Mario Kart World

  • Went into this game fully being comfortable with knowing that Mario Kart 8 will likely never be surpassed. I simply just wanted a new Mario Kart after 11 years of MK8. And I was right, it definitely is not going to be surpassed any time soon
  • Hate intermissions. Fun idea that could be implemented sparingly or in a separate mode but to essentially ruin Grand Prix mode is frustrating. I assume this will be remedied at some point in the future but who knows. All I wanna do is race
  • Some of these tracks, especially the intermissions portions, are laughably wide. It's a cheap way to bunch the whole field up and the sense of speed is sorely lacking
  • Free roam mode, while a little under cooked, is a lot of fun. Some of the missions are extremely basic (collect 8 coins before time runs out) while some of them can be really surprising. There are genuine moments of discovery in free roam that I'm still having fun...discovering
  • The costumes are a fun idea, just wish there was more unique ones among characters such as the vampire outfit only being for Waluigi
  • Sure feels like where you place in a lot of races, especially online with real people, comes down to what items you happen to get on the final or final two item box chances. Mushrooms feel like the best item you can get 
  • I don't feel as rewarded for racing well as I have in the past. I'm all for the AI being tough in 150cc (please give us 200cc someday) but this doesn't feel like it's them being good as much as me feeling limited from being Fast and Furious. Drifting hardly gives you the boost you'd expect. 
  • Get these stupid fucking baby characters outta here - I'M GOOD
  • Shockingly small amount of original music in the game. However the music IS great, all the remixes are amazing. I was just looking forward to more original stuff 
  • Wish there was more original tracks as well 
  • I sound negative because I'm a huge Mario Kart fan. It's still a great game. I still get excited every single day to play it. Every kid is going to love it. I still look forward to playing it for a very long time. 11 years though? I'm not sure about that
