Lots of people look at their favorite past games and nostalgia takes over, "this game was the best!" they think. My brother is the same way with Halo 2 and Halo 3, they were amazing games, but most of the gaming community has moved onto bigger, better things. Those games are now in a fast-paced, action driven era where they just can't survive. I look at Double Dash, and I have had a few people now say to me that it was the best entry in the series. ABSOLUTELY not true. MK8 is better in every way, and even Mario Kart DS, and Mario Kart 7 kick its butt. Mario Kart Wii was sort of a disappointment being the only entry on the system, but holy crap, how can you say that Double Dash is better than 8? The double component made it feel clunky, having two characters on one kart was like driving with a chain chomp dragging off your back end. It made the control much less precise, it made the in and out turning very difficult on some tracks, and it just felt slower. The tracks were great, the gameplay, not nearly as much fun. Especially the pushing function, it just got annoying in a lot of cases. Mario Kart 8 has snappy gameplay, punchy music, decent (not perfect) item selection, and online play, which is a HUGE advancement that adds more challenge and fun to the game than many may think. Gamecube had one of the greatest selections of games EVER, but Double Dash in my opinion was not exactly one of them. Also, I like being able to JUMP slide, not just slide, so that was annoying. That is all.
