They have mario sunshine references for that alone its peak

im here for the wario-like genre to take over the world, wish peppino was a bit less slippery tho, fantastic ost also

good ideas, but not an ideal execution: a certified sonic moment

dont let the 16 bit cars fool you this game is a harder drug than crack

this game has greedy gacha, unfair p2w aspects, lots of bugs and yet im still hooked many months later please send help

a racing game with lots of potential but in a very undercooked state at the moment, the mechanics are good (except the car collisions) but theres just not much to do in it. (they gotta add custom tracks ASAP)

The only real downside here is the graphics, aside from that you have a great selection of classic tracks, pretty much every track from tour (not all of them are good but most of them are) and Wiggler the GOAT. If you have mk8d you gotta get this.

Side note: with the base game and the booster course pass combined i think theres a case for mario kart 8 deluxe being a top 10 videogame osts ever made

2021

Revisiting it a year later with the unabandoned 1.0 build (which doubles the star count, has many new areas and a lot of QOL updates), still fascinated with all the obscure details, themes and the weird levels. If you are a mario fan that kept up with all the weird mythos surrounding mario 64 you should check this out

got this for 5 bucks and still felt kinda ripped off, just go play banana mania or the gamecube originals instead

You know SEGA really knocked sonic's design out of the park when they somehow managed to trick people into playing past marble zone

"one more" i say knowing fully well im gonna lose and try again

The best clearly rushed to try to save the gamecube game ever!

Perhaps its mostly the nostalgia talking but this game just has a feel and style that no other game has ever been able to recapture for me, how smooth mario feels, the unique level themes and distinct soundtrack, all the weird experimental mechanics including of course, FLUDD, all the dumb jank, etc.
a lot of things here should not work when they come all together but they do somehow (for me at least).

That said if you dont like this game i cant even blame you, it does have a lot of bullshit that even the games' unique charm can't always make up for.

7/10 its a masterpiece

Not only were tails and super sonic fantastic additions to the series, but the game is an improvement over the original in every way possible, really the only bad thing about this game is some annoying enemy placement in the latter half but that can be mitigated if you are playing a version with widescreen.
