Don’t be fooled; what you’re currently looking at is is the absolute worst mario kart game in the entire series
It needs more characters like Geno, Cappy, E. Gadd, Wart, and Ashley.
so much bing bing wahoo happening no wonder mario kart sells double digit millions
Why are there no updates? MK8 had them nonstop
>>736856703I can't tell if he's good or just lucky that no one is attacking him
>>736856703Atleast it's better than Wii.But 8,7,DS,DD humilliate World.
>>736856703I certainly doesn't look like a kart racer anymore
>>736857060Ignoring the potential lightning that you can't really predict, there's barely anyone behind him at the start. Since he's at the back of the pack, the items they're getting are geared towards boosting your speed instead of just attacking other players, so it's unlikely anyone could hit him with a shell. Once he gets on the rail he's too high up to get hit with anything, lands for about a second before taking off into the air again. There's about half a second before he activates the mega mushroom when he lands for the third time, and once that's active he's invincible.There is a bit of luck but it's mainly skill to take that route.
>>736856703Not the worst but deffo undercooked and full of baffling choices and confused priorities.First off, while the open world concept was a novel idea they should have realized that in practice it offers nothing substantial to the experience and ultimately removed it, which would have freed up time to make more actual tracks, I believe they insisted on this pointless gimmick primarily due to feeling the need to have a gimmick to rival the antigravity mechanic from 8 and it was a mistake, instead they should have focused on either matching the track count of 8 Deluxe's initial release, or on introducing more franchises like how 8 Deluxe has F-Zero, Zelda, Splatoon and Animal Crossing, a large crossover event with Kirby, Metroid, Pokemon, Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade, Bayonetta and other Nintendo franchises would have made the project far more attractive than an empty open world peppered with small challenges.The second issue is the roster which is a colossal step down from Mario Kart 8, the removal of the koopalings, the characters from other franchises and other important mainstays in favor of a bunch of random npcs is baffling and the way the menu is structured wih the costumes being separate characters is so stupid and cumbersome to navigate.Finally, the game is visually inferior to base 8 Deluxe and in many ways looks more like the Booster Course Pass, again probably a result of the pointless open world, a majority of the new tracks trade originality off for a massive clutter of random objects, banners, balloons and shit, the flying and boat segments are far less visually stunning than the antigravity and underwater sections from 8, and there is an excessive amount of tracks that have an industrial look.All in all, the game could be salvaged with some tweaks and some much needed DLC, but I'm afraid it will always live in the shadow of 8.
lmao he hits that tree and just keeps going like nothing
>>736856703It's changed a bit through updates, but what's sad is that even now it's the best online focused kart racer
>>736858107because he tricks off of it, cutie
>>736859029Don't type like a sick faggot, tranny.
Haven't played a Mario Kart since 64. Are they fun in single player?
>>736859313lol
>>736859313Sounds like some needs a kissu
>>736856703I actually forgot that it exists. I haven't thought about it even once in months.
I understand what people meant when they said forced soul now
>>736856703I never thought MK could get worse with 7, but nintendyo find a way
>>736856703The road is so fucking wide
>>736856703I downloaded the Disney gacha racing game out of curiosity and it both looks better and plays better than Mario Kart.
How do you place Tour in relation?
>>736859601all I could think when he hit the giant shroom is that should just be how fucking big he normally isI get road trip was the core theme but making every track so huge and empty feeling was fucking retarded even before you consider the literal empty expanse that is the between tracks road sections
Did they ever unpatch the straight line courses in random course selection?
>>736859447I know japanese, and have lived there. You just type and act like a fag
>>736859602It's popular for a reason. I remember the sonic crossworld fags dismissing it only for their shitty game to die off fast.
>>736856703the last good time to play mario kart online was mk8 on the wii u if ur playing mk9 and doing all the gay tricks and shit ur a fucking homo lol just touch the ground fag what are you scared of? having fun? lmao
i dont share opinions with autists, and this is the first mario kart game that got me interested. the new mechanics are interesting and driving on highway is fun
>>736860998CrossWorlds still gets threads and recently they've said the game's life is healthy enough that they added the option to play world match races while festivals are going and the player count across all platforms based on those is still pretty good (around 72k and this isn't counting every platform)I tried Speedstorm when Rapunzel got into the game but gave up after I ended up spending 40 bucks to get her, I hate the free to play model
>>736856703It's remarkable how badly they manage to keep fucking up such a simple and elegant concept.
>>736857072I like wii...
>>736862141The only crossworld "discussion" comes from comic faggots trying to spread their shit everywhere. I tried playing recently and matchmaking took 3 minutes on average. Face it, it missed the mark the horrid meta and item spam don't help
>>736856703At least the Rocket Racing fans will have something to play after it gets shut down.
>>736862990>horrid metaIf you mean UC, they nerfed it. Dual Ring Engine is the new hotness>matchmaking tool 3 minutesI just played it yesterday and had a bunch of races
>>736856703as someone who doesn't play nintendo games I look at this and imagine sweaty tryhards will now pwn races and normalfags will be frustrated and left behind in the dust
>>736863428Somewhat but that's probably why they have the routes as well, to even the playing field a bit
>>736863646It doesnt matter once you get to the tracks and the sweats just trick all over the place, leaving everyone behind while being immune to most items. I like the idea of what they were going for, but most people dont wanna play the game like its parkour. They want to play mario kart.
>>736863428Knockout races level the playing field, as well as the items. I've enjoyed my time playing, and I'm playing exclusively as DK on a heavy vehicle.
