I am in absolute shock. Over 10k views so fast. It would seem that the algorithm has selected me this time. Thank you guys so so much for watching this video and for the positivity and feedback! Thank you a TON if you decide to subscribe, it really does mean so much to me. I’m cooking up more stuff to come in the near future, and I’m gonna work hard to make the absolute best and most fun videos that I possibly can!! (Also we should petition Nintendo to make Wario faster to select).

"Super Mario Kart is a classic masterpiece" I've seen enough of this game in action to know that is absolutely not the case. It was impressive for its time, sure, but every single subsequent game in the series outshines it in every way. It's like saying Super Mario Bros on the NES is the peak of the series; you're not just wearing rose-tinted glasses at that point, you're just putting on a blindfold.

And strangely enough people actually see Super Mario Bros on the NES as one of the best Super Mario games (better than Super Mario Bros 2 (USA), the Super Mario Land series, Super Mario Bros Deluxe, Super Mario Sunshine, the New Super Mario Bros series, Super Mario 3D Land, Super Mario Maker, Super Mario Run, Bowser's Fury and probably more and I gotta say this is ridiculous of the first game's flaws: 1. The controls are incredibly dated 2. The graphics look dull 3. The lack of music 4. Some of the levels are pretty bad 5. The game doesn't have a save system 6. All the 8 bosses are nearly identical But the game can still be enjoyable even though the majority of the Super Mario games are much better than this

If WarioWare characters ever joined Mario Kart Game Dude's reaction: Why are all these characters from another series here instead of Waluigi, they resemble nothing like Wario! Also what's the point of picking Ashley, Mona, Penny, Lulu, Kat, Ana, 5-Volt or 13-Amp when you can just pick Peach because she's the only female character that matters, Also why are all these DK characters here like Diddy, Dixie, Cranky, and Funky here when they're not even real Mario Characters!

the funniest part of the whole "super mario bros. 2 isn't actually a mario game because doki doki panic!" is that it isn't even true. doki doki panic started development as a mario game, and only became what we know as doki doki panic later on because of a deal with the japanese tv station fuji television (and then when lost levels wasn't released abroad, doki doki panic was turned back into a mario game as what we know as super mario bros. 2). if you ever need to "erm actually" anyone saying super mario bros. 2 isn't a mario game, just remember that it actually was the whole way through! also as someone whose first mario kart game was mario kart wii, the segment where he talked about "this is what mario kart should be" indeed looked extremely boring. there's a reason n64 sherbet land is the worst track in all of mario kart wii...

Gamedude be like: "what's this? Mario kart wii has more characters that mario kart 64 What were they thinking?" There's a reason why they add more characters in Mario kart. It's to add much more variety instead of just having the same three characters each time. But that's just my own reasoning It also by the way I see your content get more and more better each time.

So obviously Game Dude's review is awful, and I want to defend it as little as possible despite actually agreeing that Double Dash and Wii are the two weakest games in the series. Not to say I dislike both of them (I only dislike Double Dash, Wii is still a fun time) or that Game Dude's overall reasoning for hating on them is good (again the review is awful), but there is ONE point he raises that I kind of agree with: The way you can't do a Rainbow Road jump. Not so much that specific example, but the design philosophy behind it. Mario Kart 64 and Super Circuit are my two favorite games in the series, and a big part of the reason why is because of how much freedom their physics give you. In 64, you can pull off some pretty crazy maneuvers like the aforementioned Rainbow Road skip, but Super Circuit takes it to the next level. If you have a boost going off of a ramp in that game, you can fly pretty much anywhere you want, it feels SO good. Look at any speedrun of SC Rainbow Road, it's wild! But the thing with Super Circuit is that all of this was intended, on Lakeside Park they even put one tiny jump panel out of bounds so that you could fly off into it and skip a big part of the track. Super Circuit was an amazing game because they expanded on the cool things you could do in 64 like the Rainbow Road skip and intended for you to do it in every instance, Mario Kart was going crazy places. And then one game later the design philosophy was the exact opposite. In Double Dash, your kart is weighed to the ground and your freedom of movement is heavily impacted by that. Going off a ramp in Double Dash actually makes you SLOWER than if you had just stayed on the ground, and any shortcuts you could potentially take are strictly developer intended and strictly "use a mushroom to make this very easy jump". This just strips away so much of the fun of the series and no other game in the series, before or after, has made the decision to have jumps be a detriment rather than a benefit, which is the biggest reason why this is the only game in the series I dislike. But while the weightiness went away with future entries, the choice to restrict the player's freedom was still there. DS actually did restore some of the freedom of movement that let you do some cool stuff, even if it still was more restrictive than 64 and Super Circuit, but pretty much everything after that has been more and more restrictive. So when I see a clip like that, of Wii's Rainbow Road, and I see that "Logically you should be able to jump there but Lakitu just decides you can't go off the track for any reason", I think it's pretty disappointing. While I do consider Mario Kart 8 to be a great game (it fixes a LOT of unrelated issues I had with prior games as well), it is the culmination of this "Play the game this specific way and don't ever try to break the rules" philosophy that's plagued Mario Kart since Double Dash. I was playing the Yoshi's Island track and there's a hang-glider section near the end. The goal is to the right of this section, just over a short barrier that your karts can't cross on the ground. So I figure "What if I try flying over that? That'd be a cool shortcut!" and I attempt it, which results in Lakitu picking me up and putting me back on the track the moment I start to go over the barrier. In Mario Kart 8, you are ALWAYS driving in a tunnel. Sure, the game creates the illusion that you're not driving in a tunnel by making the areas LOOK open, but the moment you start to go outside of this tunnel, Lakitu is there to say "Tut tut, you aren't playing the game the exact way we want you to, get back on the track you helpless child!" I highly doubt Game Dude put as much thought as this into his critique of these Mario Kart games, especially since he seems to dislike Super Circuit as well. But I do think it's a valid reason to dislike this aspect of the games, as Nintendo has more or less banished the concept of cool skips that come from the mastery of the game's physics.

A very fair and thoughtful assessment! I guess it really just depends on what you personally value most in Mario Kart.
