My frustration for Mario Kart 3DS is palpable.
Ever since the mere announcement of the game, I've been on tenterhooks. Mario Kart is a series I've always liked and this installment has had me eagerly awaiting additional information which greatly affect the likelihood of me getting it. Listed below are a list of characters and features I'd like which would make the game, at least for me, the best in the series.
Characters:
- Mario (Confirmed)
- Luigi (Confirmed)
- Bowser (Not confirmed but almost guaranteed anyway)
- Yoshi (Not confirmed but almost guaranteed anyway)
- Toad (Not confirmed but almost guaranteed anyway)
- Peach (Not confirmed but almost guaranteed anyway)
- Wario (Not confirmed but almost guaranteed anyway)
- Donkey Kong (Not confirmed but almost guaranteed anyway)
- Diddy Kong (Previously used in the series)
- King K Rool (New Character)
- Dry Bones (Previously used in the series)
- Bowser Jr. (Previously used in the series)
- Daisy (Previously used in the series)
- Kamek (New Character)
- Toadette (Previously used in the series)
- Waluigi (Previously used in the series)
- Koopa (Previously used in the series)
- Baby Mario (Previously used in the series)
- Baby Luigi (Previously used in the series)
- Dry Bowser (Previously used in the series)
- King Boo (Previously used in the series)
These characters could be divided into the standard set of weight classes:
Light:
Toad
Toadette
Dry Bones
Kamek (NEW)
Koopa
Baby Mario
Baby Luigi
Medium:
Mario
Luigi
Peach
Daisy
Yoshi
Diddy Kong
Bowser Jr.
Heavy:
Bowser
Donkey Kong
King K. Rool (NEW)
Wario
Waluigi
Dry Bowser
King Boo
This gives an equal balance of weight classes and myriad returning racers as well as a couple of new ones.
Stages:
New Stages:
- Wuhu Island (Confirmed)
- Rainbow Road (Not confirmed but almost guaranteed)
Returning Stages:
- Toad's Factory (Wii)
- DK's Snowboard Cross (Wii)
- Koopa Cape (Wii)
- Bowsers Castle (Wii)
- Luigi's Mansion (DS)
- Shroom Ridge (DS)
- Waluigi Pinball (DS)
- Wario Stadium (DS)
- Dry Dry Desert (GCN)
- Daisy Cruiser (GCN)
- Mushroom City (GCN)
- Wario Coliseum (GCN)
- Riverside Park (GBA)
- Boo Lake (GBA)
- Yoshi Desert (GBA)
- Ribbon Road (GBA)
Other than the above, the main other thing I want this game to do is to use the powersliding mechanics of Mario Kart DS rather than Mario Kart Wii. I personally feel that MKWii ruined powersliding. Please note that most of this is a wishlist, and that anything confirmed is annotated to say so. Any new confirmations will be updated here.

Re: My frustration for Mario Kart 3DS is palpable.
They need something like a Mii for the 3DS. Then you could Mario Kart with your Mii!
Just like MKWII!

Re: My frustration for Mario Kart 3DS is palpable.
I want a 3DS! But I probably won't get one unless I trade in my DSi and/or my DS lite. 
And ERROR:
Rainbow Road isn't new, unless you are comparing to only MKDS, not MKWii also.
Talking about MK, anyone wanna race?

I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

There is a new Rainbow Road in every game. As such, common sense dictates there will be a new iteration in MK3DS.

Actually, I think Kamek was in one of the first Mario Karts.
No, Kamek has never been included.
And people, please, let me explain something. Rainbow Road is a recurring feature within the Mario Kart series. Every game has its own version of Rainbow Road, so the logical assumption is that MK3DS will have as well. The Rainbow Road listed there is the almost guaranteed new incarnation, not the Rainbow Road from previous games.

Why do you say that?
Right now, it's a lot easier to learn, so the difference between the noobs and the experts are smaller. Some argue that's bad, but before, I would be disappointed because I would be winning every single MKDS game with my friends, and there's no challenge. But this way there is. More fun .

Right-o.
Though it was GOING to be in Mario Kart 64 - but they decided not to.

I preferred Snaking and being able to dodge Blue Shells. I also felt it better sorted the noobs from the experts. Granted, playing against a noob is twice as boring, but playing against a good player on MKDS is twice as fun, and is less reliant on items etc. to win.
