Confirm.

I didn't enjoy Double Dash or Mario Kart 8 as much. The kart handling and physics just aren't as good. Also, the ink weapon is annoying.

D. The newer games are fantastic. My only gripe is that they've spent too much time on 8. Coming up on 10 years since the original release

theyve released pretty much another game in that time with the DLC.

But to a degree, I agree.

Need a bigger roster of characters too.

None of the Kart games ever gave me the same feeling as 64. It was perfect.

64 controlled worse than every game that came after it. Especially the automatic slipping on 150cc. Double Dash was the peak, IMO before they went overboard with gimmicks/antigravity.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that a lot of what youre feeling is purely nostalgia.

and MK64 was a big part of my childhood as Im sure it was of yours as well.

its a legendary game of course, but the future titles improved in the formula immensely.

Who needs graphics when you've got gameplay?

But I went back and played it again after MK8. Still liked it more.

Everything about it is superior. I think maybe I just like the more simplistic style.

I play MK8 a ton with my daughter and trying to play 64 afterwards is just very painful. MK8 just controls and feels buttery smooth in comparison.

but to each their own.

I think both Wii and DS improved on 64. Didn't play a whole lot of double dash

Bad faith topic.

But serious answer, as much as I love Mario Kart 64, Wii and 8 have definitely surpassed it. 64 is definitely better than Double Dash tho.

as I said I feel a lot of the sentiments towards 64 lies in nostalgia.

the memories I have of VS mode with family and friends Ill always cherish more than playing a better sequel. But from a technical standpoint it isnt the peak.

The roads feel iced over, and it doesn't even make sense that the racers use hang gliders. I thought we're supposed to be playing a go kart racing game.

True, as far as the stages go, we've gotten an entire new games worth with the dlc. I want a new game though, to improve on all of the other aspects of the game.

DK Racing, Sonic Team Racing are all top tier racers and they have similar if not more over the top gimmicks.

So I dont see the issue tbh.

It's certainly the one that I have the most nostalgia for, but nah. Double Dash and 8 Deluxe are both fantastic and better imho, and DS was damn good to be about on par with 64.

Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less.

Most of them are okay.
It's kind of shallow but I've probably pick whichever one has the liveliest online. Might deduct some points for the paid online though.

Are there any other MK games that let you skip half of Rainbow Road by making intuitive jumps? MK64 has some jank, but also has some of the best feeling shortcuts.

Snaking is fun in DD and DS, but becomes its own kind of game.
8 feels overproduced, IMO. I have it plenty of chances, but ultimately I dislike how intentional it feels. I want to jump into the abyss and land on the road below me!

MK Wii has a freakishly difficulty ultra shortcut on Rainbow Road that cuts most of the track out. It's far less likely to happen than 64's but I bet it'd feel way more satisfying.

That's exactly the game I meant to avoid. All the short cuts look like this or worse: https://youtu.be/W1uTlyxxt34

I like the MK64 shortcut because it's something that feels realistic within the game, yet let's you beat your little nephew who never learned it. It gives you a clear goal to strive for. Later games generally have either real unintuitive ultra shortcuts, or just don't let you make those cool jumps at all. And, yeah, I know there's some stupid clipping short cuts in MK64, those are bad too.
