Mario Kart 9 is in development

Although Nintendo works with high pressure on the route pass, there is rumbling the next offshoot of the Mario Kart series in development. Mario Kart 9 should not appear before 2024. It would be conceivable that Nintendo once again waiting for the publication of all race tracks of the DLC until Mario Kart 9 is released.

In addition, we should probably see much more characters from the Nintendo Universe, which does not belong to the ridge of Super Mario. The coins should be completely eliminated and the Item system will be revised. For example, only one object should be carried along.
