Mario Kart Wii Rant minus

The first try can frustrate many [even myself (especially trying to use the wii wheel]. The one that still gets me is the bikes 2 drive systems(can't seemto get the second one down). But once you get used to it, gameplay becomes quite enjoyable. Its just the antics behind this game gets too much on item rapture (item hits received consecutively) and tier cheats (abuse of top tiers to gain wins). Can tolerate the antics but may want to make individual vehicle ratings alongside overall ratings in siren of abuse. Unlockables are more of the same with some variety but may want more of that variety (character variation clear but more on vehicle and track).

Gamer's brainstorm: Dueling Operations

Tag system: Using a D-pad they may be able to do a 5-character tag system using right stick as assists (direction then press). T&A direction will change by characters left.

Customization: Use of garments/armors in combination with weapon and elements creates variants in moves and tiers. 5 tiers: Skill, Force, Speed, Range, Trick. Moves have a 0 to 5 rating & overall on 1 to 10 rating. Skill in moves is balance in moves and overall is ranking in duels.

Bonuses: extra customizations, extensions to current character, roster expansions, and modes need to be unlocked through scoring currency. Some may have achievements as a lock to those bonuses simple or not.
