It always seemed like a kiddie game that’s not meant to be taken seriously, but apparently a bunch of people in their 20s and 30s take it very seriously.

Why? Isn’t it pretty much random and unfair by design?

Do people really get hours of fun out of losing races due to catch-up mechanics?

    If it’s random and unfair, why do I consistently win more than others I play with?

    Many good games have some luck, some skill, and some strategy. Mario Kart has all of these. Strategy in how and when to use your items, skill to drive/drift/etc, and luck in which items you get. It strikes a really good balance of this, which results in me, someone who’s an above average player, winning most of the time, but keeping it fun for those who aren’t as skilled, like my parents, where sometimes they can get one over me due to some luck, strategy, or a mistake on my part.

    Finally, let people live their lives, and maybe git gud. It kinda sounds like you just suck, and are salty about it.

      God forbid anyone be critical of a thing you like, lol.

      Why do so many of you throw tantrums over this? Grow up. It’s just a game.

      I’m also going to ignore you now. Bye.
