My favourite has got be Mario Kart Wii, it’s still got a community and I’d say it is the Melee of Mario kart.

Plenty of good tracks, roster and bopping music.

What about you? What is your favourite Mario kart? I know Double Dash has a soft spot in some people’s hearts.

Mario Kart DS

I did play a lot of 64 and Double Dash back in the day but DS is by far my favourite.

64

This is the correct answer.

8 Deluxe Solo, Wii with Friends

I grew up on Double Dash, but MK8D offers so much choice and variety that nothing else comes close - at least for pick-up-and-play casual games.

Mechanically I like 64. I'd like a few more tracks, particularly for the battle mode. The later versions add far too much cruft for my tastes.

8 (DX but really my favorite parts of it were already on Wii U). 8’s tracks are incredible (not the booster packs one, those are a mixed bag and none really reach base game/Wii U dlc level).

Wii comes very close though. It’s the first to have good item balance IMO, it gets rid of the left-right bullshit to drift, and circuits are quite fun too. And some bikes are a blast, though to the point of being overpowered.

I just think of 8 as “we took everything good in Wii and made it a bit better”.

64 for nostalgia, 8dx for map selection/visuals/characters

I grew up on 64, but 8 Deluxe is incredible. Great variety of courses and karts, great mechanics.

Totally agree. The one I play nowadays is 8D, but I’ll never forget Moo Moo Farm and it’s catchy tune on the N64.

Isn’t Moo Moo Farm playable on Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?

Sabin10@lemmy.world on 09 Mar 20:31 next collapse

My brain says 8dx, wii and DD are all good enough that I don’t think I could pick between them. My heart says OG is the GOAT because it’s what I played the most and I still think it has the best battle mode.

MK8D would be perfect if only battle mode wasn’t such a mess. If they could just take MK64 battle mode and implement it exactly as is in MK8D, it would be perfection.

64 was the last decent battle mode, imo. I don’t know why they removed levels big enough to hide in.

DD is responsible for Baby Park, and the amount of mayhem that has gone down on that track is ridiculous.

Gotta be Wii for me for the reasons you suggested. Great atmosphere and level design

But something about playing long, grinding balloon battles on DS with 7 other people on the school bus will always stick with me

tomkatt@lemmy.world on 10 Mar 15:59 next collapse

MK7 has been my favorite, especially with the CTGP-7 mod.

Snowpix@lemmy.ca on 10 Mar 17:29 collapse

Wii. The driving always felt perfect in that game, the other games don’t control as well in my opinion. 8 Deluxe feels like a letdown with its lack of unlockable characters and karts which I felt was one of the most fun parts about Wii.
