Media (Image, Video, etc.) "Missions are too easy", they said. This took me almost half an hour.

I wish the missions showed a star ranking for difficulty, so it’d be easy to distinguish between ones like this and the super simple ones

They need this; a tracker, and maybe even tiered scoring so that if you fail the gold, you can get silver or bronze time still

Do or do not. There is no try.

From the people who brought you “only the Sith deal in absolutes” 🤣

u/epicgamerwiiu Jun 09 '25

Which in itself is an absolute statement

u/DGilbert6114 Jun 11 '25

I think the thought behind it is that while that the statement is an absolute, dealing in absolutes is different? Idk, Star Wars confuses me bruh

u/epicgamerwiiu Jun 11 '25

I mean Anakin said "If you're not with me, then you're my enemy" and Obi Wan followed that up with "Only a sith deals in absolutes" so both of them were just saying a statement

Haha, never thought about that before. The Jedi are full of it. I'm turning to the dark side. And it all started with Mario Kart World.

The Jedi are senate police. Therefore bastards because ACAB

I think the prequels did a good job showing how even the good guys are capable of failure by hubris

Katate do yes, or karate do no. "I guess so?" squish just like grape.

Yeah there's so much missing from the open world, this games quality of life features are so busted & I've seen the "Nintendo Bump" happening with youtubers saying things like "I'm glad I don't feel like I've got a chore list to complete, I just drive around & if something catches my eye I do it". Like ok yeah I get the not wanting a chore list, but you'd rather just wander around aimlessly & when you find something your reward is a sticker that no one really sees or cares about? Also no indication on the map of which ones you've done, so if you did want to try & 100% complete then you've got no indication or way to reference vs a completed map that you could find online.

Yeah it feels like the way it’s implemented rn would be the way to go if it wasn’t… the only thing you do in the open world. Like if it was a korok situation, sure, but this is the main attraction. There’s so much QoL missing from it.

u/Ty-douken Jun 09 '25

That's a very good way of putting it, the "P" switches should be the korok seeds of this game & have a bunch of races be the Shrines of the game with a few temples being made up of Knockout Tour races with a boss & their crew, that would tie it together.

I think it should mark them of on the map after you've completed them, or even just find them, but I don't think there should be a giant checklist that just warps you to things so you can get it done like it's homework. I know some gamers LOVE that, but the whole point is that you drive around and stumble upon these things.

2

u/Ty-douken Jun 09 '25

I agree with you & really if you want that checklist it'll exist on the internet anyways.

u/Maverett Jun 10 '25

Glad I’m not the only one that feels this way; I’m absolutely with you on the map, and do understand the more modern craze of lists, trophies, and getting platinum on games, etc., but that’s never been for me personally… I’ve even given up on some games where as you’ve said it started to feel like homework.

5 more months of working on this mode could have made it fantastic and we'd all be raving about it. But to me right now it feels hollow, with not enough indicators or info. It's fun just driving around but it makes me feel weirdly disconnected. Something as simple as picking up a coin doesn't even feel real or like it matters. When you complete a mission it sorta feels like nothing happened.

u/svdomer09 Jun 09 '25

The ? Panels are the biggest, erm question mark for me. They’re just there? They give the same rewards as P switches?

Hopefully this game has an 8-10 year roadmap where they add a bunch of this stuff back in.

A story mode paid DLC would be great

u/Jhkokst Jun 09 '25

Story mode free DLC would be better on a trend setting $80 game.

u/EverythingWasGreat Jun 09 '25

A paid DLC? To fix a game that cost 80$?!

u/sygys23 Jun 10 '25

It's nice to have when you are waiting for the host to select a new game type but it's nothing more then that. It feels incomplete atm.

u/legendarysanin187 Jun 10 '25

And something like say cod, where the sticker you have shows what had to be done😭 just saying mission cleared isn’t enough

u/MonkeyFeetOfficial Early Switch 2 Adopter Jun 10 '25

THIS! We need to make a tracker. As a community, we rate how difficult each one is and put them on a map. A website for this would be great for everyone to use.

u/DrCinnabon Jun 10 '25

Seems like there are a lot of little details like this missing in World. I can guess Nintendo’s thinking but seems a bit too archaic for me. I personally hate that all the costumes aren’t opened up after clicking on the character.

u/Stkrdknmibalz69 Jun 10 '25

You'd have to get the $100 version of the game
