Good video. I fully agree. Crash is much more non-casual compared to Mario Kart. It offers more challenge and feels more rewarding. The sliding also feels perfect.

And next year everyone gets to play the best kart racing game ever made.

If it lacks the ability to play casually then it most certainly doesn’t beat Mario Kart at its own game. The major appeal of Mario Kart is the ability to pick it up and play with friends/co-workers during breaks and lunch hours. A game that isn’t very good for casual play would fail at that.
