Twitter is dying for ‘Mario Kart 9’: The best memes dreaming of a new game

Nintendo delighted fans Tuesday with the announcement that they will hold a fifty-minute presentation on Wednesday. This is the longest presentation the company has had in some years, indicating to fans and critics alike that big releases are on the way. 

Rumors have been swirling around for months that Nintendo intends to drop Mario Kart 9 this year, a continuation of the popular racing game. Here are some of the best tweets from fans begging for a new installment. 

As Spongebob said, “I’m ready”

If the rumors are true, we are ready. Our eyes are ready. Our hands are ready. Our childhoods are ready. Heck our PTO is ready to take off work to play.

Literal fire 

Have you ever thought about what Mario Kart would look like in real life? It wouldn’t be this cartoony race. It would be “flame-thrower-while-riding-a-go-kart” awesome.

Coconut mall

The Coconut mall course has not appeared in the Mario Kart franchise since Mario Kart Wii in 2008 and Mario Kart 7 in 2011. But some fans are still craving an updated version of the track with course-changing escalators. Hey, to each their own. 

Searching for something

With all this Mario talk, some Twitter users are scouring the internet for a glimpse of the new trailer. Who knows? Maybe the Weeknd knows where it is. Actually, let’s ask him. 

Dressing up

Hey, we won’t judge what you wore to your cousin’s wedding, your streamed graduation ceremony, or what you wear to remote work every day. But you should dress up for the Nintendo Direct announcement tomorrow. Black tie required.

Dear Nintendo

Judging by how many people on Twitter requested you bring back Super Mario Strikers, you’d think Mario Kart 9 wasn’t a possibility. So bring that back too. You will get even more buttloads of money. 

Make it real

What if Mario Kart 9 wasn’t a video game but a real event where people hop on go-karts and ride around major metropolitan cities? Now, we’d play that in a heartbeat. 

Nintendo Direct expectations

If watching this Direct event tomorrow doesn’t automatically place that missing $1400 in our bank accounts tomorrow, we riot at dawn.

The real reason we want Mario Kart 9

Getting hit with a blue shell by the father figure in your life is a rite of passage. If your parent doesn’t rub their questionably won victory in your face, did you even have a childhood? Now, we must pass the tradition on to the next generation. Adults, get your dance pants ready.
