My biggest problem with MWS is that I have no freaking idea how it
should work. If you have TimeTrial, GrandPrix and QuickRace and a
whole bunch of multiplayer modes you have only very few options that
overlap each and every mode and a whole bunch of others that are mode
specific. How do you deal with that, constantly disable/enable,
hide/unhide a bunch of GUI widgets, wouldn't that completly confuse
players?

The other issue is with multiplayer, I want to select my kart myself,
I don't want to talk to the guy at the mouse to select the right one
for me. MWS would really slow this down a lot, compared to SWS where
everybody could select their own kart in paralell.

Even every PC game I know does SWS for character, track selection and
such.
