I'm replaying many N64 games and one of them is Diddy Kong Racing. Amazing game and it was awesome now as it was back then.
Since there's like 0% chance of Diddy Kong Racing making a come back (who owns the IP btw?), maybe Mario Kart could step in and incorporate the two things that made DKR an epic game:
Different types of vehicles
Adventure mode
I think Adventure Mode would fit Mario Kart very well. Nintendo is good at coming up with silly stories for Mario to take on, so they could definitely come up with a nice story for the game. Mario already has many different types of levels since the NES (Lava, Ice, mountains, sky, forest, etc).
For the vehicles it would also fit very well. I don''t like how you can drive underwater as if it's (almost) the same as driving normally. It has always been weird to me. The glider is cool, but an airplane it's 100% cooler. Maybe if they want underwater levels they could make a submarine race, or something like that. DKR had hovers, but Mario Kart could have Jetski.
IMO, Nintendo opened pandora box with Mario Kart 8 because there tons of possibilities with the future of the series. They can have characters, vehicles and items from any series (and maybe even third party), so they could also have different type of vehicles (imagine Fox McCloud having his Airwing for an airplane.
