I don't know about this one, I have ps/xbox brain as well, but putting confirm on the right side somehow always made more sense to me, even though my muscle memory doesn't agree.
The first was amazing as well, but I always figured its niche type of problem solving and philosophical subjects didn't really appeal to a wide audience. When the second one was announced I immediately wanted to play it, but I think once again a small target audience is its crutch for mainstream success.

The best shot I've ever seen of an F1 lap, between that straight line race with Coulthard, that dry lap with Lawson and that wet lap from Verstappen, I'm floored!
Oh for sure, the UX is horrible, but I find the UI quite pretty. Could definitely use better playlist managegement, this could be the same interface more geared towards music managing.
Nothing warranted your hostility? Anyway, the post (not the comment obviously) is asking how much impact coins have on the game. Answer? A lot, the exact number is not known but general consensus is 0.5-1% per coin, which on an average laptime of 35 seconds, could save you 1.7-3.5 seconds per lap. If you've ever played a racing game, that is the very definition of dramatic, grinding some time trails will even reveal that fact to you.
If you still haven't noticed the dramatic difference 10 coins makes even in multiplayer, that's a skill issue on your side.
And then maybe, if you get good, you'll notice some coins have less importance than others, but in general go for the coins, they will help you gather momentum and dramatically increase your chance of winning.
Time trials are not the same as head-to-head racing
Time trail just demonstrates the effect for you if you look at the splits. Having 10 coins is a major advantage and will increase your chances of, grabbing the lead and staying first. Every time you have a larger amount of coins will ensure that even if you get hit, you still have more coins than the person behind you. Literally being the difference between getting an overtake opportunity again or falling further behind.
are the people who keep hold of 10 coins in multiplayer games always the ones who win?
That is a very different question from your post, Mariokart is an arcade racer with a lot of RNG, no-one can guarantee a win with that much RNG. What you can do is increase your chances dramatically.
There is no need to argue, go into time trail, complete a track twice. Once with coins and once without and you'll notice a very significant difference (depending on skill ofcourse). Trying to go for records and missing one coin early on just kills your chances. I cant quantity how much though, but it's really significant.
As a European, I have never once had an extra person there whose sole purpose is putting your groceries into bags, what a strange concept.
