Graphically, there is no competition as this is the only game that outputs high-def graphics and it obliterates the rest, naturally. I think that this game is a great candidate for the second best game in the series, which is still a pretty good ranking considering the other games, but I feel that Mario Kart: Double Dash!! had a few more nuances, like character specific items, that make it a more strategic game compared to MK8. There isn’t a lot of incentive to get all of the kart parts outside of just the achievement that you’ve unlocked all of them, and most players will probably simply choose a heavy character."
Mario Kart is one of the only games I miss from my big N days. I must confess I'm a little jealous.
Justin Ludwig? THE Justin Ludwig von Koopa?!
I'm a big fan of Double Dash on the GC, but MK8 just may take the cake as the best Mario Kart game of all-time.
