Fire Hoping was't completely removed in mk8(wii u) but it was basically rendered useless after they released the 200cc update.
With Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, they balanced and spruced up many of the game's core mechanics (Like drifting) and they fully removed firehopping.
they need to make weaving slow you down. Noobs that cant drive should not be able to pass me with no items and no draft boost.
try weaving in double dash. you will get passed. Oh and fire hopping is simple to remove. just make repetitive hopping slow you down as fast as hitting the grass. that stops fire-hopping noobs
as for the market place being dump. its not just mario kart. noobs were buying the same games again that were on xbox 360 when they were released on xbox 1. not to mention buying virtual console games 3 times. so its not just mario kart or nintendo.
