Now that the dust has settled, which one is the better kart racer?

Nu-mario kart is boring with uninteresting handling and shitty random 100% luck based gameplay

CTR for anyone above the age of 8

Crash for single player and time trials

Mario Kart with local and online multiplayer

Both can be enjoyable, CTR has by far the highest skill ceiling.

Mario Kart for 8 and under. CTR for the 8-12 year old crowd. Garfield Kart for the grown ass men.

Sonic for autistic embarassing faggots.

Sonic

Mario Kart is still so much more polished, doesn't have obscene load times, and the online isn't jank as fuck. CTR might have a better boost system but everything surrounding it really brings it down.

that's because ctr was on cd and mario kart on cartridge. still it didn't have obscene load times. i think people generally agree that even diddy kong racing was better than mario kart

CTR isn’t even 60fps

>Mario Kart is still so much more polished

In what way?

Came here to post this.

Mario is easily accessible and way more polished.

Crash is trying it's damnedest to keep people playing with free content but there's a bunch of technical stuff that drags down the entire experience. Still good though.

CTR has better racing mechanics but MK8 is the better game overall

mario = casual
crash = competitive

Based first post

mk8

Literally who?

CTR literally corrupts your save and can also delete your coins

MK doesn't.

The one that isn't running at 30fps.

Remake vs new entry
Yet again, op being a proud fag

Not him but to be fair, that got patched out yesterday.

No it didn't. They said they fixed it but people are still reporting issues.

Oh. Well damn if that's really the case.

Mario is better if you actually care who is in the kart

What about racing with Ryan?

This. CTR and Tranformed are both fundamentally better games then MK8 though. Mario Kart has always been babies first kart game and they only have the strong hold they do because there's barely any games in the genre. The only game that comes close to having any real depth in level design is MK Wii and most of it is unintentional. Not to say that they're bad games but they are so basic and simple by comparison. Sonic Team Racing is a little bit better too but it's an obvious downgrade from Transformed

I'm a huge MKfag, but the only MK that can touch CTR:NF is Double Dash.

Agree, DD was fucking amazing, I still remember playing the shit out of that.

>m-muh 60 FPS!!!
cope nincels

>Cope with having the better game
Do you realize how you sound right now?

.Mario kart wii
It also still has online.

>a bunch of technical stuff that drags down the entire experience
Only on playstation

Mario kart.
Casual or serious it just works.
Ctr fails completely at being played seriously with how awful item distribution is and reserve system breaking any sense of catch up and making basic items have double the effect cos you don't just get hit, you lose reserves.
Races in ctr are decided in the first 10secs by whoever is lucky enough to get the lead. When in the lead, only clocks/orbs can hit you, so you are free to zoom ahead while the pack blows themselves up. Leads to half the lobby getting DNF every race and it's tedious and boring.
I used to complain about blue shells, shocks etc but I fully understand now why they are designed the way they are. Ctr is the most unbalanced and boring racer I ever played cos it's either I make half the lobby DNF or someone else makes half the lobby DNF. There's never any variety cos of how broken the game is fundamentally.

Vid related. After getting hit by 3 orbs I still come 1st cos I had such a massive undeserved lead. This was all because items have such a stupidly strong effect and everyone in the pack had zero chance of catching up since I had lots of reserves. One of the worst games I've ever played online cos of how busted it is.
offline play is fun though since AI doesn't spam orbs won't be installing the game ever again though.

CTR

MK8 easily. I don't look to play a kart racer in order to get a "hardcore" experience.

>I-it’s better because it has more FPS! That totally makes up for the babiest first kart racer difficulty and sheer rng winning races!!!
cope

Git gud

CTR, not even close.

I agree but the solution is to unironically play against better players. My biggest complaint is that some maps need more than 3 laps just from how short they are to play and how long catch up takes

Diddy Kong racer

There's nothing hardcore about CTR unless you're gaming journalist that never plays games. It's literally just muscle memory.

For the pedos.

Ctr isnt a hardcore game, ctr speedrunners are just literal autists. Yea you can go fast as all fuck but the game is fun at a core level, even playing it with kids and family without drifting I have fun

Reminder CTR was on the gamecube too where it was accepted to be a mediocre-ass game below Fzero and Mario Kart.

A new coat of paint doesn't change that.

That wasn't the good ctr

The one that runs at 60fps.
I do like the drifting mechanics in CTR though.

Retard.

My nigs.

American retards deserve death

Mario Kart is basically binary, you're either going at a regular pace or you're going at a mini turbo pace. Therefore the only skill ceiling is how well you can press R at ramps and pathing the insides of corners, and that'll all get fucked as soon as some chump comes past with triple reds or a blue shell
Crash is dynamic, with reserves, up to 3 boosts that can be perfect or non-perfect, scaling boosts for air time and SF/USF there's a bunch of different speeds and an insanely higher skill ceiling when you factor in brushing walls takes you back to the start velocity immediately and without question

Loading times, crashing bugs, the day 1 shitty netplay etc all suck ass for sure and I really hope it gets patched but the core gameplay of Crash is better by a longshot

Crash is better

I say that as someone with 100+ hours in MK8 between Wii U and Deluxe and I first played CTR with Nitro Fueled

Double Dash > CTR/NF > Diddy Kong Racing > MK 64 = MK Wii > MK 8 > MK DS = SNES MK > stinky anime girlfeets > Super Suckit > Konami Krazy Racers > my dick > Mario Kart 7 > seriously FUCK MK7 and all the Metal Mario faggot kiddies who picked Maka Wuhu for the goddamn shortcut > cum on a shitlog > Modnation Racers

Don't (You), @ or PM me.

Best thing about double dash is that you can actually switch between items. MK8D fucked up by not allowing this.
