30 years of blue shell madness! What are some of your favorite games, items, or whatever else from this series?
I never played MK7, but do play MK8 and your right the item spawns are less reliable and does rely more on your driving skills.I like Mario Kart 7 because of its accessibility and proper balance, especially with respectable item spawns. But I'd be willing to give MK8 the medal because it's everything 7 has but less reliable item spawns and is more about your skill as a driver.
I think it has to do with the fact not every track was designed to have a giant player. Especially hard to use the camera in the zero gravity setting without being unnerved. And a lot of people would complain that it hits way too many players at once when all that really matters is higher speed from behind or slowing the leader down.Fave item? I remember the Mega Mushroom being one of these. The fact they never gave players to race around the tracks as a giant temporarily in Mario Kart 8 or the Deluxe version is beyond me.
I've had a massive amount of fun with every game in the series, such an incredible set of games. Mario Kart 64 was played constantly when i was younger!
In my days it was either this or diddy kong racing that kept us up past midnight.
Mario Kart: Double Dash (for the GameCube) was my favorite of all the Mario Kart's so far.
Funny enough I was terrible at it as a kid because I was playing as if the drift controls were like MK7 before it came out, instead of moving the stick left and right for sparks.I never did play this, seem like a fun version.
I've heard Diddy Kong Racing was really hard or at least the final boss was.Diddy Kong Racing is fun but i could never get on with it as much as Mario Kart. I'm not a massive fan of Racing games having a hub, i just want to select a course!
Now I miss the old DS days of MK because they had boss battles too.Yeah Diddy Kong probably had more of a challenge than Mario Kart did, especially the boss battles.

I don't think I ever played Diddy Kong with my mates, we always played Mario Kart. Probably a missed opportunity!
