I 100% agree with the score on this one.
For some reason this entry in the series seems to get a lot of hate and honestly, I don't know why as I adore how it goes back to the SNES way of doing things.
Perhaps that was what people didn't like about it...
Played this one so, so much and I was floored to see all the SNES tracks being unlocked after you complete the regular cups.
Definitely one of my favourites.

@[email protected] This was my first Mario Kart, so I am contractually obliged to love it to bits (even if I'm no good at it). Takes second place in my MK list, just below Wii.

It’s definitely one of the toughest Mario Kart games.
I actually miss this style of MK.
Despite the new ones feeling just perfect in every way possible, the drifting feels a little too on rails for me.
Bit on the easy side.
Love the shoutout for Wii btw.
Another entry that does not deserve the hate it gets at all.
For single player racing I actually prefer it to DS.
A steering wheel and some of those harder courses and it’s just bliss to play. 😄
The battle modes after DS just don’t hit those highs anymore sadly.
@[email protected] That's the issue... 8DX feels too "clean". The older games felt a bit more rough and frantic, like you're actually trying to keep a dodgy little kart under control.
But I mainly like Wii because of the inline bikes zipping about all over the track. Lots of fun.

I hated those bikes. 😅
But that’s only because they were not balanced compared to the karts, so that messed up online in a big way.
A similar thing happened to Ridge Racer btw.
While the new ones feel and look incredible, they lost something in trying to shave off all though rough edges till there was nothing left.
Didn’t like the addition of nitros either myself.
Till this day Ridge Racer V remains the final one which really felt rewarding as you needed to keep the cars under control.
In the follow-ups you could do multiple 360s while drifting and still win without any issues.
The old one were an actual battle, against the opponents but also the tracks.
I really miss that.
