This is so much better than Mario Kart trash
>>12916414>best kart racing game ever made
At the time it came out CTR btfo of Mario Kart. Nowadays it's not really true anymore. It's still very good though
>>12916524it's still pretty true. The only thing any mk has as an advantage is more courses
>>12916524What is the best Mario Kart for singleplayer? I'm having a ton of fun going for 100% in Adventure. At first the drifting felt awkward, but now it's like between the drifting, racing line, item usage, shortcuts, hitting the time crates, airtime speed, etc, there's so many layers. You just really get focused and zoned in and it becomes second nature
>>12916414Agreed i thought this was not bad
>>12916414I just played both.
>>12916562I don't think any retro Mario Kart game has a comparable adventure-style mode that CTR has. CTR was more of a clone of DKR than it was a clone of Mario Kart, and the truth is CTR blows both the fuck out. The game has a really dedicated fan community and they're pumping out a lot of new custom tracks and custom adventure modes lately.
>>12916863CTR has an Adventure mode and it's really good, but it's not like it's the only kart racer that has it. Mario Kart doesn't have it, at least as far as 8, I don't know about World. But that's not enough to say CTR btfo out of Mario Kart or other modern kart racers. It was absolutely the case in the 2000s though. But we're in 2026
>>12917006You're posting on the retro games board. Do try to keep it on-topic.
>>12917006So what racers beat it now?
good game for time trialsmk64 has better multiplayer imo
>>12916562Not retro but DS has a mission mode I remember l enjoying.
>>12916521>best kart racing game ever madeI would even go so far as to say it's the best racing game in general It's just that good
>>12916414penta penguin, ripper roo and sewer levels are the best ones along cortex's castle.
>>12917284for me, it's cortex
>>12917518I can get down with any character but when I play with my buddy I go all tryhard and pick either Coco or Tiny.
>>12917587I tried to go tryhard playing Dingo and hated how shit he was at turning. Tiny's the same iirc. I'll never be a speedrunner or anything, so I'm fine playing a balanced character like Cortex.
