I love the new kart sprites, and even though it means everyone who made custom characters will need to redraw them, we would have had to do that anyway because of the new color palette. I've also noticed teaser images on the Discord server that appear to show AI path nodes, which makes me excited that we may be getting AI racers and proper single player modes (though even if that's not the case, the addition of the rings and their influence on speed should open up enough new possibilities for track optimization that I'd have another go at collecting Record Attack medals).
It's been a while since this thread was last updated, heh. Let me fix that with the 3rd Anniversary preview video the team's put together, of a stage which'll be coming in the next major version (when it's done).
Bonus: Christmas Showcase Zone: Joypolis Zone Mapping and Texturework: Chengi He was very excited to make this map a big passionate love letter to SEGA itself
