders, underwater and antigravity returns from past installaments. But the biggest new mechanic is the starbits, which replaces the coins from Mario Kart Wii. They can be shot from your kart by tapping an object on the pentapad, which serves as a second screen.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay is very similar to past installaments, especially the last ones. Players can pick one of many different characters from the Mario universe and a kart for them to drive around courses, trying to take the first place. In this game, there is ten players in each race, which has never been seen before. After each race, the players gets points after their placement. The points are added and set to a final score. Here is the point management:
1st 	2nd 	3rd 	4th 	5th 	6th 	7th 	8th 	9th 	10th
12pts	10pts	8pts	7pts	6pts	5pts	4pts	3pts	2pts	1pt
Items can be obtained by Item boxes. First place usually gets weak items like green shells, while the lower places gets good items, like stars, so they can get higher up in the rankings.
The biggest new mechanic is the starbits. You can hold up to forty starbits, and they are used to shoot at special objects, like star counters, by tapping the pentapad.The star counter is an star-shaped object with a white number on it, which decreases by one every time a starbit hits the star-counter. When the counter reaches zero, something good will happen depending on the stage, like speed pads appearing. Hungry lumas will also appear in some courses, normally near the end. If you feed them with starbits, they will give you an item, depending on how much they were given. There are many small things to hit too, like balloons, piranha crawlers and freezies.
