Mario Kart World Players Frustrated by Absent Feature

Sure, here’s a rewrite:

—

So, I was cruising through some Mario Kart World news—don’t ask why, maybe nostalgia or just random curiosity. And guess what? Players are grumbling about this one missing thing. Turns out, you can’t see where other racers are from in multiplayer anymore. Used to be a thing in Mario Kart 8 and 8 Deluxe, but poof, gone now. Reactions? Kinda all over the place.

The stakes were high for this game, seriously. Dropped on June 5, and it’s one of just two big titles launching with the Nintendo Switch 2. The other one’s just a cheap little welcome tour game. Donkey Kong Bananza is somewhere on the horizon, but all eyes right now? Totally on Mario Kart World.

Apparently, the game’s killing it. Everyone’s digging the open-world vibe mixed with classic racing. But yeah, some folks on Reddit are really missing those cute little national flags in the multiplayer lobby. It was like a mini Olympics, seeing people from Japan and thinking, “Oh boy, those folks are serious pros.”

But not everyone’s crying about it. Some players actually had a rough time with flags before—talk about getting teased for where you’re from. Like, this one person was Irish but in the UK, and they got stuck with the Union Jack. Another couldn’t even find their country on the Nintendo eShop, so they had to deal with a US flag. Can’t win, right?

And Miis. Ah, the Miis. People loved using those little custom characters back in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. But alas, they’re kinda missing in the new game too. Seems like players are feeling a bit nostalgic for them.

Anyway, it’s this whole mixed bag of feelings, sort of like when you find out your favorite ice cream flavor is discontinued. Some cool new stuff, but folks just can’t help missing old features. Mario Kart World’s doing great, but some players are just, well… they’ve got feels about it.
