Over 100 hours of Mario Kart World

 

 

If there's a game that made owning a Nintendo Switch 2 worthwhile for me, it was Mario Kart World. I do love the Switch 2, simply because of how much better it makes Switch 1 games, but while I found Donkey Kong Bananza too overwhelming, and Tears of the Kingdom wonderful but still a Switch 1 game running at better settings, it was Mario Kart World that felt like a new experience for a new generation.

The mix of the fully realized recreation of the Mushroom Kingdom as if it had North American road infrastructure, the incredibly high skill ceiling, the high production values, all the easter eggs, and the music and visuals, combines to make a game that I'm really into. It doesn't get old, and it's calming and engaging at the same time. Every time I play, there's something new happening.



For now, I am waiting patiently for DLC. 

Been waiting a long time. 

Long, long time.
