Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing?

For me, Mario Kart 8 tops everything in gameplay, but the modes are severely lacking. Grand Prix and Time Trials for years on end.
Where are the challenges, boss races, story mode, open world hub, custom tracks, etc?

I thoroughly enjoyed the Crash Team Racing remake, there's just something about going through corners that's more enjoyable with Mario Kart 8.

Besides all that, Diddy Kong Racing is still the undisputed king of kart racers and it's a damn shame they never expanded on this foundation.
