Mario Kart Wii is easily my favourite. First, Rosalina, a character that I loved back then, is added and looks really cool in that bikesuit. Second, it plays way better for me than Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe). Third, the Mii's are fun to play as well, especially because they don't wear helmets. There's more what I love about Mario Kart Wii. It's just amazing. I agree about the dated graphics, but the item balance is what restricts my fun with this game. I always play against easy CPU's in 150 ccm, yet I lost some races because of the blue nuke shell of doom. That was frustrating.

Best roster is Mario Kart DS for R.O.B.. The oddball pick makes it complete. R.O.B. is from another franchise making him exotic, he is the only character from another franchise in the roster of the game making it unique and special instead of worn out, he was the first out-of-franchise character to be included in the roster making it surprising, and he was exclusive to a dead franchise meaning that many people did not recognise him and were as confused when seeing him as tDonkey Kong was in the ending screen. That alongside the fact that he looks and sounds awesome is what made him great. Funky Kong is just a normal character from a Mario Spin-Off, he is cool but he cannot even come close to being is special and amazing as R.O.B.. And of course, after getting to know R.O.B. in MKDs SSBB also included him making him even more well-known. Those were the days, racing with R.O.B. on my handheld and fighting with R.O.B. on my home console.

Yeah this was a great Mario Kart game and still is but I'm one of those people who just got annoyed by Funky Kong. Due to him being the fastest, you'd see him everywhere, and even though I didn't play him myself, I still heard him everywhere all the time and his voice got incredibly annoying to me as a result. Bikes also were immensely annoying because of their wheelie mechanic, meaning you had to either choose the Bowser Bike or Mach Bike or you might as well just not even play if you wanted to stand a chance. Sure sometimes karts could still win but bikes still had an unfair advantage and I didn't like that at all. I do very much prefer how Mario Kart 8 does it for that reason alone. That said I still do love this game, and I haven't even modded it myself. And at the very least it was, sometimes, kind of fun to challenge the barage of Funky Kongs with Yoshi. I did make a lot of 'em eat my dust.

While I'm a fan of Funky Kong, I absolutely agree with this sentiment. Or rather, when there is an obvious "meta" for how to play the game and so everyone does it. There becomes a lot less variety in the racers/karts people play as and people lose their individuality online. For instance, Morton was one of the meta characters in the original MK8 and I ended up *despising* playing against him.

The way Mario Kart Wii handled unlockables kept me engaged for literally months (single player or local multiplayer only!) I bought Mario Kart 8 Deluxe a few weeks ago (when I got a switch) and I haven't even passed 15 hours on it because I've just done everything I can with it, except Mirror and 200 CC, but I don't care anymore because I got bored. I have no IRL friends I can easily play with, can't afford Switch Online, and because you only get kart parts by playing, I already got bored, because I can race with the things I have now. If I had to work to get the characters I would at LEAST keep playing until I would have them all because my brain can't simply leave a question mark there. The removal of the unlocking system made me spend almost full price for a game I am already bored with after like 12 hours. It's really a travesty.

And here we have Mario Kart Wii. I got into this game in summer 2008. After renting it for a bit, I would properly own Mario Kart Wii the following year. To this day, I see it as having the greatest roster in the Mario Kart series. A perfect balance of light, medium, and heavy racers brimming with diversity from the Mario universe. With Diddy and Funky Kong, the DK sub-series got some love too. My favorite player is Dry Bowser. As for the tracks, they are great. As you said, some of the coolest courses originate from Wii. I love Mushroom Gorge, but Coconut Mall, Daisy Circuit, Maple Treeway, and Rainbow Road are fun. I am also a huge fan of the music. Visually, the game isn't the best. Even upon playing it, I felt that the reused shiny models from Double Dash!! were meh in this game. Double Dash!! itself has a better use of color compared to this game, but it's by no means a deal breaker. All in all, I happily see Mario Kart Wii as my third favorite game in this series. It's fun to revisit it now and then.
@OOFUS41033 жыл бұрын
I would disagree with the item balance. Mario Kart Wii is very fair with the power items. Bullet bills, shocks, stars, and blue shells can only be held by one person at a time in a race and have a cooldown when used. In later games such as Mario Kart 8, you can see like five bullet bills coming at you all at once.
