Closest thing to child abuse in the game are the various baby characters such as Baby Mario can be attacked with the various in game items like Shells and Bananas, but they don’t get hurt and are quickly able to start driving again

There aren’t any horses in this game aside from one Kart that has horse decorations on it. The horses on the Kart don’t get damaged even if you fall of the track or get hit

Some racetracks have underwater sections, but they’re usually somewhat brief and you’re not struggling to breathe when underwater

Fireballs are an item that you can hit enemies with but they'll simply spin out, although if it's an NPC they might die in the typical Mario fashion, I can't confirm this.

Some tracks have escalators (such as Coconut Mall) and stairs in them which you drive up and down on, but you can’t fall down them and get hurt.

Some courses have areas where racers can fall off. Thankfully, Lakitu arrives and lifts them up before they fall far, placing them back on the course. It can still be a bit scary if you’re afraid of heights.

There are many non human characters in the game such as Yoshi, Shy Guy, and Koopa Troopa. You can fall off of the track which is kind of like losing a life in a video game, however before you fall to your death you are rescued by Lakitu and are alright and begin racing again.

Not in game, but when playing online it’s possible someone might have an inappropriate username which has a variant of the R slur in it, but the actual word is blocked by Nintendo’s swear filter. If you don’t play online you won’t encounter these words.

There's a Boo item that steals items from other players, the haunted house course has Boos and I think the other Mario ghosts flying around, and King Boo is playable.

No one is actually eaten, but the Piranha Plant item chomps at nearby players, stunning them.

Intentionally falling off of the track could be considered to be attempting suicide, but you don’t actually die from falling as you’re rescued by the character Lakitu

You can intentionally fall off of the track, but you’re quickly rescued by Lakitu before you can fall and die

The baby characters do cry upon losing, but there is little audio accompanying this.

As with most other categories, this would only be encountered in online play and most bad words are blocked but may be worked around by replacing letters with numbers. This can be avoided if playing in single player and I’m pretty sure inappropriate names can be reported

There was a time when I found a tournament online with a version of the hard r that got past the censors but I'm sure they've cracked down hard on this activity.

The game doesn’t really have a story and therefore there’s no ending that could be sad.

It’s a kart racing game so of course there’d be car honking and tire screeching sound effects. There’s a button you can press to honk your horn and when drifting for a while tire screeching sounds can be heard. If needed you can play the game with sound off if you don’t want to hear the triggering sounds

Players can drive off of cliffs, collide with obstacles, etc. but if you fall off you simply get lifted back up by Lakitu.

You can hit certain npcs with your kart, but they aren't affected by it. This is because they're far larger than you.
