Please forgive me for not playing SNES or GBA. I'm a 64 baby.

>>386157717
thats the only one ive played. the customization of the bonus items was good fun. baby mario with bowser junior was top tier.

whats wrong with it?

The arcade ones were weird

>>386157798
Not OP, but I liked the GBA Mario kart

>>386159194
>baby mario with bowser junior was top tier.
MUH NIGGA

Mario kart is just rng and I hate it
You can lose if the game feels like it in the last lap even if you were 1stplace all the way down to 8th even if you were winning the entire race until that point
If you don't get the exact items to win you just don't
basically play this game only with people you secretly hate

>>386157717
>MK8>DS>64>7>DD>Wii

Actual answer:
MK8 > Wii = 7 > 64 > DS > GBA > SNES > DD.

>>386157717
best mario kart you little scrub lord
best physics

DS > SMK > 8 > Wii = 7 > DD > SC > 64

By all means I should be nostalgic for 64 but I have an easier time going back to fucking Goldeneye. Time has not been kind to it IMO.

The worst Mario Kart is the original Super Mario Kart as the GBA game includes all its tracks in addition to new ones and 4-player multiplayer and a significant amount of its tracks have been remade for latter games.

Worst character lineup out of any post-DD Mario Kart game, on a handheld, and lamer new tracks than MKDS, yet for some reason I keep coming back to this one.

>>386159860
This looks like the opinion of someone who actually played the games, and isn't just basing his list on nostalgia. I didn't expect to see that here.

>Not Mario Kart Wii

Shit taste.

>>386159914

Super Mario Kart doesn't have the blue shell though. Item balance was done in a way to where raw skill still kind of mattered. On the filpside though, the rubberbanding AI is abhorrent in it so it's one of the worst for Grand Prix.

>>386159860
Your opinion is automaticity wrong because 64 is not at the bottom
64 was a bad game even at release, playing today its very hard to get any fun out of it

>>386160065

MK7 has Neo Bowser City, but in general I think it had the most risk/reward new tracks to date.

Actually, reread that post. It's actually fact. Based on empirically observable evidence and truth.

>>386160352
Neo Bowser City in 7 is also bugged as hell and has many players online abusing its glitchy shortcuts. It's Wii's Grumble Volcano all over again.

>>386160607

I didn't know that. I just have a fetish for hairpin turns in Mario Kart.

>>386159865
With that shitty ass handling and awful air time it can't be the best.

At what VR range do you stop getting matched with braindead people in mk8d? I've played in some 8k rooms, but the majority of the players still played like they weren't even trying.

Everybody shits on Double Dash, but it's the only game post MK64 that doesn't have a stupid gimmick.

>>386161067
you're so biased you've become blind

>>386161067
You can't be serious...

>>386161067

What's DS's stupid gimmick? And what is DD's whole "2 racers in one kart" thing if not a gimmick? I'll admit that I like the strategy it added but come on, it's arguably THE most gimmicky of the post-64 titles.

>>386161067
Double Dash is my favorite Mario Kart, and even I gotta agree that your statement is retarded.

>>386160243
It's fun to watch really good players on that game because the mode 7 is weird.

>>386160352
MK7 has a lot of decent tracks I hope come back.

>>386159162
but MK8, 7, and Wii are all essentially the same fucking thing.

>>386161450

No, the damn wheel with MKWii is the largest gimmick. I don't know how adding two items and two racers is a "gimmick" especially since you can have two items again in MK8 Deluxe.

MKDS' gimmick is Mission Mode.

Sorry but ANY Kart game from the GC era and below sucks ass, the controls manage to feel clunky as shit, SPECIALLY MK64, while if you go back and play MKDS it still feels good and you get used to it in minutes if not seconds, THE ONLY EXCEPTION is Crash Team Racing, for some reason it has tight as shit controls, is rewarding and has a story mode that Mario Kart still lacks, fucking why? MKDS was on the right track with those 1P missions, they just fucked up, although playing with friends is still the tits.

>>386161059
It's Mario Kart, not taking it too seriously is the best way to go about it.

>>386161821

An alternate, optional control scheme is the biggest gimmick in a series that has since added mandatory shit like gliding, underwater driving and anti-gravity. In the wake of that, NONE of this has as much impact as putting 2 racers in a kart, and I'm not even saying that's a bad gimmick but it's by far the most impactful, it changed how the game worked across the board. 8 doesn't bring that back wholesale because you can't have 2 players control the same kart (even the Wii Wheel ain't got shit on that), which means the shoving mechanic is still gone. And lastly, DS's gimmick is being the only MK with a modestly fleshed out single player mode? DUDE, FUCKING WHAT?

It's hard to really compare them to the other games but they're still really good.

I'm surprised that those tracks never appeared in any of the other games, even the extra cups where they take courses from previous games.

At first I thought Yoshi was slapping his ass.

>>386162072
>mario kart 64 sucks ass by today's standard
What else is new? It was a fun game, and I think many of us will always cherish those memories, but anyone who still thinks MK64 is the best, they are a lying hipster with a triforce tattoo

Objective answer based on balanced gameplay in terms of item selection, item AI rubber banding, and movement mechanics, and race track selection:
MK8>DS>SMK>DD>Wii>64>GBA

>>386157717
>I'm bad at snaking

>>386163230

And MK7?

>>386157717
this is my favorite one. I also like mario kart wii and 7 a whole bunch. I don't like maio kart 64 or 8 even all that much

>>386163230
MK8 has the worst items though.

>>386163567

Eh, I dunno about that. Wii has the thundercloud. 8 brought back the feather and finally added a counter to blue shells.

>>386163735
8 has a bunch of spammable items, and that shitty piranha item that's just a waste of space.
The thundercloud is shit, and there no way to defind it, but that's just one item. MK8 has multiple bullshit items, that are just way to strong and add to the item rapyness of the series. Still a good game though.
Also how common is it that you actually get to use the superhorn on a blueshell? I usually get that stolen from a Boo, or get forced to use it on the swarm of red shells coming from the guy in 2nd.

>>386158013
>not Funky Daisy Bike Wii

>>386164218

>piranha

Granted, that item is godawful. Which other ones are bullshit, though? I guess there's the lucky 8 or whatever it's called but that's a spillover from 7. And the horn's saved my ass from blue shells before, and quite frankly it's nice to have the option or have a viable item to hold in 1st that isn't triple bananas/green shells.

>>386164562
Fireflower, you can just spam it and fuck people up by hitting them multiple times with all the shots you get
Boomerang, just goes trough every item like it's nothing, and you can use it multiple times.
Red shells are insanely good now, in previous games you could block them be taking tight turns, or just drive close to walls, but no in mk8
Even greenshells are really strong in mk8. In older games they would bounce of in the same angle they hit the wall, like when you hi the boards in pool billiard, not in mk8 though, In mk8 greenshells actually target players and bounce towards them, the so called "smart bounce" feature.
There's more, but I'm too tired to type more.

>>386165189

Hmm, fire flower's not new and I never liked it much. It's fine in close races but if you're in like 5th or something and 4th isn't in sight then it becomes "hammer the button to get rid of the useless item for 5 seconds". It's so aggravating when that item isn't useful. Boomerang to me is just a shittier take on shells or fire flowers, and again is only really any good in a particularly close race. Red shell AI being smart is much better than it being stupid like it is in 64, at least they do their fucking job and are still as blockable as ever. Green shells just sound like they got a slight buff, they've always been fair items.

>>386166202

It's arguable that bikes broke the game but that's only an issue if you didn't use bikes.

I played DD with these horrible assholes that had a house rule where they played faggot ass babby park every other race. Fucking awful stage and awful game.

>>386157717
While DD is overrated as fuck (like pretty much all GC games), Super Circuit is actually the worst MK game.

>>386166318

you can turn off bikes in settings tho

>>386166417

Can't turn them off online though.

>>386166004
Where is Mario Kart 7?

>>386166502

online was full of hackers spamming lightning and bullet bills anyway

>>386159640
maybe cause i was a 7yo shitter, but having chainchop take me to first was incredibly satisfying.

Not anymore though.

That's not MK64. Only good thing MK64 had was the battle mode with at least 3 people

>>386167934

This 100%. Block Fort is still the pinnacle of battle mode but that's really all 64 has going for it in this day and age.

>all this shitting on MK64
MK64 has better controls & tracks than DD.

>>386168279

and absolutely atrocious rubberbanding AI

>>386168326
And?The ai doesn't use items besides bananas/fake boxes/ghosts, maybe stars or thunder (but mostly those at dead last), and item fuckery isn't as bad as late mario karts, and keeping constant mini-turbos gives lot of advantage over them, even when they start speeding up.
The worst thing of 64 is the graphics (which were always considered bad) and lack of content.

>>386167384
I can see why MKW taking first by a country mile. Bikes were absurdly strong, but it at least had an element of skill behind it and you could do well even if you were getting assraped by every Blue Shell and lightning bolt in existence if there exists a skill gap between you any everyone else. Regular shells in MK8 are so fucking strong that I consider getting hit by a green or red no different from being blue shelled if you play anything heavier than Toad. It's not out of the ordinary to get hit by two shells and finish a race at a lower position than someone who just picked up the game a week ago. This is why I couldn't get into MK8 online after playing 100+ hours playing MKW.

Also, MK8's netcode feels even wonkier than Wii's for some reason.

>>386168160
The other games have some banding, but it's nowhere fucking close to as bad as MK64 where the CPU can get times that are impossible to obtain from playing the track normally because you took a major skip or two.

>>386159024
