Mario Kart World annoys me the most because it feels like wasted potential to the maximum.
How cool would it have been to have boss battles out in the open world? Or challenges by Mario NPC people? Like you see a giant Wiggler, run into it, and then he challenges you to another side of the map? Or you see an NPC kart racer roaming around the map, who you can then challenge to a special race. You want to beat Nabbit in a race? Then race Nabbit around a track 3 laps while he has unlimited access to items to unlock him. You want that cool ROB bike? Then find some random NPC on the top of DK Spaceport that is chilling on it, and race them to the bottom of DK Spaceport with more obstacles in the way. How fun would that be? You'd get to do fun stuff while unlocking cool stuff. It's open world so of course you'd be encouraged to explore. It would really bring its title to full circle: Mario Kart WORLD, because you explore the WORLD of Mario Kart.
BUT NO WE CAN'T HAVE THAT HERE'S STUPID STICKER FOR YOUR KART YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SEE, THIS IS YOUR REWARD FOR FLYING THROUGH RINGS IN THE AIR IN LESS THAN A MINUTE
