Mario Kart NG

Mario Kart NG is an upcoming game in the Mario Kart series for the Nintendo NG. It is the ninth console Mario Kart game and the fifteenth game overall. The game brings back many features from previous entries in the series that weren't in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay remains pretty unchanged from previous installments, mainly Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart 8. Players choose a character that fits within one of five weight classes and a kart body, wheels and a glider all with different stats and race on a racetrack, trying to get 1st place against either CPU's or other people. Coins are found all across the track and can be collected, giving you a slight speed boost when you're at the maximum amount of coins, which is 10. Also found across the tracks are Item Boxes, which give the racer a random item based on their placement. Items like Bananas and Bob-ombs will be found in higher placements, while items like Stars and Bullet Bills will be found in lower placements.
==Game Modes==
Mario Kart NG features a wide varitey of different game modes, most of which return from previous installments, but also feature some new ones.
===Grand Prix===
Grand Prix remains unchanged from previous entries. When the game is first booted up, only the Mushroom, Flower, Shell and Banana Cups are avalible, but by getting gold trophies in these 4 cups the Star, Special, Leaf and Lightning Cups will be unlocked. There are a total of 5 CC's you can race on, these are:
*50cc - Very Easy
*100cc - Easy
*150cc - Standard
*200cc - Hard
*250cc - Very Hard
Additionally, by holding down the L and R buttons while you're selecting a cup, it will activate Mirror Mode, which mirrors all of the tracks in that cup.
===Time Trials===
Time Trials allows the player to play on any of the tracks (as long as that course has been unlocked in Grand Prix) and complete all of the course's laps as fast as they can. Racers are given Triple Mushrooms at the start of the race, which can be used to take shortcuts. Players can also upload their races as ghosts and can download other people's ghost data. Every race course in the game has 2 staff ghosts; one for 150cc, and one for 200cc, with the 200cc ghost being unlocked after beating the 150cc ghost.
===Versus===
Versus can be played with up to 4 people on 1 system. Players can set their own rules for a varitey of things, such as the items avalible, the type of vehicles the CPU's ride and if they want to play on teams or not. Players can also set how courses are selected, in the order they appear in Grand Prix, choose after each course, or a random course each time.
===Battle===
Battle mode is the same as it is in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but now with the ability to get rid of the timer when playing offline. There are a total of 12 battle arenas (6 new and 6 returning). The 6 different battle mode types are:
====Balloon Battle====
Every racer starts off with 5 balloons attached to their kart. If a player is hit by an item, they will lose a balloon, and the player who placed the item will get a point. If all of your balloons are popped, you respawn with 3 balloons and lose half your points.
====Coin Runners====
Racers must collect Coins that are scattered all across the battle arena. Unlike regular races, there is no limit to how many Coins you can collect.
====Shine Thief====
A Shine Sprite is placed in a random place on the arena. Players must keep hold of the Shine for 20 seconds without losing it by being hit by items. The game ends when someone has held the Shine for 20 seconds.
====Bob-omb Blast====
This mode is almost identical to Balloon Battle, except that the only item avalible is the Bob-omb. A racer can hold up to 10 Bob-ombs at one time. Bob-ombs won't damage the racer that thrown them.
====Renegade Roundup====
Racers are split into 2 teams: The Authorities, which have Piranha Plants attached to the front of their kart, and The Renegades, who must escape from the Authorities. If all the Renegades are caught, the Authorities win, but if the Renegades aren't all caught, they win.
====Star Bit Stealers====
Every racer starts off with 20 Star Bits. By pressing the L button, racers will shoot out one of their Star Bits, and it acts like an item, causing a player to lose 3 Star Bits if they are hit. The player with the most Star Bits by the end is the winner.
===Adventure===
Adventure mode is a brand new single-player mode in Mario Kart NG. In this mode, players play as their Mii character and explore several worlds, to get all the Golden Trophies back after Bowser stole them. To get a Golden Trophy, players must race against opponents in a race or battle. Usually, these races and battles will be modified in some way, such as Mushrooms being the only item, or your opponent being big. After enough opponents have been defeated, a boss will spawn in to the world and must be defeated. Once a boss is defeated, the player will get a Golden Trophy and will unlock the next world.
