Mario Kart Legends

Mario Kart Legends is an upcoming 10th installment of the Mario Kart series.
==Story==
Long ago, there were 8 sacred items, that were never meant to be touched by mankind. For these items held powers, and were gates to other realms. If anybody sought to destroy them, they would have to face a great trial. A series of races, which would allow you to gain these sacred items. A shell, a mushroom, a banana, a flower, a leaf, a star, a lightning bolt, and the ultimate crown. These items are only meant to be found if the world depended on them. And for years, they remained silent.
Until one day, a beast known as Bowser, emerged from nothing with his group of baddies. They desired these powers, as these powers would give them ultimate control. And so, they did it, and in turn they caused chaos on the sacred grounds that these powers are hidden in. 
And so, as a result, Toadsworth, the Toad, being the only one who knew of this tale, called all of the Legends of the world to stop Bowser, before it was too late.
