I read all the posts up to this page...
These are what we don't want in MP9 that was in MP8 (and possibly MPDS):
1. Plot
One year supply of candies... I'm sorry, but this is just ridiculous.
2. Candies
I'm honestly okay with this, but I'm not if it's used for the plot. Might be a good idea to bring back orbs, or simply items.
3a. Luck-based Minigames
In short words, it's annoying. If Nintendo insists on putting these, they better exclude it from the Duel and Battle minigames.
3b. Irresponsive Minigames
Yes, we're looking at you, Flip the Chimp.
3c. Boring Minigames
Some are too short and uninspired. E.g.: Shake It Up and Crank to Rank
4. Luck Factor
I don't know how to properly explain it, but I do feel that MP8 is too luck-based.
5. Crappy Host
No more McBallyhoo. That guy talked too much (also implies that MP8 displayed too many message boxes) and... what creature is he?
How about Pauline for a host? ;D I know she's always been in the DK series, but she would do a surprise visit to Mario and co.
6. Last-Five-Turns Scenarios
This should affect all players, not just the last place player.
7. Boards
Linear boards are boring. Also, Bowser's Warped Orbit is frustrating with it's circular path and direction-changing green spaces.
8. Playable Characters
Remove Birdo and Blooper, add all other MP8 characters to MP9, and maybe add other characters such as Rosalina and/or Diddy Kong.
9. Full Screen for Widescreen display
If you use the widescreen setting, you will see ugly sideframes when you play minigames or in the boards.
*facepalms at the list I made* Nintendo, I hope you have used your 4 years to look at ALL of these unsatisfactory aspects in MP8.
Anything I forgot?
