Today’s game is Mario Kart World. I was debating picking up the console because my Switch 1 is broken, but also it’s outrageously expensive. Luckily, it doesn’t seem like I’ll have to do that as it was bought by my family instead for the younglings to play. So now I get to experience it without the massive price tag of the game or console.
My consensus was just kind of “Yep, that certainly is the next Mario Kart”. It’s not anything special in my opinion compared to the others, but also Mario Kart doesn’t really need to be. Mario Kart is the kind of game I throw on when I have friends over. It’s not this big thing I spend hours myself trying to complete. It’s certainly not worth that outrageous price tag though.
One thing I’ve liked about it is the outfits. Horribly organized, but they have some amazing outfits. Like for example Rosalina’s Halloween ish outfit. It’s got this cool design that reminds me of sea anemones.
The character roster feels a bit stretched to meet the goal of racers(looking at you Cataquacks and Cow). They’re fun and funky additions but take up too much space on the roster for me to really justify them being there.
Overall, it’s Mario Kart again. Not something id spend all that money on, but to each their own I suppose. I was also wanting to talk about the races, but there’s a lot to talk about there, and I’m wiped (something I’m sure shows in this post. I’m legit passing out while typing this) after a long day today, so maybe this won’t be the last time this shows up as id love to discuss the races.
I haven’t played too much of the MK: World, busy with DK: Bananza these days, but there is a really good DK track in the game. Have you played that yet? I still have about half the tracks that I haven’t played, so can’t say much about rest of them.
For me, Mario Kart is just to play with family, or sometimes play solo when I don’t want to play anything else, so don’t have much issues with it.
I know about DK Pass and the one with the Giant Robot DK, is it any of those? DK pass is a favorite from DS (I like the song) and the other one is memorable for the… yknow… giant metal DK. Both are pretty solid and I liked playing them. The giant metal DK one had this section where I jumped over barrels in a recreation of the OG arcade game which was awesome.

It was DK Space Port, not sure if that’s Giant Robot DK or DK Pass though.
