yeah, the fatal flaw (among many other flaws) is it's primarily 1 player nature
All the sprite-based Mario Karts suck and are gay. Hell, most of the Mario Karts are iterative experiences. Why the hell would you play something like Mario Kart 64 over 8?
>>713319381 (OP)the games looks and sounds great
the tracks are great, rating your performance adds a challenge on paper
however, the gameplay is ass, and the way the game rates your performance is even worse
it could've been one of the best, yet they dropped the ball horribly
>>713319532>Why the hell would you play something like Mario Kart 64 over 8not falling for this ragebait
>>713319381 (OP)It's the most skill based one
>>713319532>Why the hell would you play something like Mario Kart 64 over 8?I prefer 64's simplicity over 8's long ass tracks where there's a bunch of visual vomit going on constantly.
>>713322302>even Super Circuit can tell Yoshi players are fags and gives them no rating pointsFunniest shit I've ever seen.
>>713324050You're supposed to bump other karts. You make them lose coins and coins make you go faster.
>>713319381 (OP)always did. the only people who ever defended were zoomers who only had this to play and this was their first Mario kart game lmao
>>713324473You literally lose skill points every time you bump into someone. The scoring system of this game is horseshit. You lose points for using specific fucking items even though it's the game that decides what you get. You get penalized for picking Yoshi. You also lose points if you ever hit a wall, use the brakes, let go of accelerate and drive off road. It's like an actual fucking driving test.
Mario Kart DS was the first game in the series where handling actually felt good.
>>713319381 (OP)it doesn't have that much replay value imo but it's a decent continuation from the SMK gameplay. I still prefer SMK but I don't really see what's wrong with it unless the requirement for the title screen change
>>713326606Double dash is the game. I did play and liked Super Mario Kart and 64 but nowadays I don't have much fun when I do. But I can always go back to Double Dash onwards and the games are still fun (Wii kinda sucks though).
>>713319381 (OP)For some reason I remember actually trying to learn the shortcuts on some courses for time trials in this. Mostly the cloud course and Ribbon Road. I don't think it was fun.
>>713319381 (OP)Super Mario Kart with Mario Kart 64 sprites.
>>71331953264 would actually be good at like 60-120 fps. The 30 fps is kind of rough, but 64 feels very fast and responsive. All the Mario Karts after feel very slow in comparison
>>713327079What the fuck happened with Wii? Nobody (including myself) looks back that game fondly, is just a mishmash of missed opportunities and abuse of gimmicks.
Umm actually its kino sovl peak
>>713327079>>713327357Revisiting it, I like Wii, but the main problem is the fucking blue shells. Jesus christ that game spams them like no other game in the series and I don't understand why. That was my biggest gripe replaying it, stop fucking blue shelling me.
>>71332725964 has a "flaw" and is the handling, the newer games made far more responsive and fluid the driving, 64 is too stiff.
64 with a handling like DD could be Kamige, this is one of those cases where the age of a game really shows, great game but aged like milk
This game Mogged the fuck out of mario kart on GBA like CTR did on the Gen5
>>713319435Incidentally, the opposite of that is every Mario Kart game's fatal flaw for every post-Wii entry
I wish I liked Super and Advance. I can appreciate Advance being better in practically every way than Super, but a super-charged Super is still Super.
But I really can't get over just how good and memorable 64's levels are on average, including the battle stages. Double Dash has really fun cooperative multiplayer unlike any other game. 8 Deluxe with DLC is a monster, 64 has a bunch of cool little gimmick things more memorable than the game itself (make your own emblem, DS download play without cartridges, missions, first online DS game, blow into your mic to blow up balloons, R.O.B., etc.)
>>713319381 (OP)For me, it was the Super Circuit fast food toy
>>713325970>You get penalized for picking Yoshi.lol?
seems random, is yoshi the best character?
>>713329047https://www.mariowiki.com/Mario_Kart:_Super_Circuit#Ranking
the game has a bunch of statistics it ranks you upon in grand prix, one of those including the character you selected
if you play as yoshi you earn 0 points from that statistic. he's the only character that has this for whatever reason
>>713327357>Nobody (including myself) looks back that game fondly,??? It still has an active online community. I fucking love MK Wii, the tracks are fucking evil and the shortcuts are insane.
>>713319381 (OP)Yes it does.
Unquestionably the worst Mario Kart ever.
>>713329160I beat this game as yoshi without knowing any of this. Skill issue
>>713329271it's still better than SMK, on an objective level. You simply must accept that.
>>713329307Wait no, I remember now. I actually smashed my GBA because this game pissed me off so much... kek
>>713329392At least SMK has sharp graphics so you can tell what is going on.
>>713329307>>713329395actually sorry I was misremembering, I remember getting sexually aroused by yoshi in it as a child and inserting the cartridge into my rectum in order to please myself the way my uncle taught me, that's how I messed up my game.
>>713329497you gets point for getting shocked actually
>>713329459The environments are much more clear in sc though
>>713329546On that tiny screen with bright, low contrast colors and no back light?
I find it hard to believe.
>>713329535yeah I realised I misread after I posted
>Each time the player uses Triple Red Shells decreases SkillPoints by 5.
>Each time the player uses Lightning decreases SkillPoints by 5.
>Each time the player uses a Star decreases SkillPoints by 30.
are you just supposed to fucking not do anything and let the cpu cheat the entire time?
>>713329664Then you are a more fortunate man than I.
I haven't tried it on that one so I can't really comment.
>>713329738well, they are called skillpoints and not luckpoints
>>713329767they should be called luck points because it's LUCK based if roll the items or not
>>713329736>>713329535Ok but what do you use skill points and the star rating for?
>has all the SNES tracks + 20 original tracks
It's based
>>713329834You get this night time title screen if you triple star every cup
this game doesn't actaully emulate correctly
>>713327434I thought Wii was just less considerate that the item density would be insane from simply having four more racists present.
>>713319381 (OP)Actually, it's the best one because it's the one I grew up with and got for christmas as a kid.
>>713330385damn, never got this as a kid. Maybe I will try now.
>>713319381 (OP)Super circuit is so kino they brought it's courses back fuck you zoomer
>>713319381 (OP)why zoomies get so filtered by this and SMK??
>>713319381 (OP)At least it has one of, if not THE best Bowser's Castle theme.
