You make some very good points, which I do partially agree with.

However, as great as MK8 is, I'm not sure I'd quite crown it the best in the franchise, myself. Mainly on account of them totally (lazily) phoning in the Battle Mode. I love the rest of the game, for the most part, and you're right about most of what you say about it. BUT, the seriously "I can't believe they'd be that lazy about it" Battle Mode they tacked on, really sucks. IF they had actually bothered to put some effort into it (even if it only had a few arenas, like Block Fort), or had at least handed it off to one of their development partners to do the Battle Mode while they focused on the rest of the game, IF they had bothered to make at least a decent, REAL Battle Mode, that would have put the game over the top from "very good" to "fucking great", to me at least.
