But on a more serious note: I really like it. Just cruising around, maybe tackle some challenges on the way, unlock characters/outfits, discover neat easter eggs. Also without it, there wouldn't be K.O. Tour possible and the new (and cool) form of Grand Prix.
So, despite my beliefs how stupid it is to rank games years and decades apart and mixing 3D games and 2D games (they feel completely different), I decided to give my own ranking. I barely played "Mario Kart Tour" and "Mario Kart Super Curcuit" and I never played "Mario Kart Live", so it's onky a Top 5.
1. Mario Kart World
2. Mario Kart Double Dash
3. Mario Kart Wii
4. Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe)
5. Super Mario Kart
I wonder how Switch 2 Welcome Tour could possibly be #1 respectively #2 in the charts? Isn't that quite impossible? Didn't important social media no-names told me, no one will buy this and this definitely should've been pre-installed with every console? 🤷♂️
Sony will need to go Nintendo's way with Playstation 6, from a point of not solely relying on pure hardware power, but a good mix of hardware power and software (ai) upscaling. I mean, PS5 Pro does cost around 800€ without a disc drive, so what would a possible PS6 cost in the next 2 or 4 years? Over a 1000€?

I will mostly map them to the L- and R-buttons. Pressing those buttons forces me to change my grip or awkwardly have to bend and stretch my fingers, so mapping those to GL and GR will fix that.
@Jeronan I drove around an hour in free roam and I didn't found a single blue coin challenge. Instead I found a challenge where need to drive through a bunch of cows, a challenge where you need to avoid different obstacles, a challenge where you need to fly to a goal post, and so on ... I also catched Nabbit and collected two Peach coins and I "targeted" Charging Chuck. 🤷♂️
I don't know if I need to "complete" this. 🤷♂️ By the way: If you want to "complete" Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, you'll also need to buy an additional camera.
I can get my Switch 2 on tuesday or Wednesday. 🥳🥳🥳 I know, I can't play any games until thursday, but I can hold it in my hands, feel it, remove and attach the Joy-Con a few dozen times. I also can spin the control stick of the Pro Controller around, to feel the allegedly smoothness of it. 🥰
@Anti-Matter If you still have old Gamecube games at home and the possibility to play them, why would you need to use NSO Gamecube games? 🤷♂️ I, on another hand, don't have a Gamecube since ages, I don't necessarily NEED to play the games, but if I can play them for "free" with an original Gamecube controller... Why not?
@Toastmaster I wonder what you and the folks here would have said, if Nintendo came with a statement like:"We know, you are eagerly waiting for the next chapter in the Metroid Prime series, but unfortunately the game is not good enough, so we canceled it. We could certainly give our best to try to make it better, but why even bother? Maybe next time." 🤔
@Anti-Matter You DO know, if they already are selling the game, development is finished and they can't really stop it midway anymore? Because the game is done? And already selling?

Re: Best Mario Kart Games Of All Time
Many of Mario Kart 8 (Deluxe) tracks were kinda boring and driving itself was too "clean", so personally I wouldn't give it the 1st place.

I'm not sure if it makes sense from a money perspective, buying a PS5 to play the games you mentioned.

Re: Mario Kart World's Rewind Feature Is Being Used To Set Crazy Time Trial Lap Records
What's a record for a single lap worth? I assume close to nothing. 🤔 So I don't get the point of this.
