Talk:Mario Kart (Nintendo Switch 2)
Move to "Untitled Mario Kart game"?
The game doesn't have a confirmed title, and the current one used for this article sounds as if it's an official name since it uses a similar title format as Luigi's Mansion (Nintendo 3DS) and Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch). Princess Peach: Showtime!, for example, went by "Untitled Princess Peach game" before its reveal, so why should this game be an exception? "Untitled Mario Kart game" summarises the article's topic much more accurately in my opinion. Yours truly, RetroNintendo2008.

- I forgot that's the name we gave to Showtime! I was going for what we used to name untitled games years ago on the wiki like Paper Mario (Nintendo 3DS) for Sticker Star.

- I've moved it back, because Mario Kart (Nintendo Switch 2) is a far more descriptive title that people are more likely to search for (especially since in order to find this game on this wiki you have to type "Untitled" on the search bar). We've really used untitled for the Peach game just because it's an entirely new series/game so we can't 100% be sure for the title of that game, but this game off the bat is part of a series and we know "Mario Kart" will be part of it.

I saw Bowser Jr. on the trailer
During the last section of the reveal, Bowser Jr. seems to be behind Baby Rosalina. I also think that Shy Guy is not seen playable, but due to an NPC Shy Guy appearing very close to King Boo on the distance, it gives the illusion that Shy Guy is there. --Tiixi (talk) 13:09, January 16, 2025 (EST)
Donkey Kong design
Currently, the page says that Donkey Kong's design in this game is based on how he looks in the The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which is misleading since the design here is clearly just based on how Shigehisa Nakaue has always drawn DK, including in concept art for the movie itself which is why he had that design in the movie in the first place.

- That does make sense. Nakaue's artstyle is also the basis for the in-game artstyle for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which people immediately caught, but that game didn't have DK in it, so this might be the first time Nakaue's Donkey Kong is translated into 3D; no way people would recognize that right away.

King Bob-Omb
At one point, you can see what might be King Bob-Omb. As suggested in this Twitter post (https://x.com/RHVGamer/status/1879960122891583914/photo/1), it might suggest he will be returning. edlde62 (edlde62) 14:57, January 16, 2025 (EST)
- Pretty sure that's Lakitu instead. And I honestly don't see King Bob-omb in it anyway: couldn't find the mustache like the tweet you linked described, nor any dark blue of his spherical body. Instead, I recognized Lakitu's glasses and his round yellow head. rend (talk) (edits) 15:02, January 16, 2025 (EST)
