Thanks, that is good to know.
I do hope that consumers notice and make a big enough fuss to avoid this in the future. Many people will never realize that they aren't even controlling the game directly. People went crazy over the Super Guide, but I thought it was generally fine. Imagine that it was on by default, though, with no notice that it even existed. Young and new players would never have the journey that comes with figuring out the game, and would just think they were playing it normally.
Maybe it is fine for Nintendo to convert Mario Kart from a racing game to a game more focused on item management. With their implementation of Smart Steering, that may be the direction they want to take the series.
