I personally start to like the bikes more and more, but Karts are still my favorite. But in order to beat the times of some VGChartz members I had to switch to bikes, they're just so much faster. It's a bit sad that they aren't more equal, so you really have a choice. For Time Trial you have to use a bike.
In multiplayer it's not that big-a-deal by the way. I'm sure Rol would own anyone in a kart as well. |
Some of the better staff ghosts in the game use a kart and I still haven't beat all of them, like on Rainbow Road. In total there are still 6 staff ghosts left that I have yet to beat. But yes, using a bike didn't feel that good at first, but after some time you get used to it and you don't want to go back to a kart. |
So why use a kart if you have a bike? |
For fun? For a challenge? Because you and your friends agreed to a karts-only tournament? And why do you always quote me? Shoo shoo, go away. Seriously, I don't understand what's so bad about it. Driving with a bike is fun. I guess it's just one of these cases where Nintendo can't win: Stay close to the core formula = getting accused of rehashing, change a few things while the core formula still stays intact = too many changes, the game should be like the old ones. |
How about deviate from core formula while keeping things balanced? This is Nintendo we're talking about. It's not as if they don't have the budget to spend on polishing a game to perfection these days. Doubly so when considering that Mario Kart is a well-known and liked franchise.
