Helmsly there, accidentally showing us that Smart Steering is back.

They mentioned it in the treehouse that you can switch it on. 

Unless you mean he's the first to mention it here.

They're gonna need to put a PEGI 16 rating on this, now.

I mean, look, you can totally see her nipples!

That's obscene, maybe!

We've seen Mario's already. Slowly going to end up seeing everyone's.

I am not sure exactly what this is but it seems like there are extra temporary vehicles on the tracks that you can change into ?

I guess the trailer in the Direct showed a driver driving into the inside of a truck and then controlling that for a short while so I assume it’s the same situation here but with some kind of hovercraft.

Yeah, pretty much, but that footage makes it a lot more clearer that you, the player, control this big vehicle, instead of it being a Bullet Bill kind of deal.
I imagine in a race you can use it to ram other players and flip them over.

I do wonder if there's some method of stopping first place just getting there first and nicking it in a race.

I'll have my complete thoughts written up on my time at the Switch 2 Experience and all the games in the main Switch 2 thread tomorrow, but to share the only thought I can (and want) to cohesively string together right now:

I played as Cow. Exclusively. Several times. There was a multiplayer race (closest I've ever come to a LAN party and I loved it), and 10 of 24 of us were Cow. 

That is all :p

They tried to get you to stop but you would not be kowtowed. They told you to moove but you udderly refused and now Nintendo's got beef with you.

Oh lord, this really is going to be Funky Kong all over again, isn't it?

All these great obscure Mario characters playable for the first time, and you pick one that isn't even a thing.

No better then Pink Gold Peach, you know?

If it wasn't Cow, I think it would've been Goomba 

But there is Cow

So no Goomba

I watched a few videos of people at the Switch 2 event and it seems Cow was the most chosen racer:

You watched too much early Simpsons. It's ingrained in you.

I’m not saying that I went to the Switch 2 London Experience event today and came first in all four games I played (including two 24 player Knockout tournaments), but… :cool:

BTW, how did that Suddenly Bombs taste @Glen-i? ;)

Ah-ha! You admit it at last!

So, he's talking about the first Knockout Tour we did. We were a group of 5, so in the line, we decided that we'd all pick the same character and work together to get 4 of us to the top 4, where all bets would then be off, and we scrap it out. I suggested going with a character who has style, but not so much that people gravitate towards them, and also not go for the obvious meme character like a certain other person here went for yesterday.

I suggested Hammer Bro. I defy anyone to pick a better fit. I was right, we were the only ones of the 24 who did so. There were only 3 Cows. Honeymoon period there already wearing off. Good.

So it was going well, absolute chaos, but we were able to identify fellow Bros, and hold back when necessary. All 5 of us made it to the top 12.

And then, Dcubed, the utter scumbag that he is, threw a Bob-omb right in front of me! It all went wrong there. I dropped from 1st to 11th and I just couldn't catch up.

But Glen, I hear you ask, how did he know you were the Hammer Bro he was aiming for? Everyone had their own TV! It was only a 25% chance that it'd be you.

Well, you see. I managed to find an inward drifting bike during the VS CPU race portion of the Mario Kart experience, but I'm the only one in our group who swears by that kind of drift. So he saw a Hammer Bro on a bike, knew it was me, and betrayed me!

Bowser will be notified.

Still, none of the 3 Cows won, so silver lining there...

In fact, the betrayal was so immense, that when we went back for a second Knockout race, the handler assigned to my TV that time asked "Wait, were you that Hammer Bro guy who got bombed by his friend?"

Yes, yes I was.

Turns out the person who was at that TV on the first race got knocked out pretty early, which means they were watching 1st place (Me) through MKTV.

They saw everything @Dcubed. They know what you did!
