It's far and away the best Mario kart so it makes sense

DS is the best from a gameplay perspective, but 8 is the 2nd best due to amount and quality of the courses.

I think you'll find Mario Kart Wii is the best due to its ridiculous physics engine and active TT/online scene.

DS has mission mode and the roster isn't infested by a bunch of Koopalings and metal babies.

To me it's probably Double Dash, I just don't like the feeling of driving in that game and everything looks so plastic-y. Though 64 gets held up a bit much too, it wasn't even the best kart racer of that era!

Super circuit and 64 hold the best memories, for me, meanwhile. (Edit: even though Diddy Kong Racing was better back in the 64 era.)

Mario Kart series is super overrated and has been outdone countless times by other games that don't get the same recognition because they're not filled with mario characters >_>

Nah, DD is too hated to be the most overrated.

MK64 still the best

They make a bazillion dollars every year for a game that came out in 2014. I guess their thought process is 'why bother putting in work when we can do nothing and still get rewarded'.

Fair RE: DD, I hear people talk about it a lot but guess the love's not universal. 64 is absolutely overrated though imo, CTR was kicking its ass back in the 90s. (Can't speak for Diddy) Screw that rubber band AI!

Deluxe already has the DLC from the original MK8.

As the dude that was known for calling everything overrated on this board since 2005, I have this to say.

Unless you're like me and believe everything is overrated, you're gonna have a hard time justifying that Double Dash is overrated. I've always heard it being one of the least popular in the series, aside from Super Circuit and maybe Wii.

I have just heard lots of people lately praise that game (and anything from that era), I didn't realise it was still the unpopular opinion. But fair, I go back to saying MK64 is the most overrated, then.

DD has always been my favorite.

64 is the worst I've played and is definitely way overrated.

The portable Mario Karts can't be best since they don't have 4 player local multiplayer.

technically Link Cables and Wireless are local communications!

For one-cart play... there was Download Play for both DS and MK7 - restricted to 8 tracks for DS but all available for MK7....... you're just forced to play Shy Guy for both games.

DS is my favorite. I was legitimately great at that online Multiplayer. The only times I'd lose were if there was a snaker in the lobby. Spent so many hours in the Time Trials mode. Only ever used Luigi.

I've been addicted to the runner these days...Tour.
I wonder if Tour has made them the most money. It has 50 million downloads on google play alone. Which dwarfs this sales figure.

I'll get Deluxe when I get a Switch, but I probably still won't do that for a couple of more years.I have played Deluxe though, so I have a general sense of the game.

I mean... You weren't really playing MKDS if you weren't snaking lol. That was just the meta, unfortunately.

I was skeptical about buying 8 Deluxe for pretty much just the DLC as new content, but they did a solid job of adding a good battle mode too.

Blur was awesome.
That week long open beta they ran was absolutely awesome.
