So for me personally mario kart 8 is by far my favorite in the long list of mario karts. The Dlc has made this even better and I love the online I thought mk wii was the worst just my opinion. What are your thoughts and before mk 8 my favorite was super Mario kart. Anyways let me know your opinion AND GO WII U! CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NEW COURSES AND TO BE LINK!

It was my favorite before the DLC. That being said, the Battle mode...

It's also my favorite MK game! It's not perfect ( the balancing is OK-ish and the Battle Mode is not exactly great), but it's still an awesome game and all the upcoming DLC will make it even better!

With the DLC, then yea cause they can add a battlemode DLC in the future

Sure.

I still can't find a favorite MK. MK8 has great driving and great tracks but weapon balance is not that great, the CPU sucks and cheat, plus the battle mode is terrible.
I think Mario Kart DS did everything right except for driving (snaking), my ideal MK would be a mix of MK8 and MKDS. I'll add my ideal MK should have locked 60fps in 3-4 splitscreen.

Definitely my favorite one so far.
I also love DD and 7, but this one a little more!

I should have said "it was my favorite even before the DLC."

I've devised a simple test to check if a Mario Kart game is the best Mario Kart game.

Is it Double Dash? Let's check!

...

Nope it isn't.

Sadly failed the test.

If it had a good battle mode then it'd be everything I could have asked for.
