Mario kart isnt a real racing game. Smash Bros isnt a real fighting game and Zelda isnt a real RPG. But theyre still fantastic.

Cheese wiz isnt a real cheese and you still like it, TC. Southern comfort isnt a real whisky and you still like it TC. And those steak ums you buy arent really steak. This has never stopped you

It's a "kart" racing game with arcade racing mechanics...
Instead of driving licensed street cars/rally cars, you drive 100cc~250cc go karts

I never understood why fans insist on keeping genres so rigid and narrowly focused.

Smash Bros is not a conventional fighter, but it is still designed with the same general set-up and goal as anything else in the genre. Call it a "Party Fighter" or a "Platform Fighter" if it helps you sleep at night.

Some of the best or most influential games only happened because they added to or defied genre conventions, and in turn invented new sub-genres. Like "Metroidvania" or "Roguelike".

It just seems silly to be so invested in whether or not X popular game is Y genre. As if genres themselves cant advance, evolve, and diverge over time.
