Well, it did come out of nowhere without warning. As far as we know, the microphone only works in the hub room before the match starts, so you can at least say "Let's all choose ____ track" or "I have to go" or do some trash-talking. I'd like it if there was actual voice chat during friend matches, but I can almost understand why not because I'd be lying if I said I have never shouted obscene words in frustration while playing Mario Kart.
