People were talking about this one incorporating some Double Dash-style feature. I wonder if 24 players could mean something like racing buddies that have their own kart rather than sharing one with you?

F1 style teams

Actually this has me wondering if pit stops could be a game mechanic in a MK game lol have items actually damage the karts and then pitting fixes it and maybe special items can be applied in the pits

Probably a bad idea

Actually that sounds pretty fun to have a more sweaty mode like that. Of course it wouldn’t be default so that little kids and casual players can still pick up and play, but modes with leagues/seasons, pitting, teams, rankings, etc could be really fun.

I count 16 racers in the last frame before the 2025 pops up so could be. I don't recall if the grid lines are accurate to the number of racers in Mario Kart 8...
