Just some idea I just came up with

I can't fall asleep, so I thought I should to do.

So, I was just playing Mario Kart 64 for a little while earlier today, and I realized that some way that the next Mario Kart game could encourage skill more. My idea was to allow the player to get any item in the entire item wheel by timing his/her button press. To make it actually require constant attention from the player, the game could do plenty of things to change the way the item wheel thing works. That could be inconsistent speed, or empty slots, or maybe having it to begin turning in the other direction half-way through the process. All of the items would also have randomized for every time the player runs into the item box. I dunno, just an idea I had.

Making the next mario kart require some skill is simple. the old mario karts already did it. Remove the steering assist, the auto accelerate, When u fall off you have to tumble all the way down like in mario kart 64, Get rid of the boost from being behind other players, when u weave side to side you should actually loose speed, No bullet. Thats just a few. Oh an no holding items on your ass.
 
Another way to make Mario Kart more interesting is removing steering altogether

I don't think making the controls more complex or simple would really change anything inherently. I say that because some of the most simple racers, like F-Zero, can often be the most challenging. I also say it because over-complicating the control scheme can cause Sonic Rides syndrome, which would obviously not work for something as widely played and understood as Mario Kart.
