I've done 10,000 hours of research on kart racing games and these 9 games are my conclusion.
blur isn't kart racing
>>337474446
Not OP but it is and also the best one ever made.
You don't have to race literal go-karts for it to be a kart racer.
>kirby airrideFINALLY SOMEONE AGREES
>>337473812
you forgot the legit best one, you fucker.
>>337474446
kart racer = racing game with unrealistic or cartoony mechanics
>>337474603
Wouldn't kart racers be more about items which makes them stand out from standard racers?
Where the FUCK isSonic Riders? The first one only, at least.
I miss CTR, I miss the kind of games that were made back then and not now in general. Times are changin'.
No Snowboard Kids?
You've missed the golden age of ModNation. It was great but its time has long passed, no reason to get it in 2016.
>>337473812
>ModNation Racers
Man that game was my jam, never got to max rank though
The only good thing about Kirby air ride was City trail.
But City Trial was so damn good I'm voting for it.
>>337474603
>You don't have to race literal go-karts for it to be a kart racer.
The literal fucking definition of a kart racing game is racing go-karts.
>>337473812
>Speed Punks
I'VE PLAYED THAT SHIT
SHIT WAS SO GOOD
>Speed Punks
Why do Americans always shit up good names? First Sheep Dog n Wolf, now this
>>337473812
In the EU, Speed Punks was known as Speed Freaks.
The more you know!
>>337473812
Blur was very good.
>>337473812
Where's Star Wars Racer for N64? At least have a top 10.
>>337473812
speed freaks is my favorite kart racer, its objectively better than CTR.
dont know why people prefer ctr over it, maybe people havnt tried speed freaks or are just too blinded by nostalgia
>>337480520
podracing aint kart racing retard
>>337480804
Look up the definition of a Kart Racing Game you absolute nigger.
>>337480804
Oh so blur counts but podracing is verboten?
>>337474763
>Not Heathcliff: Fast and the Furious

>>337480723
The only reason anyone would like CTR at all is nostalgia. Or any Crash game really. They're all pretty shit.
>>337473812
>Sonic Racing Transformed
The first one was way better. More focus on driving, and way better-designed tracks.
Would Beetle Adventure Racer count?
Wave Race?
>>337482539
I would say yes to Beetle, but no to Wave Race.
>>337482539
>Beetle Adventure Racer count
Nintendo Life's review of beetle adventure racer says it has the vibe of a kart racer. So maybe.
>>337483159
OP here, i was considering this game on my list, but it didn't make the cut
>>337483159
>>337483281
yeah its fucking terrible game
>>337473812
whre my pac man rally niggas at?
>>337484791
>games called rally
>its not rally at all
Not technically kart racing but Split/Second was crazy fun.
>>337480723
I had both, Speed Freaks was more harder but didn't felt that satisfying like CTR controls.
>>337473812
I would switch Space Race with Hot-Wheels: Turbo Racing for the ps1 but that's just me. Not sure if you would consider it a kart racer but i fucking enjoyed the hell out of it even to this day.
Sanic Racing's single player is god tier.
>blur
this isn't pod racing
I fucking love everything about modnation racers except the loading times.
The speed and drifting is unparalleled in kart racers. I don't even need to say anything about the creation tools, they are great.
>>337486454
Played the ever loving shit out of that game and its a damn shame nothing has even come close to it and that its also a dead series.
I wish PC got a good kart racer like modnation because it hurts knowing the community is forever dead on console.
>>337480723
CTR had charismatic characters
>>337487171
no it didnt, 10 variations of bandicoot is not charismatic
>>337480723
I seriously doubt it has mechanics on the same level as CTR.
>>337488752
There are only 2 bandicoots in the game you retard.
>>337489452
fuck off nostalgia blinded retard. speed freaks has superior mechanics
>>337489851
Like what?
>>337473812
but mario kart is shit
> ctrl F
> no kart'n crazy
what happened /v/ ?
>>337480723
What made it so good?
Don't forget Lego Racers nigga
The second one was pretty great too
Kirby air ride was my fuckin jam

There's one on steam where you play elders against the death
Blur was fucking great
Modnation racers really wasn't good. Replace it with this >>337479998
