A £80 price tag has me cautiously optimistic, but if those early impressions are right, this might finally be the Mario Kart that makes me ditch my old Wii U version. 24-player races sound insane—hope my internet can handle the banana-peel-fueled chaos

24-player chaos on a single track sounds like the perfect recipe for both epic wins and hilarious disasters—can't wait to see how the new mechanics shake things up Also, £80 better include some wild new power-ups or a battle mode that’s worth the hype.
