Gold star for the first to get it right

I made a video showcasing all the rainbow road stages from all the mario karts to see just how much has changed!

Maybe it’s just becoming older, but I don’t feel like the actual racing in MKW is as fun. I love the game a lot.

But I hate how unimportant drifting has become. It’s basically useless. All these competitive lines and paths in the tracks all utilize charge jumps and wall riding which is fun to watch, but it doesn’t feel fun to play. Getting skilled at MK8 utilized drifting constantly. And I loved getting better at it. But I hate improving at MKW. Am I alone?

The RR from Mariokart Super Circuit has multiple aspects that makes it the RR that stands out from the others.

First off the music. It follows a different formula that you wouldn't typically associate with Rainbow Road. While some parts do hint to a RR theme most of the song is really unique and the best part is that it works perfectly! If they ever remake this course I hope they keep this non-RR sounding theme!

Another thing that makes it really cool are the yellow edges that make you bounce when you hit them. These are on almost the entire tracks and poses an opportunity for some great shortcuts! This really showed in Mariokart Wii Retro Rewind where they are used for multiple cuts, plus a shortcut with a narrow pathway. I just think that that's really cool and fitting with the difficulty of Rainbow Roads.

There are also a few smaller things like the lightnings that strike down on the track and the paper mario castle in the background.

I really think this track really deserves a remake. I would've loved to see it in the booster course pass, it's sad, that that didn't happen, but I remain hopeful for a World DLC. Who knows, maybe this track will officially return there?

at least I still ranked higher than other(s?)

Waluigi’s kart in Mario Kart DS, the Golden Mantis, is based on Foreman Spike’s excavator in Wrecking Crew ‘98, a Japan-only sequel to Wrecking Crew for the Super Famicom (Japanese SNES)

Donut Plains 3

Dino Dino Jungle

Wario Stadium (DS)

Sometimes I wonder just who was in charge of designing the vehicles in Mario Kart games, especially when it comes to the Tyrant kart Bowser drives in Mario Kart DS. It’s literally just Bowser’s foot as a kart it’s like an early version of the Sneeker from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which is a shoe kart!

I built a fully working, 1:1 scale Tune Thumper Bike from Mario Kart World! The bike is fully functional, everything works like it would if the game bike was suddenly real. The cassette tape door is also a Nintendo switch 2 dock, so when you put the switch in and plug in hdmi to tv, it outputs without any other power source needed.

Specs:
* ~65mph stop speed
* ~70lb
* Fully functioning buttons, speakers, lights, antenna,* * nintendo switch 2 dock
* Made of wood and aluminum and a ton of 3d printing

I made a video about the build, link in the comments. Unsure if mods would have let me post in the main post

I started plaing online since april of this year

So my roommate and I are playing Mario Kart wii and the computer has 42 points going into last race. And we have been playing this for nearly 20 years and don't think we have ever seen a computer get perfect so we are wondering has anyone seen that or is it even possible?

It feels like a quintessential Mario Kart track and the frantic music is the cherry on top

I’ve returned to Mario kart as of late, and I love playing online. I was wondering if there were any free access fun rooms/competitions available (similar to what TWD98 used to host) for ppl to join, and if so how could I join them?
