Like ultimately the matchmaking system doesn't matter because more than anything I want a good experience playing Mario Kart with my friends which has not been a struggle point in previous titles

It does feel like a SBMM-adjacent complaint but I feel like it's more about experience design since it's a problem in private rooms more than anything

In public lobbies it manifests itself as "everyone tries to do the shortcut but most people fail because they're inexperienced or get hit"

Idk what suggestion I can make besides a 3 lap mode online queue because at least then you get marginally more practice just playing the game

Maybe add 8 or 12 person queues/item balancing to bring back some interpersonal play?

Idk I just want this game to be more exciting to learn

2) You *have* to lab tech

Unless you time trial, you're probably only playing a track once a play session. In MKW that might mean one lap. And some tricks are incredibly precise yet still "viable." You can't practice tech to get better by just playing the game, you need to grind which is boring!!!!

It's probably two things:

1) It's a party game

Practice/ knowledge is highly rewarded so any time I play there's a huge skill gap in every direction. It makes playing against better players feel impossible and against worse players feels like a curbstomp. Group sessions lack dynamics and feel bad

Mario Kart World is the first game I've ever played/watched where I see a cool movement tech and instead of going "woah that's so cool!!!" my opinion of the game goes down

and that needs to be studied

Currently imagining a world where a video goes viral saying "Xenoblade 3 is an anti-woke game" and far right gamers start playing it

They enjoy it & don't question the major themes but like 4 days later someone posts a pic of Juniper and says "There's a they/them in this game" and hell breaks loose
