Say something positive about this game...

is the open world bullshit even any fun compared to the traditional race tracks?

I'll never understand why Nintendo refuses to try and do something new with the formula like double dash. It was the smallest change you could make but they never did anything like it again.

it has birdo

The remixes of tracks that they refused to put in the game sound good at least.

It kind of highlights that nothing in the game is original.

Is he right?

It spawned a bunch of new Dasiy fan art.

When I get my Switch 2, I'm going to get Mario Kart World and drive to Rainbow Road, so I can take photos.

Ever since MKDS (technically super circuit did it first but it wasn't transformative), the retro tracks let them bloat the track list by letting you enjoy previous favorites with the new game's mechanics.
Problem is now that there's so much retro content that isn't well adapted to the new mechanics that the new tracks aren't even that notable either. It feels kind of empty, especially when you stack it against how many tracks were in prior games, 8 especially due to the DLC.

I didn't buy it.

DLC with Ashley will save it

something positive about this game

>>719883194 (OP)
in one hand im sad that the only game i was looking forward to had such a bad reception
in the other im glad nintendo is getting btfo in all directions

none its a dogshit boring item spam game. DS, wii, and 7 are better games

>>719883194 (OP)
Even MK Tour was more fun.

>>719892954
No-one thinks 7 was better you fucking shitstain.
It didn't even have a VS mode for fucks sake, the only Mario Kart to do that.

>>719893056
>mogs all racing games on the market
How did he do it?

>>719892954
DS and wii were the peak of the series

>>719893063
who the fuck plays vs with bots? you were supposed to play online like a normal person

>>719893572
>Never played with friends at your or their house
Anon I don't need to explain that online isn't needed for everything right?

>>719893572
Personally the main issue is you're forced to do time trial just to pick 1 course you like or want to practice, online mode doesn't let you do that unless you like getting your shit pushed in until you figure it out.

>>719893676
that's what LOCAL MULTIPLAYER is for dumbfuck

>>719883194 (OP)
I love everything about the game and it might be my most favorite game in the series. Youtubers are just autists who want to race around in a circle nonstop and would turn off items if they could so who gives a shit what they think.

>>719883194 (OP)
fat pauline ass

>>719883273
It's a different dynamic. It's like a mad dash to get to the next course with the items being more prominent and random elements like the cars mixing things up. I really enjoy it, but still like to play the 3 lap races when given the option.

>>719894453
Fucking retards like you would try to defend a lack of vs mode, fucks sake.

>>719894876
Driving in a circle is better than driving in a straight line.

>>719893056
what the fuck is this soulless font? looks like smash ult

>Air Ride 1's UI takes heavily from Smash Melee because of how closely released it was
>Air Riders' UI therefore takes heavily from Smash Ultimate
Makes sense to me, Soccerguy's wife has also been basically his UI designer since Brawl.

>>719896252
Not when the straight line has more random elements to it.

>>719883194 (OP)
The grind and wall mechanics are cool and give it something other kart racers can't offer.

>>719883273
No>>719885932
She was the one good thing about wonder too

>>719885960
I mean the fact that you can even ask the question with how poor mario kart has been should be more than enough

>>719895143
>It's a different dynamic.
Soooooo no.

>>719883194 (OP)
The strongest Nitro Course selection since Wii. A top 3 starter track in Mario Bros. Circuit, Whistlestop Summit, Bowser's Castle, Rainbow Road, and Dry Bones Burnout are legitimately all-timers, Crown City and Acorn Heights are both on the better side of enjoyable, etc. even simpler tracks like Boo Cinema, Crown City, and Faraway Oasis have really nice shortcuts that're both strong way to catch up itemless and take advantage of the new mechanics in satisfying ways.
The only outright shit Nitro is Starview Peak because despite being pretty and having a good song the tracks is dead simple and only has a single even remotely demanding shortcut (the snow cut into railgrind into staying on the edge at that last water section) to make up for it.

I love the costumes.
The characters have better and more dynamic animations during races.
Rainbow Road is beautiful and actually gave me chills the first time I played.
DK's Astroport is a really cool track.
Knock-out mode is a great mode for online with randoms.

>>719897968
Whoops, replace that first Crown City I put next to Acorn Heights with Great ? Ruins. I know people jack that track off a whole lot because it was basically the first "clippable" skip discovered, but I feel like that one doesn't really make up for all of the other relevant skips on the track being fairly item-reliant. Still a pretty good track though.

>>719883194 (OP)
>Say something positive about this game...
It makes Air Riders
look even better by comparison.

the transitional tracks are actually pretty fun

>>719898341
>costumes
some are hit and miss
>character animations
agreed
>rainbow road
yeah, I guess
>DK's Astroport
love this track
>Knock-out mode
Needs more randomized intermissions than the same 8 rallies

>>719898510
I really wish they were. It feels like the only winning strategy on any of them is to just sit in the back with a gold mushroom until the end of the race. They're incredibly repetitive because of that.

>>719883273
I think it's really good, but you've got to have an intrinsic enjoyment for the driving mechanics.
I didn't think much of it until I tried it, and spent a few hours just driving around, taking in the sights, tricking off of anything that would let me, and just generally playing it like a sandbox.
The rewards and challenges are sparse, so if you only get extrinsic motivation to play this game, that can be an issue.
Personally, I think the chasing of trophies and completion has kind of hindered my enjoyment for a while. I wasn't thinking about what I wanted to race on. Just which three-star trophies I still needed.
I've been hoping for a "random grand prix" option for a while now.
Maybe World could have an Endless mode where you just keep being given random tracks until you decide to stop.

The time trials look fun...

yes it reminds me a lot of the wacky races cartoons

Didn't do that- it's Mario Kart so if you like mario kart you'll probably enjoy it.

>>719900751
ultimate and brawl were fine smash 4 was terrible

Not really.

>>719883417
They did in this game and everybody hated it.
