The single best kart racer ever made gameplay-wise, bar none in my opinion. The core gameplay of this game has led me to log hundreds of hours on servers, having the time of my life all the while. I can’t stress enough how fun and satisfying just… driving around in this game is, which is also helped the (mostly, fuck you Ganbare) amazing and beautifully retro tracks. Seriously, the social aspect of this game in combination with its gameplay leads to an infinitely replayable experience, as long as you have people to play with.

Unfortunately, that’s also the problem with it. Due to the games(current) only single-player content being time trials, if there’s nobody online on the servers you like, you’re shit outta luck. And for me, because I personally prefer vanilla gameplay, that’s lead to very little personal playtime on SRB2K for quite some time, as the community has mostly turned to modded gameplay as we await the next update/sequel, although said update/sequel will definitely rekindle the community.

Overall, the core gameplay is ultra-addicting and it’s a phenomenal social experience, but actually getting to that point may be difficult at the moment if you don’t enjoy modded gameplay.
