Mario Kart World's aesthetic reminds me of Sonic Adventure

Mario Kart World's courses are not like the old games. They are more like a transition from one course to another over multiple "laps". And you do this transitioning on one giant island or continent. It's a more fluid version of Sonic Adventure's adventure fields.

In Mario Kart World, you transition from Cities to Jungles to Ruins to Ice to Airships, etc. Same as Sonic Adventure.

Also it's bright and colorful and the music is good. Once again similar to Sonic Adventure. I'm a fan tbh

I love the Sonic Adventure games. I dont know how alone I am on that, but I do. I feel a lot of nostalgia for them (and in particular the music is memorable, which, as you said, is good). I have not played Mario Kart World yet.

I grew up in the sonic adventure games - had them both on dreamcast, then again on GameCube. I loved the games as a kid and beat them over and over again so many times. The chao garden occupied a bunch of my time, specifically on SA2 battle.

With that said, mk world is a better game. The sonic adventure games have some jank to them, and mk world has been smooth as butter.

Mario Kart World is obviously is more advanced, but that doesnt necessarily make it a better game. And it definitely isnt guaranteed to be liked more by everyone

The game is worse than MK8 by far.

• Free roam mode is boring as hell
• There is no Mirror mode
• There is no 200cc mode
• There are no remastered classic tracks
• You can't customize the karts
• There is no black yoshi
• There is no Gold Mario or Gold Kart
• There is no Diddy Kong
• The first "lap" of most races isn't even the actual track. Its just driving to the track from the previous one.
• Unlocking some characters depends on a randomly-given power up that randomly turns you into the character

The only good thing is some of the new tracks are kind of cool, and the knockout mode seems kinda cool too (though I haven't tried that mode yet).

Maybe some of this will be fixed with DLC, but to charge $80 initially for this game the DLC better be free.

Don't you have to unlock mirror mode?
