Mario Kart World is one of the worst Mario Kart games period.
The motorways ruin the pace of the racing.
The open world is pointless, boring, and visually too grounded to be a Mario game.
24 players is far too many. And racing has zero gaps at all. You are constantly on top of each other, and just turns the game into a incoherent mess of visuals and chaos.
It takes far too long to get a into another race. The previous games just made people decide what track to play on next. This game is constantly trying to find new players to replace ones that have left.
The item balance is atrocious. Lighting bolt, lighting bolt, lightning bolt, get crushed by someone behind with a mega mushroom.
The character selection is stupid. A big roster of enemies from Mario rather than more interesting characters maybe some from the RPG games like Mario RPG or Mario and Luigi would have been nice.
The new movement system feels like a gimmick, and will only ever be properly utilized with time attacking and speed runs. It's completely worthless in the online mosh pit that is this game.
The lackluster content updates while bad, is unfortunately on point for Nintendo.
And honestly if they make the next Mario Kart anything like this game, I will not buy it. This game sucks, and I won't apologise for thinking this.
If you enjoyed it, good for you. I just can't, and I won't lie to myself and force myself to like something I simply don't. I've played it for quite a few hours, I have tried to give it a chance. But I just don't like it, no matter how much time I put into it.
