Players learn very quickly how to race properly and how to get ahead of someone else. You choose a character, choose a cart (and customize it), and choose a track. MarioKart has a very simple racing system that is very easy to learn. If the baseline for Kart racing is MarioKart, we’ll start there. It is here where Crash Team Racing could swoop in for some points. Sure new tracks, new characters and new karts always help, but the core gameplay and racing are more or less the same with every iteration. While each MarioKart is good in its own right, they also run into the problem of being too similar to one another. That being said, Nintendo is also at a slight disadvantage here. With that lofty recognition, it always makes it difficult for newcomers to join in the fray.
The problem for Crash and his friends here is, Nintendo has used the better part of two decades to refine the MarioKart series across multiple consoles, and they have it down to a science they’ve become the gold standard. Obviously, the most important thing in any Kart racing game is the racing itself how it plays, how it handles, and how easy it is to pick up. After playing both, I have decided to compare the two let’s begin! In June, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled was released, and some people think that it just might be a good enough kart racer to challenge Mario. But what about the orange “mascot” of the sony consoles, Crash Bandicoot? Crash had his own trio of racing games at the turn of the century on the Playstation and Playstation 2, but they have not been heard from since, until this summer. Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed released a few years ago to high praise as well, but even they could not dethrone Mario and friends. Diddy Kong Racing on the Nintendo64 was well received at the time and a fan favorite to this day. However, there has been some study challengers in the past. Disney does superhero movies the best with Marvel, Stephen King is the pinnacle of horror novel writing, and in the video game industry, there is one name in kart racing MarioKart. For the past eight iterations, Nintendo has taken everyone else to school when it comes to making a solid kart racer, and the most recent one ( MarioKart 8) just might be the best kart racer ever to grace our screens. However, like all forms of entertainment, some creators seem to do much better than others in a certain area.
