Mariokart 9 predictions

You can put yours here but here's mine:
The game will most likely go back to the 8-cup system, but it will include a Mario Wonder and/or Odessey course.

The roster likely won't add more retro characters, but I could see more new characters from tour coming in, and even some brand-new racers (I'm really only saying that bc I want E. Gadd in this game.

The Items will likely have some new additions, like the feather being in race mode and the mega mushroom returning, but probably no new items.

Me, I would like the characters not to be all available from the start and Kamek to be in them

I'd like that, I had the idea that coins could be used to buy a few (but not all) of the unlockable characters instead of directly unlocking them, that way if you like or don't like certain characters, you can choose who you want to get.

WOW, that would be awesome!!

I saw Pauline but no Daisy (no way she isn't in a recent Mario Kart game), but I really hope for Poochy
A new Daisy themed track would be a great addition, imo
IF THE WONDER FLOWER DOESN'T APPEAR AT LEAST ONCE IN MK9, I WILL FIND EVERY DEVELOPER'S LOCATION AND SAY :

there IS daisy...

Oh, I didn't noticed that ! Thanks btw

Some characters I think will be in the game is:
Kamek, EGadd, R.O.B, Diddy Kong, Cappy

i hope coins get removed in MK9 and are replaced with achievements that unlock stuff like karts, skins for characters (e.g. dark bowser, galoomba etc), characters in general etc

I'd be fine if coins stayed, but just not as an item

I'm hoping some more Mario Galaxy Characters might get added like: Dino Piranha, The Chimp, Luma, and more!

I'm hoping for a hide and seek game mode. I also hope that they have constant DLC and maybe a shop to buy new characters and karts with collected coins. Also, I want them to keep double item boxes and not nerf bagging.
