Mario Kart: Ultra Dash

Mario Kart: Ultra Dash is the next game in the Mario Kart franchise.It will feature a total of 78 characters - 21 that are starters, 54 unlockables, and 3 downloadable racers.
There are four main modes in this game (Grand Prix, VS Race, Time Trials, and Battle) and within some of those modes there are new features.
== Game Modes ==
All game modes, aside from Time Trials, are compatible with multliplayer.
=== Grand Prix ===
This mode is the same as it is for other games, with the exception of having 12 cups instead of 8, like in Mario Kart 8/Deluxe. There is no more Crossing or Triforce Cups either - they're now the Boo Cup and the Blooper Cup.
=== VS Race ===
In this game, single player VS Race returns and all settings are the same, with the addition of "Blooper only," "Super Horn Only," and "Star Only."
=== Time Trials ===
Time Trials is exclusive to single-player, where the player races against a ghost or by themselves for the fastest time. There is either 150cc or 200cc Time Trials.
=== Battle ===
Battle returns to this game, and there are seven total modes in which you can play, listed below.
==== Balloon Battle ====
In this mode, players try to pop each others' balloons by throwing items at them. The player starts with five balloons, and once they go out they lose half their points and respawn with three. This goes on until the timer runs out. The player with the most points at the end wins.
==== Coin Runners ====
In this mode, each player tries to collect the most coins until time runs out. Whoever has the most coins at the end wins. Once his, the player loses three coins, no matter how many you have collected.
==== Bob-omb Blast ====
Players run into item boxes to collect Bob-ombs, and can hold 10 at a time. Once throwing, Bob-ombs explode on impact, but when dropped behind the bombs take a while to explode. The point and balloon system works the same as Balloon Battle.
==== Shine Thief ====
The player has to hold on to the Shine for a total of 20 seconds. Once hit, they drop the shine but once they pick it back up their time continues. Once holding the Shine, you drive slower.
==== Sudden Death (New) ====
The same as Balloon Battle, but there is only one balloon per person and there are no points - last player standing wins.
==== Race Battle (New) ====
A random track is chosen and all 12 players race around it. The player who comes in last each lap is eliminated, and the last player standing wins.
=== Online Play ===
With the exception of Time Trials, every mode is available online. You can now play with up to four players on one device online.
== Characters ==
There are a total of 75 characters - 21 starters and 54 unlockables.
In addition to Mario characters, the Inklings (from Splatoon), Link (from the Legend of Zelda), the Villagers, Isabelle (from Animal Crossing), Pikachu, Jigglypuff (from Pokemon), Kirby (from Kirby), R.O.B. (an old Nintendo accessory), and Sonic (from Sonic the Hedgehog) come to race from their respective games.
All characters from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe return, with the exception of Tanooki Mario and Cat Peach.
All characters from the main Mario Kart games (not the arcade ones) return, except for Donkey Kong Jr. and any power-ups (besides the golds and metals).

==== New Item Purposes ====
Item 	Purpose
Mini Mushroom 	Turns you small and gives you speed boosts and a long jump for 10 seconds
1-Up Mushroom 	Avoids any item coming your way. While avoiding, you get one speed boost
Super Bell 	Gives you cat claws and you can strike three times, one opponent hit gives you three coins
? Block 	Works like a Fake Item Box but can be used to deflect Shells.
Pink Boo (or just Boo) 	Pink Boo is an upgrade of the regular Boo, which is why it is a new item. It makes you invisible and invincible, and also steals an item, but in the process carries the player affected a few feet behind (like how they carried in Mario Party 8)
Yoshi Egg 	Acts like a Green Shell, but once landing it gives three random items and spreads them along the road
Double Cherry 	Duplicates yourself. Once hit, the duplicate will go away but you don't spin out. You can have up to five of one character.
Pixel Hammer (or just Hammer)	Flies in the air and hits the three opponents in front of you, so this item can only be used from 4th - 12th.
