The unique Mario Kart isn’t the best recreation within the collection, particularly should you weren’t raised on its Mode 7-induced peculiarities, however that’s a relative factor. It’s positive, it’s nonetheless simple to take a look at, it’s simple to play, that’s why they’re nonetheless promoting trillions of copies of Mario Kart video games to this present day.
But ah, what should you modified a single factor about it. What should you stored every thing else the identical however swapped out the highest display’s behind-the-driver viewpoint for…a succession of static digicam angles, ala the outdated Resident Evil video games.
It appears to be like like this, and it appears to be like like hell.
This was made by SNES (and Mario Kart specifically) hacker MrL314, and my absolute favorite factor about it isn’t the jarring horror of the angles themselves, however the truth that zero concessions have been made to point out the place the participant is. You simply gotta keep in mind that you’re (on this case) Mario and hope for the most effective (which explains why the AI drivers are so calm about this whereas in each contemporary minimize you possibly can see Mario hilariously sliding round like this was an ice observe).
