Still the best racing game of 2025 and its not even close.
that's a low bar
>>724864063*only
>>724864063Based
>>724864063i wonder how many other kart racers will start doing wall riding, and rail grinding after this
done with nintendonot interested
>>724864063The soundtrack was more impressive than the game, itself
>>724864063Not sonic? I didn't play either but it's well rated
>>724864235Nobody actually likes the gameplay of Sonic racing games. Crossdressingworlds only has the paltry number of players it has entirely because it’s GAASslop like CTR was, where you’re compelled to play the weekly event shit because it’s faster to grind for stickers and shit if you play at the “correct” time. They are ensnared by mobile gaming mentality.
>>724864235Sonic’s pretty light on content, all things considered. And none of the tracks are as good as in mkw
>>724864442The tracks in mkw are straight lines
>>724864563the crossworlds are straight lines
>>724864563contrary to what /v/ told you, MKW actually has 29 tracks that are mostly top tier Mario Kart tracks. the "straight lines" you hear about are just the parts inbetween those tracks.
>>724864563Are we going to have to break out the compilation of all the Sonic tracks that are fucking straight lines too?
>>724864063its very boring to play
No other racing game this year has daisy so yeah
>>724864063>Still the best racing game of 2025>it literally drives by itselfThis is what nindiaper babies with their amiibo collection actually believe.
>>724864821Do you not know hot change settings
>>724864175Anon, rail grinding had been done before (and to better effect) in Sonic Riders.
>>724864063Mario Kart is a party game with a racing theme, not a real racing game. And World is trash.
>>724864896those are some weird looking karts
>>724864394Sad
>>724864868Nintendo players don't that's why they made it the default.
So are they waiting to do dlc after air riders comes out?
>>724865031No, it’s just you
>>724865032they're waiting 4 years
>>724865119Nah, I don’t think it’ll be that long
>>724864682*30
>>724864807
Would you like some mission dlc for free roam?
>>724864807based>>724865238cringe
>>724865313
>>724864896I wonder why Sonic stopped doing that
Has toadette plus the baby blopper been nerfed yet?
I wish the character redesigns were a permanent change for the series
>>724865227ah my bad, i was thinking it was 28+rainbow road, but its 29+ rainbow road.
People keep talking about how there should be more knockout tours but how would you do them?
>>724865557Slightly related but some tracks also have alternate variants
>>724864195Shit taste
>>724865575there's no reason they can't just do a random or custom Knockout Tour where you just pick a starting point and draw a line across six tracks. although what i really want is Knockout all cup tour, just a massive marathon across all 30 tracks.
>>724865732That’d be utter kino, would it have the standard 24 or more?
>>724865365
>>724865685I wish there was an easier way to access daisy’s palace
>>724865815>>724865365A lot of extra propulsion in there..
>>724864896>>724865398>ride rails with your shoes in the main games>can't ride rails with your cars/EG in racing games made after the first SASR>MKW sucks shit and isn't worth copyingFuck this, and fuck kart racism too.
>>724865778I think ideally it'd support 32 with 1 person getting knocked out per course.
>>724865901I think you just have bad taste
>>724864656>>724864694>"T-those don't count"
>>724865908That’d be clever
>>724865498Hopefully at least the next 3d mario does it
>>724865732>the Le Mans of mario kart>a grueling marathon of 30 tracks i hope that's becomes a thing
>>724865941You're definitely more miserable than I'll ever be if you genuinely think that.
I haven’t played Mario kart since DS
>>724866161Stop projecting
>>724866136That mode would be insane after dlc, imagine going through 90 tracks back to back
>>724866230Is DS generally considered the peak of the series?
>>724866263>intentional argumentative dismissal into "you're projecting!!!1"get new material, or better yet, go find someone else to farm (You)s off of
>>724866464quit being so miserable, dude
daisy was built for breast expansion
>>724865304I would if they were more complex than the base game missions
>>724866602More like butt expansion
>>724866512please stop bothering me, I'm not your dad, I can't fix your shitty life that causes you to randomly start arguments on 4chan when people voice their complainsPLEASE stop responding to me I genuinely don't want your autism
>>724865895Ew
>>724866762No, you getting so pissy is funny
I wish there were more new items
I really like the movement
>>724866953what type of item would you like?more attack items? more booster items? more fucking over player 1 items?
>bring back the feather>don't make ANY feather shortcuts in any of the tracksThey massacred my boy.
>>724867083I’d like a reverse blue shell that punishes baggers or cappy
>>724867104What the fuck are you talking about, there are tons of them, especially with the new parkour system?
>>724864807The Karters 2 has Daisy, actually
>>724864807Based.
>>724867148they just need to make boo more common, and make boo target whichever item has been held onto the longest.
>>724867223Sad that game got ignored
>>724867235
>>72486721699% of the time if you try something fun with the feather that faggot lakitu comes and grabs you. Even on obvious spots like the part of rainbow road where the track is winding back and forth you can't jump from one section to the next cutting a turn.
>>724867148lol holy shit>pink boos>steal all of the items from the the last 10 placesthat's one way to make people hate the game
>>724867387Punishing bagging makes up for it
>>724867148or just make it so items have a time limit before the automatically get used
>>724867349
>>724867289Yeah it's really good. But an indie kart racer will never be popular.
>>724867683Activision should just allow them to use crash and call it ctr 2, that way, the game has a famius character behind it and ctr gets on pc in a way
>>724864063Already forgotten about
>>724864063The more I play the intermissions, the more they grow on me as a concept. Plus the fact that the new Cup set-up allows almost every Cup to be interesting to play through.
>>724867901I’m convinced more people would like them had they not been so forced, let people naturally decide to use them as an option
>>724866136I've mapped out something similiar as an All Cup idea that works with the 32 Races option World already provides. It was fun to drive through.
>>724864063lol
>>724864063About to get mogged by KirbyIntermission tracks can go suck a nigger dick
Could a mode like air riders’ city trial work in mkw
>>724867991Yeah, as someone that likes them perfectly fine, I still think that regular 3 laps should've at least been an option that you can choose.
>>724868167It’s oddly backwards considering modern nintendo’s direction of trying to give their players as much freedom in game as possible, especially for an open world game
>>724865032I hope it’s dk themed if they do it soon
>>724868471They did DK dirty in World. Only 1 costume and they didn't even add any for Bananza's launch.
>>724864063That Disney one unironically plays better
>>724868607Same with pauline, that and the lack of diddy and funky
>>724867235Ftfy
>>724868607it really is wild, like it was easy to assume they were holding back on his outfits for some kind of Bananza promotional event, and then nothing.
>>724868137Have a feeling Air Riders will be really good but unfortunately no one will play it
>>724868760I think it will have a sizable playerbase for a while but will eventually become more niche
>>724868715
>>724868760>>724868940Yeah Air Riders doesn't seem like it'll have long lasting normalfag appeal compared to stuff like Mario Kart.
>>724868760i think nintendo knows that too, im just happy they fund these sorts of projects for those like us that are fans
>>724869065The lack of dlc, while nice as it means it’ll be a complete package on release, sadly means there won’t be as much reason to go back to it for some people
>Doesn’t have consistent threads which hit bump limitLol lmao even?
>>724869282Crossworlds doesn’t either unless you count temu /sthg/
Game is excellent mechanically. The jumping, grinding, wall riding and mid air bouncing is incredibly satisfying. Tracks are almost all great. KO Tour is a lot of fun. Aesthetic, kart and character design are all really good. And I like the open world mission mode.The game just lacks a bunch of options for no reason, the battle mode was botched, item balance is a little bit annoying, the stickers a total waste of customization, and muh intermissions. Game could could’ve been the definitive peak of the franchise if they didn’t mess up the small shit. But it’s still my favorite by far, super addicting
>>724864063Nah.
>>724864807Daisy Feet
>>724869384Really hope they improve the battle mode soon
>>724869282The Crossworlds threads have devolved into nothing but complaining about the meta and occasional erp spam. Plus they're slow as molasses when there's not a festival going on. Sometimes it's better to not have a 24/7 general.
>every single nintendo thread devolves into porn spam>zero actual gameplay discussion Really makes one wonder.
>>724869416Are the only tracks in crossworlds that don’t come from a mainline sonic game or sonic racing game just mario kart ripoffs?
>>724869568>ignores my discussion to whineFuck off, you only make threads worse
>>724869568Nice bait
>>724869621>nintendo invented malls
>>724864807This game sold me on Daisy
The kamek orb should’ve been a wonder flower
>>724869892Agreed, but only if they actually made the effects more wacky than spawning enemies
>>724869961What other effects would you want
>>724869892if they did that, then they should've made the tracks terrain also change.
>>724869621>it's okay when my childhood friend Nintendo blatantly steals game mechanics from other gamesYeah, we know.
What’s the purpose of the different vehicles in the races like the truck and ufo?
>>724869889Same here
>>724864807I love more daisy but she keeps being put in mediocre games. wonder is worse than new soupU and mkw might be the worst console mk.
>>724870218I can’t tell if you’re joking or just a faggot
>>724870087>he thinks they stole it from crash, not F-zero GX
>>724870280Will F-zero ever come back?
>wonder is worse than new soupUyou went to far with the bait anon, no one believes you
>>724870106To give a temporary edge to the one who gets them if you know how they work.
>>724870342No, because it was sega of all companies that made the last one so good nintendo literally doesn't even want to try anymore.
>>724869282crossworlds is better but there really is nothing to really discuss anymore. nothing will ever surpass wumpatime
>>724870342No one at Nintendo cares for itGX only happened because Toshihiro Nagoshi wanted to do it and last I heard he's busy building his social credit score in China these days
>>724870016Ground going wavy, water level rising, ice physics, inchworm pipes you have to time driving through, roller koopas that create grind rails. Stuff like that could be fun
>>724870342maybe, after they did F-Zero 99
>>724870550Damn
>>724870404nta but it is tho, NSMBU is vastly superior, specially the multiplayer
>>724870550he got fired from the netease company after his game,Visions of Mana flopped hard
>>724870710https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGn25URIss8
>>724870710Awful fucking taste. And the multiplayer collision made the levels overly large and empty
>>72487034299 was fun. Every F-Zero game is available on NSO so there's that too. It feels like the series might return soon but this also feels like a bad era of Nintendo so expect the next one to feel safe and retread old ground (likely the aesthetics and music of the SNES game or X) instead of having a distinct identity.
>>724870404>it feels faster>co-op is more engaging since you can actually interact with other players>wonder gimmicks are just spectacle and not really fun to play withboth games bosses are shit, but wonder which should have been able to do cool shit might actually be worse. the only thing wonder has going for it is aesthetic.
>>724864063Wait for the Gran Turismo 7 update in December
>>724870756That was a different guy I'm pretty sure, was also a middle aged Jap who dressed like a teenager though
>>724869462Any update would be nice. Hopefully we get one by early next year
>>724870946We did already get that ufo unlock one so maybe another one will come soon
>>724870873>feels fasterlol no. And wonder mechanics are mostly fun, and the levels are better designed even without activating them
>>724871115>skip wonder gimmick in level>rest of level is weirdly emptynah cuh
>>724870867What do you mean “a bad era”
>>724870921Why?
They should let you race on the snes tribute tracks
>>724871198>empty levelsHilarious thing to accuse Wonder of while praising NSMB
>>724871531when did I praise nsmb? I just said its better, which is hardly a compliment
Speaking of wonder, it’s sad how the talking flower is more likely to become a playable character than anything from odyssey besides pauline
>>724870342>Last update for 99 was AprilI think it’s going the path of Mario 35 of being taken out of service. It’s a shame too because Romhacks make tons of new tracks for free, F-Zero 55 is worth checking out
>>724871706Will do
I haven't played a Mario Kart after 64.
>>724871201Such a cutie
>>724871645Pretending that shit series is better than anything is an accolade it does not deserve. And its levels are actually empty unlike Wonder, don’t be obtuse, if possible for you
>>724870816Skill issue
>>724871854Why?
>>724869707Nintendo invented Rail Grinding
>top CC l1am boycotts 12 player competitive and now plays 24 players. Calls 12 players boring> he now has started liking intermissions because he's actually learning tech on them.>his only consistent complaint is boomerang existing now.MKW is peak.
>>724871916I also only said soupU. I think that's pretty fair
>>724871976Who?
>>724871660Agreed, I was hoping we’d see more Odyssey species going forward. Love the tostarenans. But if we get some Wonder effects and new enemies for that game, I’m happy
Sorry but peach is cuter than anyone else in any other kart game.
>>724871920Yes, the devs were very unskilled
>>724872035I’d play the shit out of a tostarenan
>>724871980>not even New Super Luigi Ucome on anon, do you even know how to shitpost
>>724872065Hard to say
>>724871980That game was a total bore, couldn’t finish it after multiple attempts
>>724871960And yet mario and kirby uses them in their racing games nowadays while sonic doesn’t
What past courses do you think could work well as dlc?
>>724872420WARIO COLOSSEUM!WHERE THE FUCK IS IT.
>>724872576I guess wario stadium took precedent
Would you agree it has the best rainbow road in the series?
Didn't the hack say that the first mk dlc will be dk themed?
>>724872934I hope so
They really fucked up rosalina’s voice in this game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GdpnpkVV5FQ
>>724872197I figured that was implied
>>724864175I hope more
>>724870087Was nitro kart any good?
Everybody was sucking Sonic Racing's dick when it came out and now it's dead. People don't know what they want anymore.
https://x.com/zpopoff_/status/1984275835046793501How could anyone not like a game where this shit can happen?
>>724871328https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/news/00_3795674.html
>>724873382By being faggots
>>724872420Probably yoshi valley
I miss isabelle
>>724872282Such a hard choice
>>724873382i love the crash physics still giving you momentumi've won races where i flip and tumble across the finish line
>>724870884Kek
>>724873335It has a thread up right now
>>724873174What the fuck did they do to her?
>>724874131Made her more like peach, I remember they also made her hair way less pale like peach’s in the jamboree switch 2 expansion
>>724870756Sad that it flopped
What’s your favorite character/vehicle combo?
>>724873391Oh, cool
>>724871201dat tummy
>>724868682I’ve never even seen footage of that game
>>724874572My favorite is Para Biddybud in the Baby Blooper and it makes me sad that it's the ultimate metafag setup because I just think he looks cute in that little car.
>>724874801He is pretty cute
>>724864204Not sure if I agree but the soundtrack is pretty damn inpressive
>Game is so dogshit that only the thing to talk about it is daisy's ass
>>724875069Keep coping
>>724872282My dick in between their cheeks>>724873843Threesome
>>724874131She embraced her role as blue peach
In retrospect, I’m surprised it took them this long to add in actual jumping to mario kart
>>724874572Sightseeing peach with the plush buggy for max 1960s energy.
>>724875342Sounds comfy
>>724875069Daisy hard carries the game with her costumes, it’s crazy how Nintendo never let her be in Luigi’s Mansion as a sort of companion
>>724874572I rotate through a ton, but I like boy scout Jr on the Big Horn. Jr looks so much better than ever before in this game
>>724875136Watch her do the same thing in the Galaxy movie, all that Girlboss shit but in Space.
>>724875535I didn't hate the mario movie.Mario saved the day.
>>724875535And then peach gets in a rivalry with her, only for them to become lesbians for each other
>>724872110Don't think so, would love to get another multiplayer from the New lineup
Does mario bros circuit remind anyone else of radiator springs?
>>724875452I hope she gets in the next luigi’s mansion
>>724864109Not really
>>724873843I really like the knee straps here
>>724875745Yeah
>>724874572Daisy and the dolphin dasher
>>724864063it's the only one though
>>724870450Feels like it’s not enough
>>724873871Same, it’s really weird but fun
>>724875838i hope she's a temporary ghost that helps luigi
>>724870106As a truck you can ram into people and it’s really funny
>>724865443Not yet
>>724876624Like spirit tracks?
>>724876480?
>>724865443Is it that much better, or are people just mindless sheep that will flock to whatever they hear is the “meta”?
>>724876669True
>>724876782Seems extremely good to me
Anyone got any webms?
>>724876859What makes it so good? High acceleration and speed?
>>724875452Did this artist finally stop overusing watermarks?
>>724876972I think this helps explain it https://www.youtube.com/shorts/vYnTrrOwBpk
>>724877137Good to know, thanks anon!
I think there should be a 100 player balloon battle mode
>>724876714yes, but it fits more in a luigi's mansion game
>>724876364Daisy fucks dolphins
>>724877269You’re welcome
>>724877342That’s true
>>724875007I really like this track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oU9G1xxSQg
>>724864063le intermission track has arrived
>>724869892It really was a weird choice for an item when they have the wonder flower and it just cucks kamek out of being playable
>>724877616le faggot has arrived
Do you think they’re deliberately holding back some characters for dlc?
>>724877935Probably, Diddy’s been dlc in both tour and 8 deluxe
>>724877587it's baffling that there's no music player system in the game when bananza and kirby air riders can do itCOME ON KART TEAM!
>>724878137It does seem easy to add
>>724877587https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69B7etGYwDs
>>724867104Will the feather ever appear in any thing besides mario kart from now on?
>>724878374i can see the feather appear in a mario wonder sequel
I'm finally consistent with the bowsers castle shortcut Time to learn the whistle stop summit short cut
>>724878497They should call it super mario wonderworld
>>724878515Good job, anon
>>724864063What are the other racing games of 2025? There's literally nothing. Dead fucking genre.
>>724867372So you don't like the fact that you can't always completely break the track?Either way there litteraly loads of insane feather cuts.https://youtu.be/bpB54G2cylg?si=-AnJIpkH5ZzDjvoe
>>724878639Anon…
>>724864063Sonic CrossWorlds mogs it.
>>724878708Crossworlds is shovelware.
>>724878737>>724878742Fight
>>724878742There’s also Kirby air riders and the karters 2
>>724874572Luigi/Pipe Frame
>>724878832Based classic combo
>>724875452Maybe if Mario doesn't return in a future Luigi's Mansion.
>>724864063Easily
>>724878923Why if mario doesn’t show up?
>>724878818>four party games is the entire racing game catalog for the yearfucking GRIM
>>724878548now that you mention it, i think that's what they might do. or atleast a "WonderLand" first
>>724864063Why were there so many high profile kart racers released this year?
>>724879035There aren’t usually that many, anon. If you want more and are willing to scrape the bottom of the barrel, I believe paw patrol, Garfield, and garten of banban are also getting their own kart racers this year
>>724878993Mainly just to expand Luigi's Mansion into something that isn't "Mario needs to be rescued from King Boo" for a fourth time.
>>724879194True
>>724879163I have no idea but I’m not complaining
>>724878515Post some webms! I want to see people doing cool shortcuts!
Which one?
>>724879387Mario, no, don’t drink
>>724864063it wont even be top 3 after November 20th
>>724879639>crossworlds wont even be top 3 after November 20thFTFY
I want him back.
>>724867562Are there any kart racers that already do this, it seems like a no brainer
>>724879480Daisy > Rosalina > Peach > PaulineKid Pauline mogs them all though
>>724879387I don't know how to make webms.
>>724879705The only clone I like
>>724879691really what 3 kart racers are coming out that are going to be better in the next 17 days?
>>724879942That’s the funny thing, two of them are already out
>>724879804but what if.... kid daisy
>>724878737Crossworlds seems like good fun, but it is very amusing to me that after all the shitposting and hype around the fact that "it's gonna wipe the floor with World", it ended up having a lot of the same problems that also plagued World.
>>724879705What if he comes back but as the wonder effect variant
>>724880091I know right, track design feels pretty barebones, especially the dlc tracks which are supposed to be the tracks to make the amount of tracks match world’s, unlocking stuff is a chore, and the festivals ruin online for half of the week
>>724880017I googled racing games 2025 and didnt get any results are there some obscure indie racers I dont know about or a rerelease like hoverrace?
>>724880021Ew
>>724880317Man, you must be from an alternate dimension where only sonic racing crossworlds came out this year, I’d hate to live there
>>724880317Garfield kart 2
>>724879480For me it’s >Pauline>Daisy=Peach>Rosalina
>>724878665These are all so cool, I love this game man
>>724870280>GX>not F-Zero X
>>724870280Is it really stealing when it’s from the same company
>>724880272sonic has 37 while mario has 32
Air riders main appeal is not racing.It's a kart brawler.
It's good but underutilizes its own open world>no marathon>no custom track creator (literally just let us drop checkpoints)>no "reach a random point in the map with any means possible"I would also like more customization.
>>724879226Also; I think that if you have Mario appear then Peach would be logical second addition when it comes to characters from the usual Mario series cast and adding Daisy to that could make the cast a bit too overcrowded with Mario-focused characters compared to Luigi-focused ones since Daisy, despite being associated with Luigi as his love interest, originates from and makes all of her appearances in Mario-focused games and her appearances there also knits her directly with Peach as a foil; so I'd exclude Mario so he we won't have to explain why Peach isn't tagging along and by Peach's omission we'd also be able to give Luigi and Daisy the possibility to interact more with each other to maximum effect.
>>724880679That’s a lie
>>724880704I get the feeling they made add some of that stuff after air riders comes out
>>724880272Bagging seems even worse too. I never even liked the concept of the gadget system, but it allowing 3 item slots and swapping item order makes it a fucking blight upon the genre
>>724879191>the entire genre of racing is represented by kart "racers"Now I know what RTSfags feel when they look at DotA and LoL.
>>724880716I didnt count sonics dlc to be fair
>>724880704I still think that more unlocks should have been tied to the open world. There should have been extra karts and characters that you could only get via missions around the world.
>>724880814If you count crossworlds, you may as well count intermissions
>>724880587i haven't played X, is there the same type of anti grav tech?
>>724880841Sure, but only if they had cool shit like bosses or themed race challenges. I like the missions a good bit, but significant unlocks being tied to them as they are would be lame
>>724880903Yes
>>724880962I wish there were bosses, the robo dk seems like it would be a good one
>>724880962>but only if they had cool shit like bosses or themed race challenges.Yeah those are the kind of missions I mean. I'd love a bit more variety beyond the standard p-switch missions that litter the map.
>>724880841There better be a mission tracker then
>>724880704Again, not to beat my own drum, but the hard part was coming up with the world, which looks amazing. Why not use it more???
>>724881132Pretty sure they added that in an update
I wonder why they got rid of anti gravity
>>724881210No the added a tracker for how much missions you completed.Not an actual tracker to help you find them
>>724881473Ah, damn
>>724872576Such a kino course
>>724881469in favor of wall riding
>>724880883intermissions are significantly worse and crossworlds you can actually time trial
>>724882013I guess that’s a fair sacrifice
>>724882082Not really, crossworlds are just as bad if not worse since they force long stretches of straight road onto the normal tracks
>>724882082The competitive community that plays 24 players actually uses intermissions and practices shortcuts on them.
>>724878137They want you to install the nintendo music app and buy the ost.
>>724882175They’re also often predominantly the shitty flying or boat
>>724882251It’s not even on the nintendo music app yet
>>724882251Now that they’re releasing vinyls, I would absolutely buy one for World
>>724882414Same here
>>724880704I'm shocked there's not a basic-ass battle royale mode, with 24 players across the map that slowly shrinks down to a single course
>>724882475Man, that’d be kino for balloon battle, but I’d make the player count even higher
>>724882175implying they dont do that in mkw but 5 times worse since intermissions are significantly longer.
>>724882561They don’t, if you do a tradional 3 laps, there’s no awkward section in between of nothing
>>724882414I did this calculation a while back, based on the duration of the OST, putting the entire thing on Vinyl would require approximately 15 records.
>>724882723Woah
>>724882175They mostly all have a few turns that require some thought. The straight line maps that people use for bait images tend to have obstacles, so you will still be engaging with the track. It is pretty clear that more thought went into there design, which makes sense when there are much fewer courses. There is a good reason that Mario Kart and other games have not had over 200 courses before now.
>>724882825I’ve seen both, anon, quit lying to yourself
Sonic won.
>>724881469it's weird that they kept some aspect of itif you jump and hit an object, it gives you a boost like when you're anti gravity and hit another player
>>724882825Most people shitposting the mkw intermissions never acknowledged theres obstacles in them either.What's your point?
>>724883112At failing
>>724864063what's the competition? F1 25?
>>724883116That’s cool, I never knew that
>>724882825>They mostly all have a few turns that require some thought. The straight line maps that people use for bait images tend to have obstacles, so you will still be engaging with the track.So basically the intermission tracks in World.
Why does Mario have fetish porn its not that different from sonic porn now that I think about it
>>724883116Bump bouncing is so fun, ads so much to shortcuts
>>724883269Anon, you’re on the internet, everything has fetish porn
>>724883209Wasn’t that a movie
What retards fail to realize is that despite being straight lines both in Crossworlds and MKW,in Crossworlds intermissions are actual intermissions. You get one lap of a straight line and you're back to the regular race track you started on.I have no idea why nintendo didn't do it like that but i'd choose Crossworlds way of doing it over MKW's any time.
>>724883272such a pain in the ass if you don't intentionally do it, and fly off the map
>>724883434That still sounds bad
>>724883434>Only 2 laps on the same course and a random bit of fluff in between. Maybe they should've just done 3 laps instead.
>>724880692Still hope the racing is fun
>>724883105I also play and enjoy both games. You aren't important enough that I would play something I don't enjoy just for some argument we will both forget tomorrow. Again, you are comparing 37 courses to 30 plus 200 courses. It is just common sense that the 200 are not going to have a lot of thought put into them compared to the main 30.>>724883136The obstacles in the intermissions are largely trivial. There is nothing there that makes it feel like your ability to drive well matters or makes the course memorable. Stuff like traffic doesn't even cause you to slow down unless you hit a bus that is big enough to physically block your path.>>724883249My main thought for intermissions is if I should even bother drifting or just hug the turn as close as possible. There is nothing comparable to the standard MKW tracks in the intermissions unless there is some rare course I may be missing.
What’s the best track in the game
>>724883452As opposed to if it didn't bounce you and you hit a pope and fell? Just don’t hit a pole
>>724883434Mkw as some pretty good intermissions.Crossworld has noned8dv2
>>724883846I think you’re just biased because everything you say about the intermissions applies to the crossworlds as well
>>724883846Car collision litterally has the same impact as getting it by a red shell.Aka. It rapes your momentum.
>>724883932Blady bitch benchod captcha
>>724883846>There is nothing comparable to the standard MKW tracks in the intermissions unless there is some rare course I may be missingif you can’t even recall shit like the daisy palace path through shy guy bazaar, you don’t know enough to be discussing this
Anyone doing lobbies?
>>724864807Is this the lewdest swimsuit daisy could be put in?
>>724879815Do you know how to make mp4s?
>>724883953It doesn't even make sense to be biases since that would also mean I would have a bias both for and against Mario since I like the regular tracks.>>724884031I've run into cares on purpose without losing any ground except for the small amount of time it takes my hitbox to slide around the car. It plays a hit animation, but your speed stays the same.>>724884129That is a bit of a special case since it is a rare time where they used the area around the track instead of the actual course for the ending if you are talking about what I think you are talking about. I wouldn't have even considered that an intermission. I've collected all of the ? panels, so I have enough experience to know that the areas directly around the courses are very well designed and they don't make use of it nearly enough.
>>724883848I’d say acorn heights
>>724884605Maybe play with people actually worth a damn and not cpus and see how ramming into a car holds up.
>>724884734That was online with people who are better than me. Regardless, it doesn't even matter. It's not like the cpus would know to slow down and then speed back up with the exact timing to make it look like I didn't lose speed.
Posting more daisy
>>724879163Poor kitty
>>724884605You’re tossing around numbers of worthwhile “tracks” and including crossworlds but excluding the daisy palace edgecase. That’s stupid anon
>>724868143I think so
>>724884891
>>724884891>Massive fat tits>Giant ghetto bootyI prefer a more petite Daisy.
>>724885254Fair enough
>>724884864Post a webm of you not losing litterally any speed from a car hit.It litterally is coded the same way red shells are on direct contact.
>>724883848wario stadium OR Great ? Block Ruins
Is there a way to make a track like waluigi pinball work into the open world?
>>724883932the bad intermissions are extremely bad though. honestly if they just didnt do the open world shit mkw would be playable. maybe not better than sonic still but tweek some mechanics and maybe have a juke box option then it will be good, but mkw as it is now can't reasonably be fixed and I'd rather they just make a new game than add more to it.keep grinding and wall riding but forget about the openworld experiment
>>724885442Fuck off, sonicshill
>>724879076I was mainly making a joke about balan wonderwold
>>724883848Acorn Heights, Dry Bones Burnout, and Whistlestop Summit stand out to me among the new ones. I really like Faraway Oasis too, but that may just be preference
>>724883848right now wario stadium, but if I got good than whistle top seems like it would be fun. honestly you can tell if a level is bad or not by seeing if the time trial is heavy weight or lightweight.
>>724885640I like faraway oasis too, though I’m also curious as to what made recent dk and mario games obsessed with africa, especially african elephants
>>724885442Eveeymonth high level players are learning new tech on different intermissions.I like discovery. You aren't needed
>>724885594isn't it balan wonderland?
>>724885784Based
>>724885784they're content creators who are forced to play a shit game and are just trying to get what they can from it.
>>724885660Pianta is a heavy weight and holds the record on salty salty speedway and that track is kino.
>>724885854Nope
>>724885905water tracks suck but it is cool that pianta gets a buff on them
>>724885905You know, it’s odd how there are more sunshine characters in this game than odyssey characters
>>724885097I'm satisfied with 30 or so worthwhile tracks in both games. I'd say MKW is a complete game worth playing even if you were to cut the open world without bothering to replace it with anything and it doesn't need the intermissions to be good or to compete with Sonic. Its fine with me to throw in a few extras for the one you mentioned, crown city, and even the backwards courses since they feel different to play as good courses. My only issue is that the drive to those courses is not fun and hurts and otherwise good game. In contrast, the Sonic cross worlds just feel like regular courses that don't hurt my enjoyment of the game with a few exceptions like the tunnel in White Cave where the fastest line is literally to just drive straight even if it is followed up by a somewhat tricky turn.>>724885384I won't be able to figuring out how to record and get a video from my switch before this thread dies. It would be easier for you to try it yourself next time you are playing.
>>724885873>forced.They can just play 12 player competitive and do only tracks they aren't forced to do shit.Jp gullivere and TDW do that.Meanwhile players like scar play 24 players competitive that allows intermissions.
>>724886009I wish they wouldn’t hide stats like that, though
>>724885854i think everyone keeps thinking its wonderland since it sounds way better than wonderworldjust another part of the games stupid design choices
>>724883932>Tendie bot broke
>>724886009Salty salty speedway is litterally a top 5 track.
>>724886148I think wonderworld sounds cooler as a word than wonderland but I am more ingrained to think of wonderland first
>>724886228Based
What costumes are you usually using?
>>724886096I don't need to try anything.I have 400 hours in online racing.
>>724867683Kart racing will never be popular in pc.
>>724886643I find myself using peaches touring costume the most.She pulls it off so well.
>>724868071I want that
>>724864063Mogged by crossworlds
>>724886795She really does
Hidden stats are mkw only true massive fault.If your favourite character is say rosalina.Not only is she a heavyweight which is not great for her already. She also have water speed and that applies to the least amount of tracks and intermissions in the game.Meanwhile characters like peach and daisy have a superior weight class and they get road speed bonus. Which is the best for tracks. And about 40% of intermissions
>>724886850You wish
>>724887048Really hope they change them not to be hidden in an update, I wonder if they’re part of why custom wheels and gliders are gone
>>724886678That is also fine. There are no stakes in this argument. I only have 150 or so hours, but I was at least curious to verify for myself after I heard someone else on /v/ make that claim.
>>724887048It's more extreme in karts than for characters too. It's fucked that the visible speed of Stellar Sled seems high, then you realize it's actually slower on the most common track type while being fastest on the rarest.
>>724864175Hopefully they patch it out of MKW because frankly it's just asinine.
>>724887184I'd rather they get rid of them entirely.There's no good reason to have some characters just be arbitrarily worse because of the terrain of the track
>>724887412Actual worst take in the thread
>>724887412>cool idea that looks cool when you do it>slower than just driving straightthat section near the end of dk spaceway set up for wall riding is just completely pointless
>>724887412Looks like Someone can't do the bowsers castle and whistle stop shortcuts
>>724887564I don't even think that's true anymore considering the current record there
>>724885873As opposed to all the content creators that ragebait, which are totally genuine lol>>724886009Nah, Salty and Shipyard are both great. I really like Cheep Cheep Falls too, but it is a bloodbath>>724886096That’s all well and good, but lumping crossworlds into the main track count is stupid no matter how you slice it, since you won’t be getting them by themselves in the online, which is where all the bitching comes from. Instead of being real and just counting the actual tracks, you have people splitting hairs like this
Surprised this thread is so close to 500
>>724864063>StillUntil the 20th.
>>724886643Burger toad. He looks cute in the frog car. Makes him look like he does deliveries for a 50s diner
>>724887832Makes me wish there was a crazy taxi mode for this game
>>724864063I haven't had this much fun with a mario kart game since 64. I also like the intermission courses more than the actual courses except for Crown City, Dry Bones Burnout, and Dandelion Depths.
>>724886643I like Toadette's conductor uniform.
>>724887564Even in scenarios where it is a little slower, it can elevate you from the fray, which is nice
>>724887723>lumping crossworlds into the main track count is stupid no matter how you slice it,I don't think I could disagree with that. It seems like it would be obvious to be able to start and end with the crossworld since you can do it in time trial and they even have unique 3rd lap music, but I guess that would mess up gimmick. Maybe I jumped into this argument at a bad time without enough context, but I only have issue with comparing them to intermissions.
>>724870218>wonder is worse than new soupUIs New Soup U better than Wii/DS? Because I think Wonder is at least better than both of those. Although, to be honest, I have never rated 2D Mario that highly in terms of platformers. DK has all of Nintendo's best 2D platformers.
>>724887048Is there a calculator online for this shit to know when you're picking somethings that's just actual garbage and nerfing yourself out of a racei don't care about the top meta but I do care if something is absolutely abysmal(I ask because I love using Rosalina)
>>724887734Sometimes a little bait is all you need to get some good discussions going.
>>724888332Based
>>724864063It got BTFO by Sonic and Sonic is going to get BTFO by Kirby.
>>724888318Not a calculator but there is a Stat sheet for every character and kart
>>724887785I’m really excited for Kirby, but I don’t think it will be better than Mario Kart World for the actual racing. With all the new movement systems, World has more intention and skill expression than ever. Air Ride is inherently an arcadey spectacle mode. Grind rails in it are essentially scripted sequences

>>724889110Better than this game.
>>724888259I think the new series damaged 2d mario’s reputation
I fucking hate the lightning
>>724886678It turns out the Switch 2 actually makes recording videos really easy, so here is your example. You can see that the only slowdown when hitting the car is the time it takes to slip around it. I don't need to accelerate back up to speed like if I had been hit by a shell. I apologize for the terrible video encoding, but you can see well enough to know what is going on.
>>724889589Who even orignally thought of that as an item for mario kart?
>>724889110Eggman won.
>>724889640He has twenty gay fox sons
>>724889704His life is so much fun
>>724887970What’s your favorite intermission?
>>724889592Why would you do one where you drive into a boost pad right after the momentum of your forward tumble wears off?
>>724889960To undercut you
>>724889524It definitely did. The series is an interesting case of being generally well put together, but being entirely uninspired in terms of both aesthetics and design to the point that it doesn't really matter how well put together they otherwise are.
>>724888517God I hope so.
>>724890140 call me a cynic but I think the same thing is happening with zelda right now

>>724890020Nta that’s been talking to about this, just had to chime in because it’s so blatantly transparent. Really dumb
>>724889960It was the first car and everyone was still in a pack as a point of reference. Anyone who has played the game knows you will still slowdown before speeding back up even if you get hit by a shell on a boost pad.

>>724890929Rosalina’s the futa, not daisy
>>724890480Fair. Not that guy, so I forgot “shell hit” was the line he had drawn
They should add in poppy kong
>>724890532That one is pretty cool
>>724889287
>>724886768Why?
>>724890480You litterally are slowing down though.
>>724891562Shhhhh
>>724890979>the tan athletic tomboy isnt the futa>the lazy floating space mommy is thonah
>>724890241I half-agree. The open world design of TotK was incredibly lazy ("Hey, what if we reused the map from BotW with all these new mechanics it wasn't designed around accommodating?"), but I can tell they at least wanted to do something cool with Wonder Hand and so on. It just didn't come together in a way that justified all that time and effort.
>>724891735You literally just explained why rosalina’s the futa
>>724891394I like that you have to race across the entire wall
>>724891562Then why am I keeping up with the people around me with out having to accelerate again?
>>724891762It’s also just how botw has homogenized the zelda brand in a similar manner to how nsmb homogenized the mario brand, also just like how so many games tried to do the whole 2d retro throwback after nsmb, even some of the nintendo’s other series, so many games are trying to copy what botw with its open endedness
>>724866417>Is Mario Kart DS generally considered the peak of the series?If you're a snoy, maybe.
>>724892039Why a snoy?
>>724865732That’d kind of be a throwback to mario kart live home circuit when you think about it
>>724891971>It’s also just how botw has homogenized the zelda brand in a similar manner to how nsmb homogenized the mario brandI'm coping that the next Zelda won't be made from the exact same mould as BotW/TotK. Not that it'll be a huge departure, but that it'll at least have some major gimmick to set it apart a la WW's Great Sea. Although EoW's design does make me worry that you're right.
>>724892293I hope so too

It isn't good to jump in and argue in bad faith. I know that other anon I was talking to simply forgot what it was like to hit a car after 400 hours of experience and made an honest mistake.

>>724892761all of the dash food look tasty except for the ice cream with the wedge of cheese
>>724893315Can protect you, can punish people sriving in the middle of the track, offers risk/reward for big coins. The coin block is the real problem child. Hate getting that thing other than in the first 20 seconds
>>724893579I swear all of the new items feel lackluster compared to previous additions
>>724893192I may have exaggerated. But at my level of play I'd lose many spots from a fuck up like that.
>>724893521TotK's past story would've been a much better experience if they didn't insist on it being told non-linearly for no goddamn reason.

>>724893634I like the hammers
>>724893916Weren’t those from tour
>>724893692True.Getting hit with demon king ganon Dorfman or Sonias death as your first memory is really shit.
>>724893668Just who are you playing where a kart's length of distance from sliding around the car before the last lap would actually matter? Why do people complain about bagging if the room for error is so low?
>>724894165I play 24 player discord comp.Quite a few intermission tracks as stuff gets discovered become runners.Bagging is still strong through out the game though.
i like watching l1ams streams about this game, but whenever i play in the weekend threads i like to just grief as much as possible like driving backwards in mega
>>724894398Fair enough. My group would just murder me with items or slipstream if I'm lucky to make the car hit seem trivial if we were packed that tight all the time. I would still have to see it to believe it that hitting a car would have enough downstream effects to change the outcome of a race compared to everything else that happens.
