Talk:Mario Kart 9

Make a disambiguation page for now?

While various news sites tend to refer the new Mario Kart for Switch 2 as Mario Kart 9, it can be argued that Mario Kart Tour is Mario Kart 9, since its courses are included in the Booster Course Pass (if it didn't count as an official entry, its courses would not be included in there, much like how the Mario Kart Arcade GP games don't count as official entries either. So I think it's best to make this a disambiguation page for now until further information. rend (talk) (edits) 14:33, January 16, 2025 (EST)

let's be really pedantic, Mario Kart 7 is the ninth game made overall as well, so that could also be a point made here. - YoYo (Talk) 11:41, January 18, 2025 (EST)

We don't know what was Nintendo cooking when they decided to name the 3DS installment "Mario Kart 7". It's me, Mario! (Talk / Stalk) 13:54, January 18, 2025 (EST)

At the very least I think this page being a redirect to the new Mario Kart title should be considered misinformation. In an official capacity, as far as I'm aware at least, there has never been a separation between Mario Kart Tour and the other "main" titles, it really doesn't make sense to act otherwise just because it's often reffered to as such unofficially.

I created one now, Mario Kart 9 (disambiguation). I added every entry that seemed reasonable to me to include, but feel free to make changes if you wish (although if you're specifically planning to rearrange the order, I'd appreciate having a very good reason for doing so).
