After finishing Mario Kart Double dash, I decided to try Mario Kart DS as I never played that one.
I’m guessing that it had to do with the hardware, but the karts felt slow, so I moved on to Mario Kart 8.
I have to admit that this version of the game looks the best and the kart movement feels the best.
It’s such an improvement over Double Dash that I think I do in fact like it better. Especially at 200cc.
If you are not snaking/drifting or playing the pretty good single player modes of MKDS I think you would not have much fun with it… Unless you explore Wimmfi.
