Mario Kart: Revenge of Snaking

Mario Kart: Revenge of Snaking is the thirteenth installment in the Mario Kart series. It will be released in 2027. As the name implies. the infamous snaking mechanic returns. This game will increase the amount of racers on each track to 24. It will be the last game in the Mario Kart series to use the traditional gameplay, as the next installment, Mario Kart Revamped, will introduce completely new gameplay.

Items
Many items from previous Mario Kart games return. This game introduces four new items: the White Spiny Shell, Thwomp, Rotten Mushroom, and P-Wing. The Superball Flower, P Balloon, and Spring Mushroom from Mario Kart: Circuit Madness are absent from the game. The Water Flower returns as an item after eight years of absence. The Feather also returns as an item, as well as the Invincibility Leaf, P-Switch, and Special Crown.

Item Changes
P-Switch: Appears above the kart and flattens itself for about 5 seconds before disappearing. On the third strike, it causes the nearest player to spin out and turns his items into Brick Blocks, rendering him unable to use or obtain any items for 10 seconds. This item can be avoided if the player is in the air.

New Items
White Spiny Shell: Targets the player in last place instead of first place.

Thwomp: Can be thrown, and flattens any nearby racers.

P-Wing: Allows the player to fly over the track.

Rotten Mushroom: Can be thrown, and homes in on the nearest kart. On contact, it will flip over the kart and halve the player's speed.

Tracks
For the first time in a Mario Kart game, there isn't a Mario Circuit, Bowser's Castle, or Rainbow Road track. Also, there isn't a single retro track in the game, despite the Shell, Banana, Leaf, and Lightning Cups appearing in the game. All of the tracks in this game are based on stages from several Sonic games.
