| This page is pretty big, and it's not really to the benefit of this wiki.

| Balloon Battle has been such a prolific and recurring mainstay to the ''Mario Kart'' series, its own promotional art, that, at this point, should get its own article. I keep getting surprised that searching the term "balloon battle" redirects to this rather big and unwieldy page. Balloon Battle is quite different from races, since you're given hit points, the karts control differently (generally more slowly; Mario Kart 8 even has that drifting U-turn) and in Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart Wii you're restricted to just your standard vehicles. While not in depth as [[Super Duel Mode]], Balloon Battle has enough content to be split off.
| |
|
| |
| The other modes are not as iconic as Balloon Battle but if Balloon Battle gets a split, these other modes should also be split for consistency, and the content also seems substantive enough to stand on their own, due to changing rulesets that are better documented in standalone articles than on this big page.
| |
|
| |
| If this proposal passes, there should still be a standalone battle page, but in place of the swath of content, there should be a brief paragraph summarizing the mode along with a link to the main pages.

| ===Split🎈🎈🎈 ===
| |
| #{{User|Mario|Mario (from the ''Mario Kart'' series)}} Ha! Lettuce fight.
| |
| #{{User|Sparks}} [[File:MK8D Boomerang Flower.gif|x35px]] This image needs to be featured in its own page. Per Mario!
| |
| #{{User|Waluigi Time}} Per proposal. I don't see a compelling reason to keep these all together on one page.
| |
| #{{User|Camwoodstock}} Makes sense to us; it would be far easier to explain the nuances of these modes, especially how they vary from game-to-game, if they were split up.
| |
| #{{User|Rykitu}} Per all
| |
| #{{User|EvieMaybe}} per proposal. makes perfect sense
| |
| #{{User|Jdtendo}} Per proposal.
| |
| #{{User|Arend}} Per 🎈💣☀️🪙🚨 (all of these)
| |
| #{{User|BMfan08}} Per all. Now, if you would excuse me, I have to Bob-omb the renegade's balloons and take the shine out of their coins like a thief.
| |
| #{{User|Nintendo101|Nintendo101 (from the ''Nintendo101'' series)}} Per proposal.
| |
| #[[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) - This has always been an overly large convoluted snarl of a page.
| |
| #{{User|Technetium|Helium}} Per proposal (''high pitched'')
| |
| #{{User|Tails777|Tails777 (from the ''Sonic Kart'' series)}} I like the colorful balloons and Bob-omb explosions. That's irrelevant in general, but I support the idea of splitting these modes, as they're all unique modes and lots of them are recurring enough.
| |
| #{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Wait, they DON'T already have their own articles!?
| |
|
| |
| ===Keep merged 💥💥💥 ===

| |
| ===The time for talk is over! Now we can move on to the planning.===
| |
| I think that if these modes get split out, we should also make pages for Grand Prix and Time Trials, and perhaps Versus too. Because it's currently odd that those three all redirect to the ''Mario Kart'' series page despite also being as recurring as Battle Mode. (For Battle Mode's case, this page also served as the hub for all of its own sub-modes.) They don't have to be big long pages, but they could at least note how the modes act and have changed over the years.

| :These are the main meat of the Mario Kart games. It's kind of like giving party mode from Mario Party its own page. Time Trials is more of a side mode but its means of play doesn't change across games, and it's not much different from the racing taking place, vs Battle which get their own arenas and whatnot. I'm not wholly opposed to the idea, I just don't think it's as immediate of a problem. {{User:Mario/sig}} 14:24, February 8, 2025 (EST)

| ::The fact that time trial analogues exist in several other games makes me think it's not a bad idea. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 14:27, February 8, 2025 (EST)
