People can bring up any other Mario Kart game as being the "worst", even Super Circuit but I'll always hate MKWii the most. Why do you feel MK7 is the worst by the way?

dd is the worst, get your shit taste out of here. 8 is best.

I wish MK8 had the best part about MKWii, the half-pipes

>>387294628
I second the question, as well as inquire what this anon disliked about Wii.

>>387294607
MK Wii's motion controls are kinda bullshit but it's fine.

>>387294628
MK7 is just the worst because the rubberbanding is so fucking broken. The glider mechanics are totally useless and add nothing to the game. The new powerups are horseshit. The rubber banding has somehow managed to become even worse.

MK64 feels worse when it comes to rubberbanding.

That game was tons of fun. I only used the bikes with sharp turning though, and I hear people think they're busted. What's wrong with it, it's a decent game.

Super Circuit really is a big disappointment but it did give you mobile Mario Kart first.

>>387294842
True but at least the courses are a lot different than any later installments.

I spent the most time playing MK7 and it's not in any way bad, but my favorite MK game is tied with MKWii and MK8(DX)

>>387294493

I know how it feels, anon. I used to love MK:DD. But after playing MK8D and replaying MK:DD, I finally put away my nostalgia goggles and moved on.

>the half pipes

>Funky Stadium wasn't a retro course

I'm still mad

>>387294493
I hated Double Dash.

I like 64, 6, and 7 kinda equally.

I didn't play any others, so couldn't say but I always hear about MK Wii being trash.

>>387294493
>worst Mario Kart
>7
That isn't right though, you super faggot. DS is by far the most boring.

Mario Kart Wii was Atleast fun despite it's issues and arguably had the best Kart roster like that magikoopa motorcycle

Mario Kart 64 is both broken, and absolutely trash to play

>>387295205
DS is not the worst what the fuck. Did you have a concussion or are you just retarded?

>>387295140
Yeah, why didn't Funky Stadium return? They could of easily just expanded the half pipe wall and made it anti-gravity or something

>>387295140
Wario Gold Mine was one of my favorite levels in MKWii, nothing felt better than half-piping over the finish line and landing perfectly for the turn after, it feels so much more boring in MK8

>>387294898
>What's wrong with it, it's a decent game.
Funky Kong is the problem.

Actually yeah, I see your point.

7's stages are just really unfun and frustrating. Playing them in 8 really cements it for me. Fuck Rosalina's Ice World, Music Park, Piranha Plant, Wario's Shipyard. Also, the worst roster since there were only 8 characters.

>>387295594
This list seems pretty true but Mario Kart Wii isn't that good but not bad. Seven's just so fundamentally unfun.

7 was good and 8 was like a bad version of 7

>>387295523
explain.

>>387295594
How can you bash 8's roster and like 7?

>>387295673
The 3DS retros in mk8 are literally the best tracks in the game, what are you talking about.
>8 characters
You unlock more, anon. There are 16.

>>387294898
That game is slow as fuck, probably to compensate for the shitty waggle controls. Also it somehow managed to look worse than Double Dash.

>>387295673
Yeah I agree the tracks are just unimaginative and frustrating. Finally someone gets it.

>>387295840
And? It shouldn't be locked like that. 8 Characters is a pittance even if you can unlock double the amount. Besides 16 isn't even that much.

>>387295673
>only 8 characters
I'm pretty sure MK7 had 16 characters. You just had to unlock other half of them in 150cc.

>>387295921
>DS had 8 starting characters too, and only 4 unlockables

>>387294493
I can't.
But double-dash is the second worst Mariokart...

>>387294628
Seconding. Wii with it's million years of hitstun was complete bullshit. Good fucking luck trying to 3 star that thing.

>>387294493
Double Dash was fucking garbage.

>>387295594
8 fixed it for the most part.
8D is fucked.

1. 8
2. DS
3. DD
4. SC
5. 64
6. SMK

Didn't play 7 or Wii

Mario Kart 64 is unironically the worst MK

double dash is shit, why do people like it?
ds is the best though.

>>387294767
This.

My least favourite is probably MK64. Just because everyone always wants to play it because it's the only one they played as a kid.
I fucking love Double Dash, but all the plebs won't give anything that isn't N64 a chance.

>>387296137
Because doubledash was actually shit.
You didn't race so much as float around the course.

MK64 was far better (but inferior to SMK)
MKWii finally improved on it and MK8 is the best hands down home-console release.
8D is broken.

Mario Kart 64 is objectively the worst entry, and you're simply wrong if you disagree.

mk64 plays worse than every other game. the best game is probably DS or double dash, but MK8 and Wii are pretty close

I will admit its very overrated but its not the worse.

people liked MK64 cause nostalgia. I didn't play it growing up(I played SMK instead) but I recently played it cause some chads were having a tournament. Game was dogshit.

>>387296453

I didnt say I hated 64 in my pic. but the rubberbanding is godawful

>>387296469
Same reason why people like DD, it's the one they played growing up.

DD is also fucking dogshit.

God bless Nintendo for getting rid of that bullshit.
Online with it was a shitshow.

Nah it's the 2 items again.
I was actually miffed when they removed it but after playing 8 for a few years online, I'd actually come to appreciate it.

I was an inside drifter anyway, so fire hopping was pretty well useless for me. (Isabelle/MrScooty/Bowser Wing, ~10,600VR)

>>387296778
I introduce my friend to MK8D and its pretty nice to play and fun without seeing some guy being in 1st place miles ahead. Just chaos and fun.

>>387296778
how? im pretty sure it's advantage was negligible and only affected time trials

>>387296127
Ok but then my counter is why people hate double dash? There's literally no good answer to this question.

>>387296843
Oh ok. There was just this one guy on this discord who fucking despised MK8D because it didnt keep firehopping. He said it was "the only strategic part of the game and the game is horrible without it". That's like saying Smash4 is horrible because it doesn't have wavedashing. It just doesn't make sense.

Best:
Wii
Worst:
Super Circuit
Fight me you dumb fucking niggers

>>387296957
I don't hate it, I just don't like it. It feels slow and buggy. Plus racing should really just be one person a kart.

MK8D online still had this problem.

I think the item balancing is fixing it very well.

>>387297208
>t.funky kong main
No question about Super Circuit tho.

Super Circuit is the worst because it controls like total garbage. Even Super Mario Kart controls better.

Best is either 8 Deluxe or DS. I've seen good arguments for Wii though I don't really care for it.

>>387297427
Yup. DS is probably better than DD. But I was mostly sticking with the main console games but DS gets my vote as best.

I hate that 7 & 8 are basically just Wii's physics mangled to try and make it work for casual players. If people whined so much about Wii being too complex for them, then make another fucking Double Dash game, that one was literally the best casual racing formula there's even been.

7 & 8 are too simplistic for competitive players to move over and too complex for young kids and old people. The fact that Deluxe literally has a feature to keep you from going off-road or falling off really shows how flawed the gameplay is, meanwhile a literal four year old can play Double Dash.

>>387298443
agreed. I thought I was the only one who thought 8 was watered down (I didn't play 7)

>>387298443
Yup pretty much. Any skill or any amount of planning is absolutely ruined in 7 or 8. Talk shit about DD all you want but 7&8 is casual trash.

>>387294607
wii was the best though and the only one that supported mods

I just don't get why they threw non mario characters into the mix people like to bitch and whine about the Koopalings getting in but at lease they were actual mario characters.
Don't get me wrong the F-zero maps were great but I genuinely don't understand why they brought in Link and Inklings when characters like Diddy Kong and Funky are much more deserving of roster spots.

>>387299149
>non-stop blue shell bullshit
>bikes are unbalanced as fuck

Worst game imo.

I think 64 is the best. It just feels so fucking good to play. Everything's quick and smooth compared to the clusterfuck that is MK Wii or the sluggishness of DD. I'm not particularly fond of the handheld titles, but I'll give 7 props for making me laugh my ass off endlessly during SNES Rainbow Road.

>>387299529
Mario Kart CTGP Revolution go check it out, really easy to install. Especially the past 2-3 years the custom tracks have started getting so good some of them look like actual Nintendo ones, and they do tons of fun things Nintendo would never do. Racing is always competitive and heated

>>387294493
None of the Mario Kart games are bad. 7 was good though. The controls were tight, no bullshit snaking, my only gripe is them cutting Waluigi in favor of a Mario reskin and a fucking Bumblebee.

I personally think ________8 is the worst. Carts are slippery as fuck and the zero gravity meme only worsens things.

>>387299779

>>387299862
You have to have a unique copy of MKWii, so you can't just load an iso you downloaded from the internet because it would be the same as other people who have downloaded that same iso. They did this to prevent people playing on Dolphin for some reason

DS and 64 are the best ones.
I've been playing lot of mario lart lately and those 2 are the ones I enjoyed the most.
I don't know why DD is so praised, that game isn't even that good.

>>387294493
>>387299787
>no bullshit snaking
I'm convince 90% of the people that think MK7 is terrible, not just dislike it but think it's actually terrible, are fags that thought snaking in MKDS was a good thing. The kind of people that think BXR in Halo 2 added to gameplay instead of ruined it.

>>387294493
DD, DS, and 8D are indisputably the best 3, any decision more narrow than that is purely personal preference of what aspects an individual values more or less in games.

>>387300638
Well I mean it's a legitimate gameplay thing. It's why Smash fags hate brawl for introducing tripping because it serves no purpose other than to make it harder for people with skill.

>>387300845
That's a pretty good list and won't argue with that, although I haven't had the chance to play 8 or 8 deluxe.

>>387300845
>DD, DS, and 8D
Supreme taste

>>387301035
>comparing unintended gameplay shit to tripping in brawl
Like BXR, it's "Learn this unintended trick or you can't play." That isn't raising the skill ceiling, that's reducing the ceiling to one unintended (and thus unbalanced) skill.

>>387301035
The problem with snaking, especially in DS, wasn't the fact that it took skill. It was the opposite. I was like 11 when Mario Kart DS was in its prime and I figured out how to snake on my own. I didn't even know there was a term for it. At least in Double Dash it was a technique that took practice.

>>387301313
Well wavedashing is used in high level smash gameplay. It's the same shit besides unlike that stuff snaking is retardedly easy. You can pretty much figure it out on your own.

MK7 has good racing physics though, and gliding was implemented far better than it has been in MK8. You're able to make pretty big, but not game-breaking shortcuts if you know what you're doing, like in Koopa Cape or Dino Dino Jungle.
Most of the people who dislike it only care about character roster and nothing else.

>>387301406
Wavedashing is also shit and one of the reasons I don't like melee. You're playing a nintendo party game. I feel like those kinds of """techniques""" are latched onto to validate the games as more competitive. There's a reason fighting game fans still laugh at the Melee base.

>>387294493
Finally someone else who hates 7.

>>387295594
because 8 is almost perfect you cuck, DD still has the best battle mode

>>387301657
It's not like I play competitive but I mean come on, why take out things that make it harder to enjoy? There's a reason games like Mario 64 are still played. People enjoy breaking the games apart and finding all the exploits they can. Why try to neuter that, it just comes off as hostile.

>>387301687
You're welcome.

>>387301793
>Why try to neuter that, it just comes off as hostile.
And you come off as posturing at this point.

>>387301865
That's literally how I speak. shit is that how people see me

>>387295035
Nigga they had to reintroduce game modes from DD into Deluxe, Not to mention no balloon battle on launch. Literally the only reason to play it.

I wish MK8D was less item rape. I enjoy the game, but it can get pretty frustrating with how op the items are.

I think the games get better as they go along, except for the huge misstep that was MKWii. That game just feels and looks awful to me. And I might put 64 over DD, cause I really didn't like the double character gimmick

Discussing MK here is like discussing pokemon, people are trying to pass their shit opinion as facts.

Here's what you can't deny : Double dash had item variety, had interesting mechanics and animations ( like the second character falling off the kart after an explosion ), didn't have the braindead "hold button to have the item magically float behind you !".
It was the only game trying to be different. Now I understand if you like eating the same shit everytime haha, you can dislike the 5th gen of pokemon as much as you want because pikachu is not in it and there's a trashbag pokemon.

And people complaining about rubberbanding should die. Why play mario kart outside of online ? Kart racer having rubberbanding is the best thing a game can give you if you're not shit. I wish all my Ps1 kart racers ( CTR, Speed freaks, WDWQMRT ... ) had rubberdanding good enough, when the game doesn't have online it's the only way you can have a challenge

You know, a few months ago I would've agreed with you, but I decided to play DD again and the drifting is just god awful, and also feels as slippery as others had told me before.

>>387304989
>you can dislike the 5th gen of pokemon as much as you want because pikachu is not in it and there's a trashbag pokemon

Yes, because that is the only reason people hate the Unova games, not because it started the further casualization of the recent games when it comes to level design and opponent team building, being the game where power creep became noticeable and the metagame was totally oversaturated with weather teams, or how it took the biggest step towards pushing a poorly executed save the world story on the player that only takes away from the simple, relatable set up of becoming the very best through your own efforts that helped the series originally explode, or how said story completely fails on a fundamental level with the setting provided up to that point in time and only actually becoming understandable with things provided after the fact in future games. All of that is irrelevant.

>>387305416

SHOCK DODGE

how the fuck do you drift in mkwii

does anyone actually know?

>>387305997
I dunno, plenty of people I know liked it. Personally I think it had some good ideas that should've stuck but the awful handling killed it.

>>387305528
Yes this is irrelevant because when you're talking about 5th gen, more than half the posts are about shit designs. Competitive pokemon is a massive joke, rng shouldn't be more than 90% of pvp game mechanic. And the only story that wasn't a choosen one scenario was 1st gen and it's arguable, but all pokemon games have shit stories and that's not arguable.

Don't choose automatic, retard

I may have brought one if it was a simpler design, I imagined like a shadow of funky kong on a road with the shock hitting behind him, it may nit have beeen an accurate represebtation of the game's mechanics, but it would've been better IMO.

DS is the absolute worst one by default because of the infinite turbo exploit. Fastest I've ever dropped a multiplayer game.

>>387307101
This, but people will tell you to get gud because spammy mechanics makes a game good and fun to play.

>>387294493
7 and 8 are the best. DS was the best before these. SMK, 64, SC, and Wii are fucking garbage. DD is decent but overrated by Gamecube kids. The items shenanigans were pretty fun though.

>Everyone cares about stats, it's what gives the game variety
>Looking behind helps a lot in scouting incoming racers/attacks

I personally loved DD when I was a kid, I loved the double item mechanic and being able to switch between them... But holy fuck is it hard to control. Everything just feels so slippery and bouncey. Like, I 100% the game just fine, but shit like DK's Mountain, great track, but I'm bouncing all over the place as I go down the mountain. Just feels wrong.

MKWii was much better, but I'm typing this while I wait for the hitstun to wear off.

I don't really remember Super Circuit, except that child me thought it looked and played like shit.

Child me thought MK64 was pretty decent, but I don't really remember so can't really comment.

Didn't play SMK that much, so can't really comment.

MKDS is a fucking treasure, sad that snaking is gone.

MK7 is honestly pretty forgettable. I mean, it's basically just an MK8 demo, so, can't be all that bad. Definitely not the worst.

MK8 is amazing mechanics wise... but there's basically 7 characters (9 with DLC)

Deluxe is the definitive version though, 16 characters which is decent, kart parts have more variety now, still great gameplay from the original MK8, but now with 2 items (though you cant' switch between them which is probably a fair thing), pink mini boosts, etc., etc. MK8DX is easily the best in the series. It's just so solid.

What was the meta of all the MK games?
SMK:
MKSC :
MK64:
MKDD :
MKDS : Drybones + Tank
MKWII : Funky Kong + Bowser Bike / Daisy + Mach Bike
MK7 :
MK8 :
MK8D :

Double Dash has the best roster and that's all.

>>387307428
MK7 was Metal Mario + B-Dasher + Red Monster

>>387307428
MK8 is roller wheel firehopping mortons

I dunno, because in the majority of the discussions I see about Gen 5, the people calling it bad have legit problems with it, with the designs just being a cherry on top if they even dislike them. Usually when people are talking about the designs being shit, it's either someone who doesn't play the games regularly anyways even though those people have moved on with their lives by this point, or it's solely a discussion about designs in the first place where Unova fans get overprotective and assume someone who doesn't like the designs must be one of the Facebook folk from 2010 who decried the game as the worst thing to happen ever for visual designs alone.

Of course, this is assuming we're talking about legitimate discussion and not just shitposting.

>>387294678
Feel the same

>>387307428
MK8 : Morton + Blue falcon + Slick
MK8D : Morton + Wild wiggler + roller

>>387294493
SMK best for solo, 64 for multiplayer.

Worst is GC.

>>387307428
MKDD : Any lightweight + barrel train

>>387298879
Unronically this. The game is well liked outside of /v/, and still has the biggest community out of all MK games.

>>387307229
>get gud
This is how you know a Mario Kart game has failed

I have particulary good memories of 7 and DS because they were just great social games. Could randomly play with someone on a bus or train. Waiting in a lobby. In middle school (for DS). But 8 is easily the best. Perfect controls, graphics, music, and the most maps even if a lot of the DLC ones are duds. Wish they kept making more retro packs for DLC for Wii U.

The thing about gen 5 is that, while far from being perfect, it's just so much better than everything else. The neighbouring generations - 4 and 6 - are absolutely the worst in the series. 1 through 3 are okay, but each had a mountain of issues. Finally 7 is pretty nice, trying again to do new stuff, but it's still too safe, we'll see how USM fares.
The Pokemon formula is fundamentally flawed, so if you fix one thing, there's bound to be something that gets worse due of said fix. That's why the series has changed so little over the years, not because 'there's no improving perfection', but rather GF is far too incompetent and greedy to properly rebuild it.
