Mario Kart Insanity

Mario Kart Insanity is a kart-racing game exclusive to the Nintendo Switch. It is the ninth Mario Kart game in the series. Instead of using Nintendo Network, Mario Kart Insanity uses a new internet service called HammerBro101 Wi-Fi Connection. Many key elements from previous games return, such as bikes from Mario Kart Wii, items to hinder other players, and a character roster from which players can select a driver. As with all other Mario Kart games, the goal is to strive for 1st place among other competitors by using items and taking the fastest routes to secure the leads. New elements to this game include increasing the number of racers from 12 to 16 and introducing a new type of vehicle to the series: hovercrafts.
==Vehicles==
Mario Kart Insanity goes back to using pre-made vehicles used in the first six Mario Kart installments. Bikes get the ability to do wheelies back, and they are able to snake better than Karts. ATVs from Mario Kart 8 return, and Hovercrafts are new to the series in this game. There are six of each type of vehicle for each size class, making each size class have 24 vehicles. The Items stat from Mario Kart DS returns, and it determines your chance to get a powerful item (for example, karts with a higher items stat are more likely get powerful items like the POW Block in 10th, the Lightning in 14th, and the Bullet Bill in 16th). 18 Bikes and 18 Karts return from Mario Kart Wii, 6 ATVs return from Mario Kart 8 and its port (though the standard one is separated into 3 separate vehicles for each size class), as well as 10 new ATVs, and 18 hovercrafts.
