Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

-----------------

Racing Game-rules: Sorry Leon, I know you really wanted to do the SBAllen Crimes Mount Rushmore, but I had a dream last night that we did Racing Games and I was always told to follow my dreams.

Needs to be an officially released video game, not a fan games or anything. Needs to involve racing with no major genre shifts. Racing must be the focus. Can be arcade, home, whatever.

THIS IS NOT FRANCHISES, THIS IS INDIVIDUAL GAMES! If it isn't clear what game you're voting for I'll throw the vote away with extreme prejudice

I debated a bit between MK64 and MK8 but I feel like 8 has far and away eclipsed it at this point. F-Zero X gets to be the N64 rep.

  • Monaco GP. We need one of the old pioneers of the genre, and this is as good as any.
  • Hydro Thunder. I'd like a non-car game.
  • Gran Turismo 3. Fits the "realistic" model as well as any of them, any of the GT games will do.
  • Mario Kart 8.

Snowboard Kids 2 is totally a favorite pick, but it's a non-car racing game that's amazing and everyone should play it. It's a damn shame they haven't made another one.

Gran Turismo
Need For Speed: Most Wanted (2005)
Daytona USA
Mario Kart 64

I think Gran Turismo 2 belongs on a rushmore instead of GT1 but as long as a PSX GT game gets on there, it's fine.

Most Wanted 2005 is remembered as the final truly great NFS and gave us one of the most iconic cars in racing games (your BMW M3 GTR)

Daytona USA was secretly a drifting game disguised as a NASCAR game that completely dominated arcades. Also gave us "Daytonaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Mario Kart 64, a Mario Kart needs to be on here but I'm tentatively putting 64 on here over 8. Might change my mind later.

Mario Kart 8 (64 is much better but I see the writing on the wall here -- this is the arcade-style rep)

Gran Turismo (somebody convince me which one, otherwise I'm going with the original for the simulator-rep)

F-Zero GX (think this one wins out for prepping futuristic racers)

...dunno what for a fourth yet Debating between racing games found in actual arcades, but also wondering if I'm missing worthy reps from the SNES and earlier that isn't Super Mario Kart.

not being able to fuck the robot makes none of the spouse answers good sadly.

Mario Kart 8
Gran Turismo
Daytona USA
F-Zero GX

the first 3 kinda feel like they have it locked up if trying to avoid repeats and outright represent different genres/phases of the genre. the last one is odd man out but honestly it has a case in terms of absolute quality as well as being a nice inspiration for future games. technically if i was thinking more legacy i might think wipeout more but GX is just that damn good of a game that it deserves to fight for that spot.

I'm going to go a different route with one that nobody nominated but is actually a huge game and has been around for quite a long time now. But I get why it's looked over on B8.

iRacing

Gran Turismo
Daytona USA
IndyCar Racing (Just to add a personal Favorite)

See and this is such a wide category, that I left out great top down racing games and moreso driving games like Outrun

But it's not really racing. It's against a clock sure, but not other cars.
Power Drift is the Super Scaler true racing game from that era that should be getting votes. Heck, it's basically the precursor to Mario Kart but without powerups.

Another arcade pick that wouldn't be outrageous is Ivan "Ironman" Stewart's Super Off-Road, that game felt like it was everywhere at one point. Plus I think it was the first where you used your race winnings to upgrade parts between races
