I would put money on "not within my lifetime".
The reason why the US aimed to put the first man on the moon stems from a long list of Cold War-era politics that I really cannot be assed to list, nor would I imagine anyone would want to read on this forum (it's actually kinda interesting though). This took both a metric fuck ton of money and manpower to do for what is essentially bragging rights. Sure we could do it again, but realistically most of the "science" that the moon landings provided we already see in other scenarios, be it human physiology in low/zero gravity, collecting earth science and data about the moon, vehicle performance, communication delay, and the list goes on. This all comes with the added risk of sending a human into space where if something goes wrong it is basically 100% guaranteed to kill that human. Terraforming the moon for human habitation would thus "realistically" be the only way to justify putting men on the moon again. This is basically a pipe dream that would best be suited for other celestial bodies that may be further but have actual things going on and isn't just a big rock that happens to be close to us.

Or maybe some crazy billionaire will build a rocket and just send it, idk man.

Here we go again...


Cool idea, but if you're playing racing games for the story you're playing the wrong game.


Correct and I would kill for this, don't ever think this is going to happen though. Nintendo kinda got away with it for Super Mario Maker bc 2d Mario levels are by design simplistic and limited (and even then there's stuff that isn't added). With the amount of bells and whistles added and just the sheer volume of customization it'd be really not worth the effort.
Also just gonna say that MK64 is still enjoyable even with just 16 tracks, lol. Would rather them do 32 tracks really well than do 96 like shit.


Because this is Mario Kart and not Nintendo Kart. MK8 of course ignored this and the inclusion of those non-Mario characters (and tracks, vehicles, etc) is one of my many problems with the game. If every game becomes a crossover, none of them are.
I will say they need to make the character selection screen better because oh my god it is so insanely clunky and bloated. MK8 got that right so I don't know why they didn't this time around.


I think if 200cc was implemented better both officially and unofficially we'd be having another discussion, but honestly not anything to get worked up over.


Please play Subspace Emissary before you say stuff like this lmao.


Correct. To quote one of my high school friends: people don't go to McDonalds if they want a burger, they go to McDonalds when they want McDonalds.
This goes for pretty much any other franchise too.


Played the game recently, dare I say it is the best game to come out of the franchise since MKDS and honestly it's what Mario Kart 8 should have been. Believe me I have my gripes with the game both from a feature-perspective and a mechanics-perspective but I actually enjoyed a new kart and if I actually owned it could see myself sinking some serious time into it. That's more than I ever could have hoped for from the franchise.
Don't think the game's popularity is going to drop off any time soon, it's the "new thing" and I know Nintendo's gonna be putting some love into it over the coming months/years. I guess only time will tell.

Finally got the chance to play recently, expected nothing but was actually pleasantly surprised.
This is what MK8 should have been, physics feels pretty similar but the game feels a lot more fun with a higher skill ceiling between charge jumps, rail grinding, wall riding, etc. The tracks are generally fun and the gimmicks are woven in way better than they were in karts past. Free Roam is something I would have killed for when I was younger, executed pretty well overall. They bring back a lot of stuff without it being "remember when we did x".
And the best part? I know I've only scratched the surface.
