GamesRadar - Kart racers endure as one of gaming's purest, most enjoyable genres. As developers continue to push the envelope with convoluted plotlines and complex mechanics, kart racers remain focused on one thing: fun. They're the sort of game your parents, siblings, and best friends can sit down and play together, and everyone will have a good time.
While the genre may currently be an oversaturated one, it’s interesting to look back on how the Donkey Kong franchise even got a racer to begin with, and what stopped Nintendo from ever releasing more entries.
Man, this would be the perfect title to bring next to the Nintendo 64 lineup on Nintendo Switch Online. This game was so good back in the day.
This was better than Mario Kart 64 but far for me. I loved the different vehicles and adventure aspect.
Absolutely loved DKR. Mario Kart, as much as I love it, has yet to really capture the magic of DKR. Better in some ways, worse in others.
With Activision's Crash Team Rumble's launch coming this year, it might be good to look at older games for inspiration like Crash Team Racing.
Diddy Kong Racing, a Nintendo 64 title turns 25. Here to indulge in nostalgia and remember some of the title's amazing features.
I was downright addicted to this game when I was younger. Even among the countless classics the N64 spawned. This is near the top of my list, for favorites. I just love the hub world mechanic, where you have to unlock collectables to open up new areas. Something so satisfying about that...
Freaking amazing game. I'm not into these games anymore but this is one I'd play again. Also Fzero and I can't remember the name but this car shooting games of pure destruction.
Definitely Crash Team Racing (CTR) for me
CTR is the best, still playing it with friends!
CTR is number 1 for me. It felt more fluid and had better,tighter controls than mario kart
i was really impressed with sonic all stars racing transformed. I played the original mariokart to death but i find that it hasn't evolved at all, easily the most overrated nintendo franchise.
