It wasn't the best, because the races were slower than other racing games. However, there was absolutely nothing wrong with the mechanics of having 2 players on 1 cart. Anyone who couldn't handle the strategy of being able to swap out 2 unique characters, is just not fit to be a hardcore gamer.
Mkds was my favorite too. And I never really loved mk before that one...(it was okay, just not my thing. Making a game portable is the best way to catch my interest^_^;)
Mk7 for the 3ds is a really fun game, but it lacks the bonus missions of mkds. And freeplay racing against bots(unless I'm missing something, single player racing is TT or GP only.) And while vs balloon battle is still a blast, the fact that there is no KO option is a downer.(matches are timed only in order to keep everyone playing, with the player/ team with the highest score wins. When you lose all balloons, you respawn an lose a few points.)
But unlike mkds, local single card play races can be played on any track. So that's a positive.
Wii version was the worst imo. Way to unpredictable. You could be in first 20 feet from the finish line, then finish last due to things you couldn't even avoid.
if we're talking local multiplayer, there is a rules option in the VS that let you put in strategic mode that make the super powerful items way more rare (in 20 races i never saw one bullet bill, lightning, starman or blue shell) it's way more fun.
Double Dash is really good. There are a lot of multiplayer elements in that game that are just awesome. Most people who say the game sucks didn't experience the 8 player co-op lan play. And if you read the article it clearly states that there needs to be multiple elements from a wide variety of Mario Kart games.
I would not mind having that as a feature. Like you can play the entire single player just by yourself, or a different mode with the double kart thing.
I just want the feather item brought back.....they should make that the only item that can stop a Blue Shell !!! The Double Dash (2 players, 1 kart) should be an option in a new game, but not base a total game off it. Have Double Dash stages and single kart stages.
