    Finally, someone who knows how to win without throwing shells everywhere.

  3. Well, better get Sonic Racing: Crossworlds then. At least that game have Hatsune Miku and Steve.

    I only bought Mario Kart World for the Penguin 🐧 I’m not even a fan of Mario 😂

    Mario Kart World is a tremendous let down, speaking as a longtime fan.

    The Grand Prix mode is fucked, you can’t even play a traditional 3-lap race without lucking into one online, and 90% of your time is spent driving between tracks on barren straight highways.

    Knockout Tour is pure item overload and battle royale nonsense, dials the worst parts of Mario Kart up to 11 (and there are only like 7 iterations/routes of it so it gets repetitive fast).

    The open world is a joke for what was meant to be the USP, no ingame way to track the thousands of collectibles; not that they do anything other than provide you with cosmetic stickers nobody gives a shit about anyway. It’s crying out for some sort of structured campaign or mission mode, a la Diddy Kong Racing.

    The roster is laughable, more than 50% generic mooks, and you have to unlock those with Kamek RNG anyway. Why can’t we make use of some of the characters we actually have in the Marioverse? Diddy? E. Gadd? The Koopalings? Petey Piranha? Anyone but a fucking cow or a Stingby.

    The new movement tech is irrelevant because it’s faster to just drive on the course normally. Also woe betide you if you attempt it in single player because the AI is adaptive and brutally punishes all play above a grandma level with insane rubberbanding and shell spam.

    Not at all worth $80, and I am glad I mooched off a friend’s copy to try it. MK8 Deluxe remains the definitive outing for the series, and anyone who claims World is the best one is kidding themselves (or is high on recency bias/the honeymoon period).

    I’ll be 100% honest from the second Ive booted the game I have not played any other character but the Cow.

    That little animation she does when she jumps and she’s just like 🐄 gives me so much serotonin you have no idea.

    Imagine playing as a cow and then eating a burger…

    Lol I love Mario kart world but for real unless y’all get it with the bundle so it comes out to 50$, just wait for a holiday discount, or to see if the game support is worth the 80 in the longer run.

    It’s very fun and probably my favorite Mario kart but the open world is filled with a whole lot of nothing, the challenges are janky and a bit frustrating at times when the kart doesn’t quite move as it should, then the grand prix and knockout tour can be a bit of a drag because of how chaotic and unfair it is. If it wasn’t part of the bundle I don’t think I’d have dropped 80 on it.

    There’s been countless times now where I’ll be number one with decent lead then get hit with a red shell, then a lightning strike, then a delayed blue shell, then run over by a giant mushroom and by the time my guy gets back up, I’m already last place lol from #1 to #24 in the matter of seconds. It doesn’t matter how good you drive in this one, cause bs will just drag you all the way back.

    I’m honestly unreasonably happy they added the most random ass side characters instead of just pink peach gold peach silver peach pink silver peach gold baby peach

    S tier character roster 

    But now Cow needs to be a character in the next Smash Bros

    Games got a cow, but does it have pig physics?

  11. So that’s why Heavy Storm doesn’t have a cow on Master Duel 🤔…
