Mario Kart: Dream Team

Mario Kart: Dream Team is the latest addition to the Mario Kart (series) developed and published by Nintendo for both the Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo 3DS. It is considered the spiritual successor to 2003's Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
=Gameplay=
As with other racing games, Mario Kart: Dream Team is a Kart racing game that challenges Mario series players to race against one another in mario-based tracks, either hindering opponents or improving the racer by using various item drops from item boxes along each track. Many of the gameplay mechanics are re-worked into the game from Double Dash: two racers within a single kart, one racer driving the vehicle while the other uses items. The game also returns elements such as motorbikes from Mario Kart Wii, and anti-gravity racing from Mario Kart 8. Other features such as speed-boosting, Spin-boosts, and Hang-gliding are also included.
The controls used in the game mirror that of Mario Kart 8, being adapted for the 3DS system.
The game includes three different game modes, with four different difficulties for each mode, which can be picked prior to the start of each.
==Racing==
*Grand Prix - this racing mode places the player in a cup of their choice. On selecting the type of racing cup, the player will then race in all four races within each cup in the order present. This can be done in multi-player as well as single-player.
*Verses - Verses mode is a multiplayer-only mode which multiple players can race along any track of their choice.
*Time Trial - A single-player mode which the player races against the clock on a track of their choice. Unlike previous installments, the players are under a time limit for each race. If the player takes too long to finish a race, then the player is place under "DNF", and loses the race.
==Battle==
*Balloon Battle - Balloon Battle is the main battle game mode, which players are set in a arena, and having to fight eachother out using various items picked up. Each player has five balloons to start, and if all the balloons are gone then the player is kicked out
*Bob-omb Blast - Bob-omb Blast places players within an arena, with the main pickup being colored Bob-Ombs. The player can hold up to ten bob-ombs at a time, five per racer, which can be thrown or dropped onto the track to hit opponents.
*Shine Thief - Shine Thief has the player locate a shine on the map. The main goal is to hold the shine for a set amount of time.
*Coin Collector - Coin Collector has players collecting coins along the arena. Items can be used in this game mode to make players loose coins, which in turn can be collected by other players. The player with the most coins by the end of the round wins.
=Characters=
The game has up to 20 different teams in the game, making technically up to 40 players in total within the game. Each player is customized in three separate classes: Light-weight, medium-weight, and Heavy-weight.
