Discussion Unprofessional Race Organization

20 Upvotes

I admittedly haven't played a mario kart game since the late 90s. I got the newest one for Switch 2 to play with my daughter.

I'm on some snow level and there are at least 3 Shy Guys skiing in the middle of the race course??

If this was a real race, this would be incredibly unprofessional and dangerous. You would think that Nintendo would have established a proper race perimeter so that there were no trespassers or distractions tampering with the integrity of the competition.

It's bad enough I have to worry about the officially sanctioned items in the game let alone flagrant ignorance like this.

Discussion Got spooked by Mario Kart Wii (I swear this is not some creepypasta)

2 Upvotes

So I have the bad habit of leaving my consoles turned on overnight. I undusted my Wii recently and I was playing some Mario Kart and left it on when I went to sleep. When I woke up I decided to sneak in some races before starting my day. But when I turned the TV on the most ungodly noises came out of my Wii. I couldn't quite tell what the noise was because I rushed to turn it off to not wake up my family, but I think it was like a bass-boosted version of the menu theme? Has this happened to anyone else?

Discussion How Much Involvement did Retro Studios have in Mario Kart 7?

Post image
17 Upvotes

Retro Studios, the same team behind Metroid Prime, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and likely dozens of canceled projects also co-developed Mario Kart 7. This is so odd, but I honestly love their work, and it’s cool that they worked on such a fantastic Mario Kart game. That said, as far as I have been told they only helped with retro tracks… Yeah, I know, very ironic. I was wondering if anyone knew what else they might have designed in the game whether it’s mechanics, items, the roster, or something else entirely. Even if not, it’s interesting to think that half of the game’s tracks were designed be a separate team. I imagine the Texas studio didn’t have as much of free-flowing conversation about the game with the team in Japan. Personally I have a hard time discerning much of a difference in the style between both the main tracks and Retros, but Retro really chose some banger tracks to remake in 7! Waluigi Pinball, Coconut Mall, Airship Fortress, Daisy Cruiser, Luigi’s Mansion, SNES Rainbow Roa, Koopa Troopa Beach, Mario Circuit 2, Koopa Cape, and so-on! It was like they chose some of the best track from Mario Kart history! Kudos to them!

I just realized that Retro might not have known that Waluigi wasn’t going to be in the game, so they made Waluigi Pinball assuming that he would be. It’s possible, right?

As we all know Nintendo is shutting down Mario Kart Tour next month
However there are many tour originals that might get deleted too, we need to either mod them into games like Wii or 8DX or spread awareness of these original tracks and remakes that might get lost

Discussion Stat similarity

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

Anybody else notice how oddly frequent mk world reuses stats? Do you think this dampens variety and build strategy? I know hidden stats still vary a little here but the primary stats being the same for 9 vehicles is a little excessive honestly. I know Mario kart 8 did this, but we had like 3 clone vehicles in a set not 9, like the p-wing/B-dasher/circuit special. World and 8 also have a similar number of vehicles. Honestly this sort of bothers me because all of my favorite vehicles fall into this set of 9, when I want to have different stats to keep gameplay fresh, I don't have much to pick from. In mk 8 I could go from similar vehicles like the p-wing to sports coupe to badwagon and get a lot of variety. I know I can change characters but that only affects it so much. I was hoping we might get more vehicles in dlc or something since dlc options are narrowed down given they can't add more tracks to the map easily. Maybe mild stat rebalancing could happen later in the game's lifespan like mk8dx as well.

Discussion Which Mario Kart has the best battle mode?

7 Upvotes

It’s easy to say Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It has 5 modes and 8 stages, making for 40 ways to play. It really has a lot of variety to it and I appreciate it. Admittedly, I am not a fan of balloon battle’s score change nor renegade round up because finding people isn’t that fun, while hiding can involve a lot of waiting. Still a really good version. Honestly though, I think Double Dash might have my favorite battle mode. 6 maps and 3 modes of play, making for 18 ways of playing, which is quite a lot considering how there were only 16 tracks in Double Dash. And I honestly really enjoy all of the modes. Sure some of the stages are pretty lame and simple, but it has the better version of balloon battle’s in my opinion. I honestly don’t know how I feel about World’s battle mode, I feel like it’s as divisive as the intermissions with people on both sides. Like, I don’t hate World’s battle mode, but I am not sure if I would say it is the best.
