#56. Mario Kart 8 (Wii U, 2014)
This is everything I could want in a Mario Kart game. I think this is finally the one where the control feels basically perfect - which came to me out of controlling the bikes over the karts. I guess that was really the big difference maker. Not that the other ones controlled badly, but I just think this one feels great.

The main game is fine, typical Mario Kart stuff, but the main draw though is finally, a console Mario Kart with really solid online multiplayer. Nintendo is still mired in their Friend Code bullshit, so that will always dampen it a bit, but its not really a big detriement here, its realtively easy to get into a game with friends and just play. And that's really all you can ask for. The courses are solid, there's a good variety old and new (Mount Wario is my favorite Mario Kart course of all time). And that's all I can really say about it. It's exactly what you want out of Online Mario Kart on a console and nothing more. Of course, I have the regular version on Wii U, not the Switch deluxe version so that makes things trickier now. But oh well. Multiplayer that works, fun courses, and a great-looking game.



Next Up: This game is the only Metroidvania (sorry if you don't like that term) in its massive IP.
