So I was playing Double Dash for the first time and
...
Nintendo actually expects me to play all 16 tracks back to back and in 3 different difficulties? You can't be serious.

All Cup Tour is one of the best things any Mario Kart has ever done.

I never got into this one, I basically skipped it. SMK is very good, very precise, to the point where competitions with it are really good. SMK64 is merely an okay game. Double Dash I rented once and just didn't click. Is it any good?

I know there's that massive overhaul fan mod that adds a lot of new tracks.

OP here
My first MK was 64. After that I played the Wii one and that's kind of it. Played a little of DS on a friend's DS, and DD at a party way after the GC's time, but with neither I had enough time to judge if they were good or not.
I'm not a fan of DD's controls, the karts feel too unruly to drive. And I must be doing something wrong because the drift and mini boosts are really off. And I know the different weights change how the karts work, ie heavier ones have better cornering etc.
A lot of tracks with moving traffic too. Each character having their own special items also introduces a meta faggotry that I do not enjoy. Yeah you can pick Yoshi and get an Egg that homes in 1 person, breaks and drops 3 items for anyone to grab. Or you can pick the Koopa Troopa and get 3 Green/Red shells, or Toad and get the Golden Mushroom.
Characters having only 1 line when they switch positions and win makes certain characters unplayable. Daisy repeating
>Hi I'm Daisy
will make you want to blow your head after you finish a race, so imagine a full tour.
But I get what they were going for with DD, a lot of it was improved in Wii.

Could you elaborate on why? Is it because it's a "randomizer" kind of deal?

>>716363661 (OP)
terrible roster

>>716363661 (OP)
only 150cc and mirror mode have actual rewards, so just do them

>>716363661 (OP)
It only takes about a little over an hour, maybe an hour and a half if you take your time.

>>716363661 (OP)
>they expect you to play each course more than once?
>why the FUCK would they expect me to play the game AFTER i beat it?
>do they think i have FUN playing this game or something?
take your meds, schizo.

More like double diarehah.

If someone needs to explain it to you I..I just feel sorry for you man.

>>716364045
I prefer a proper VS. mode where you can pick and choose options, since that also allows you to make your own makeshift All Cup Tour (32 course random or 16 in-order if you specifically want Nitro) alongside having a freeplay mode. Was never a fan of how DD forces you to play entire cups for specific courses when Super Circuit before it had a proper freeplay.

>Erm... Nintendo actually expects me to le play their game? Oof...

Next you'll find out about Rock Band 2's Endless Setlist and the Bladder of Steel achievement.

And yes, All Cup Tour is kino. Unlike the small 4 race cups, finishing low in a race doesn't immediately eliminate you from the podium. Getting 16 straight 1sts also provides some real challenge.

50cc has the Bill Blaster, the second best kart in the game. 100cc has the Toads, who are some of the best characters in the game.

that's special cup, not all cup tour

>>716364045
MKW not having an all-track knockout tour ending with Rainbow Road is so retarded. What a lazy fucking game, so many obvious missed features.

>>716363661 (OP)
I beat them all as a kid, zoom zoom. You blow it in the one of the last races, you do it over again.Deal with it you little broccoli headed bitch.

>game makes you play it

it's been like 20 years and still nobody can agree on who has the best items

>>716376724
it's koopa/paratroopa because you can stunlock people with x3 green shells

>>716376798
or I could completely wreck like 3 people with bowser shell

>>716376724
It's obviously Diddy because he monkey

>>716376724
The Koopas have items that should have been in the general pool. You are shooting yourself in the foot for not picking them.

Giant banana is also bugged

>>716376724
It used to be debated between all the lights (except Babies) since they all have a solid niche, but it tended to be Koopas for triple Red and Green Shells, Jr. being good in single player modes due to crowd clearing with Bowser Shell, and Diddy's Giant Banana being a fantastic trapping tool in multiplayer but useless in single player since enemies phase through items. Lightweights are most important due to accessing Barrel Train, all other weight classes are not in consideration at all.
However, recently Toad/Toadette is unanimously considered the best because you can make their Golden Mushroom last forever.
