Talk:Kanaami Road

Scope of this article

I do think it's useful to have an article about MKT's red T-variation roads, but I don't think the same can be said of chain-link roads in general. Nor do I even think those are quite the same concept: one is specifically an object added to a preexisting track in a T and/or R variation (and this article is even named after the filename for those specific objects), and the other is simply a material that some tracks are made out of. It's not as though we have articles for "Tarmac road" or "Dirt road". Ahemtoday (talk) 12:07, January 11, 2023 (EST)

Thing is, a few classic courses in Mario Kart Tour such as Toad Circuit and Piranha Plant Slide incorporate these so-called "kanaami roads" (or objects with an identical chain-link and red frame texture) in their regular variants, and in the same places where generic chain-link roads were situated in the courses' original appearances. I'd say that this is reason enough to give the latter some form of coverage, but restrict this coverage to cases wherein these generic chain-link roads were turned into the red-framed "kanaami roads" in Mario Kart Tour. An example where this didn't happen is the MKT rendition of GBA Bowser's Castle 2, which uses a different texture for the chain-link, meaning that neither it nor what was previously used in its stead in the DS and GBA versions of the course is relevant to the article. -- KOOPA CON CARNE 13:03, January 11, 2023 (EST)

Hm, interesting on how they get used in the normal versions. In that case, I think you've proposed a pretty sensible way to cover this. Ahemtoday (talk) 17:56, January 13, 2023 (EST)

New name possibly?

Do you think that Nintendo could possibly give them the name Roadmesh? They are a road made of mesh, after all.
