People that say mario kart is a racing game are completely out of they minds its one of the best party games ever but defenetly not a racer

lol, it's like the Smash Bros excuse all over again.  What is it about Nintendo that makes some just incapable of acknowledging their successes?   To the point where they have to throw Nintendo games into their own separate little walled off genres (Smash Bros isn't a fighter, Mario Kart isn't a racer, Zelda isn't an ARPG, Pikmin isn't a RTS, Pokemon isn't an RPG, etc)?

Smash Brothers isnt a fighter

....then what is it?....

OT: the racing genre does seem to be lagging a bit.
