Over the last few days, rumors about the next Mario Kart game have been circulating online, following Dr. Serkan Toto from Kantan Games telling GamesIndustry.biz that a new game is in active development, and that it will have a twist.

Others are hoping to see the return of the two-player Karts from Double Dash, or a return for every previous Mario Kart track.
