That`s pretty cool.
I still think the Mercedes' cars are out of place, yet, i can`t wait to try them out!

SO excited for the on screen map!!! That's one feature that I've sorely missed from other MK games.
Happy about the stats as well.
In the future I'm hoping for actual battle arenas and more online unlockables/cosmetic kart colors and customizations
And changing the default selection to next race is a nice change. That's one bonehead mistake I can't believe the developers made. I can't tell you how many times I've accidently hit "view video highlights" as it is currently the default selection.

Nice.
As long as they fix the annoying error code that kicks you from lobbies or during races, that's all I want.

Thank god for the record screen, I wanna know how many coins I have to unlock the Gold Glider. The TV map's pretty useful since I play on the Gamepad most of the time, and saving a custom kart will save a bit of time. I'll try out the Mercedes karts for fun, maybe I'll even main one.

I really hope the Mercedes vehicles aren't OP...I have zero interest in using them and don't want to feel forced to

I'm just excited for the Mercedes DLC, and scoff in the face of Ubisoft thinking it takes away the magic from a game that already has a sports coupe, a pink car with blasting subs, and a sport bike...

I think Ubisoft also believes female characters take away from games in general.
