DS was the best Mario Kart and I'm tired of pretending that 8 comes anywhere close to it.

*Double Dash.
No
DD is fucking overrated shit.
*Super Circuit
The only thing that makes double dash somewhat interesting is the 2 character gimmick which ultimately doesnt really change anything, hell the bikes in mkwii were a bigger gamechanger than having to characters on a kart.
DS was the first game in the series that included Retro tracks which gives you 16 more tracks to race on. It had mission mode with some very cool boss fights. It also was the first Mariokart with online. And you had an emblem creator that would get put on the karts and was also visible online.
>extra items and varied weight classes
>doesnt add anything
you can just tell when somebody who missed out is seething to make it seem like he didnt miss out
The extra items have also made their way into future mariokarts except the chain chomp which sucked ass. Oh wait I forgot those extremely memorable different weight classes that have little to no impact on the racing. Shit I agree with you DD is the best mariokart behind mkds, mkwii and mk8
is chain chomp not just an early version of bullet bill
I'm sorry he forgot to mention that the physics felt like you were drunk driving at all times but here you go I guess.
um AKSHUALLY super circuit was the first with retro tracks
>DS was the first game in the series that included Retro tracks which gives you 16 more tracks to race on.
That was Super Circuit, which let you unlock every track from SMK. DS was just the first in the series where they were able to pull from more than one game.
Kill all Gamecube kiddies.
Why did you pretend in the first place? Have you no strength of character?
I always wonder this as well, it’s like these guys have to follow a template in order to express an opinion.
DS is up there, probably my number 2 Mario Kart, but Double Dash is better.
Wii had the best tracks
Is there some kind of online for it, like there is with mario kart wii?
There used to be
>snakes to number 1 spot
snaking is cheating
Tell me something I don't know, anon. It's fun to do, though
MK8 is very dull to me. It should at least have some sort of career mode to make it interesting.
Mario Kart 8 tracks feel too samey, too many try to use zero g or flight gimmicks just for the sake of using the gimmicks
>too many try to use zero g or flight gimmicks just for the sake of using the gimmicks
And to think the new DLC finally calmed the fuck down besides major gliding places like Rock Rock Mountain, except the majority of them look like shit due to the polygon mapping being lifted from a mobile game.
I still prefer most of them over most of the original 48 courses from a gameplay perspective, but fucking christ the paw curls yet another finger.
OP is right for once
everything was downhill afterward
As someone who grew up with DS, 8DX is the best Mario Kart by a long shot now. It did take a while but it's impossible to deny the value 96 tracks has. That doesn't mean DS is any less good though, DS will always be a game that I cherish more than anything.
I haven't played a mario kart since DS, it was very very good. You could share locally with someone who didnt own the game couldnt you?
Yeah, people using download play would be shyguys
Cute, I wish I could be a shyguy...
I wish I could be a shygirl
ywnbasg
MKDS is fun as FUCK and the local play function was goated.
MKWii has the BEST gameplay/competitive.
MK8 has a fuckload of tracks and looks pretty which is good. Great casual party game, too. Just a bit dull coming from older entries.
yeah that shi goated on god, i be snaking vs mfers on my bus to preschool no cap
7 was peak due to the amount of crazy shit you could do while flying + water and I'm mad that 8 toned it down to an extreme
What new combos are you running with the latest update, gents?
baby bowser
pipe frame
cyber slick
I call it the daily dose
The karts in DS always felt real nice to handle, I don't know if it's just my boomer reflexes catching up with me but the newer entries feel much looser handling-wise to me
Really? I feel that started with the DS. Played Double Dash the other day and felt snappier and better than any recent entry. Even Super Circuit has better controls than anything post DS
Probably the drifting that does that to you, I think.
DS made Balloon Battle points based so it's kinda shit
Wii
Funky can come back to the series but if it's this shitty voice actor again, I will flip out. Get this shit out of my Mario Kart game.
DS was the melee of mario kart
super mario 64 ds is cool too
>https://gbatemp.net/threads/circle-pad-patches-for-super-mario-64-ds-and-other-games-in-twilightmenu-with-twpatcher-and-rtcom.623267/
Yeah, because it's playable now
You can just use the touch screen and have 360 degree -or however close the game actually allows- movement anyway, right? Wouldn't this just be remapping that input to the circle pad? Also, the original was more than playable.
Double Dash was really fun however I feel like it was always the worst one to play because you would get bombarded by the most items ever but that's just a personal opinion.
DS was the best one by a long shot. Controlled great and people discovered the snaking technique to add more of a competitive nature to the game AND having decent early online play for it's time.
Also was so cool you could create an Icon to use for online.
Mission mode was the CLOSEST thing to ever having an Adventure mode like Diddy Kong Racing (Why the series has YET to do this is still beyond me)
Something that I found really cool but they never did it again was the fact that you are not really picking the character, you are picking the Kart. When you play enough to unlock the characters to be in any Kart, I always loved the heavier characters like Bowser but their stats were always ass, so it was awesome when I could pick anyone I wanted with the karts that only Toad or Mario could use at first.
And then with each additional game after DS, Nintendo took away lots of the features the DS game had like the Icon creation for online or the Mission mode.

Snaking was also fun and pretty easy to do. It wasn't autismal shit like F-Zero GX's snaking or wavedashing in melee.
