Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe are games that I played a lot throughout my life until. The same is true to Crash Team Racing. I still play all of them this day, except for Mario Kart Wii. That being said, I think Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is better than CTR only because it has more courses, itens, character roster. Both MK8 and CTR have awsome mechanincs but CTR's is a little bit more satisfying to master. I don't know how to explain it.
In the end, what I have to say is that CTR is 25 years old and despite that, it is still a game that I can say is on pair with modern Mario Kart. As for the Mario Kart franchise, I'd say that it only reached a point where it was on pair with CTR in the Mario Kart Wii installment. CTR deserves the praise it receives
And lastly, for some reason I felt bored playing CTR's remake. Played twice or three times and never touched it again
Edit: I also played Mario Kart DS and Mario Kart 7 but I didn't want to compare them to a home console game like CTR
