Re-add the WANTED poster from SRB2Kart into battle, replacing the emerald coaster or whatever its called. It now shows folks who get the TARGET mark on them; however, if someone is close to getting all 7 emeralds, it will prioritize and show that person instead.

Adding on to this, there should be a unique TARGET mark for wanted people that says “WANTED” instead of “TARGET”, to distinguish from item boxes more. Also if the emerald coaster should be kept, it could be moved under the blue sphere meter, like how radio racers does it with one of its hud options (see image)

Heya KKD, it wanted to offer a suggestion. An item bar instead of item boxes. In a 2.4 environment, it really feels like items (and rings) are vital, and missing a set can really kill your race. Made a funny picture that it feels happy about (but obviously not a perfect solution since it requires additional art assets and programming to be made for it) but essentially the idea is that it's this giant bar where if you drive under it, you get an item box and a spot of the light turns white, indicating driving through any amount of the white will give you a ring box instead of an item box. There's been a lot of situations where you can drive inbetween boxes and then you just die because first place is front running and and everyone around you is pull good boost items like 8 ring stacks and pairs of sneakers. You can even have the light disappear when you pass the the yellow beam to indicate that it's warming back up to white. Obviously, again, new assets and programming are needed for this, but it feels this would be a very Sonic The Hedgehog type of asset while solving the "whoops i missed an item box, guess I'll die" problem this game currently has.

We talked in Mogi Lounge a bit about this, and it doesnt want the game to be less punishing about the moments that really matter. The moments being the interactions between players, getting whipped and using offensive items should feel bad and are good plays by the opponents. But missing an item box doesn't feed that loop, it actually fights with it constantly, and it thinks that's bad for the game's health. People are fine with it, but it thinks more player interaction, where even bumping them into walls or off their lines is healthier for the game.

I love how Maruyama/Trouble Bruin looks in the western versions of Dynamite Headdy, I think an alt skin with similar coloring and the angry expression would be lovely

This is something really minor but I think given how light their roads are, Sundae Drive and Scarlet Gardens ought to use SubtractNum.
