pretty fun gameplay but there's an insane amount of unnecessary dialogue that makes 60% of your play time just spamming "a" to get through text. the gameplay idea isn't unique, but again, it's pretty good
One of the few Mario Kart games I return to because of the mechanic that doesn't even feel like a gimmick. Also I like creating unethical character combos like baby mario and petey piranha on a kart that's just a skinned yoshi.

really fun game when there's nothing else to play. it can get pretty addicting though, especially once you build your own massive empire.

I'm really giving this game the benefit of the doubt since it can be a lot of fun when playing on original hardware with an original controller with an original human. I only really mention that cause I feel like playing this on something like NSO or Virtual Console just kind of leaves you wondering why you're playing super Mario kart instead of a good Mario kart game that you can just play there. It's fun for a cup or two, but there's some really bullshit things like that one ice track where you keep driving into blocks that halt you, along with the really weird drifting.
This game is nowhere near bad, but it's almost impossible to call it really good It kind of feels like more NSMB Wii but portable, and while it's kind of braindead, it does its job and keeps me playing when all of my good games aren't working. I feel like a 7 might be too high, but it's kind of a guilty pleasure game for me.
first playthough: peak platforming game that actually throws some difficult parts here and there
second+ play through: FUCK YEAAAAAAAH BROTHER GRAAAAAAAAH I LOVE DONKEY KONG 🦍🦍🦍

really great game but how much of that is the original gba version talking instead of the "changes" here
Some of the greatest games of all time along with sunshine and the other half of Mario 64. hard to rate this though since it's really just a collection of them on switch.
pretty fun puzzle collection, and since it was at a fair msrp, there's not really a ton to complain about. you can easily find this for like 10 bucks on wii u, and you can't really go wrong at the price

the pokemon hater's favorite pokemon game

Really fun movement once you get used to it, and it has that really nice snes feeling "2d scroller with a boss at the end" gameplay
i always buy the newest warioware game thinking that there's gonna be more content, and then get disappointed when there's not more gameplay
Easily the best core tetris experience but one minor gripe I have is that the effects are so big that I always get distracted by the colors exploding in the background (especially since the tetrominoes are made to blend in)

giving it a good score cause I recognize the polish but man I think I just am neutral towards sonic
would be a 10 if link between worlds didn’t exist this game is the dictionary definition of peak
