Mario Kart or Crash Team Racing?

CTR is a MUCH better game than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe imo.

MK8D is supposed to be the best Mario Kart and sold crazy numbers. And yet a lot of people on multiple popular forums prefer the ancient CTR to it and by extension any kart racer. CTR is simply perfection. Naughty Dog's best game.

Two other seemingly great kart racers that are often brought up in forums are Diddy Kong and Sonic Racing Transformed.

Edit: Mario Kart is the better series and it's not even close. But the original CTR (and maybe Nitro Fueled which I've never played) is easily the best kart racer I ever played. Nitro Kart was crap, couldn't play it for more than a couple of hours. I skipped Crash Tag Team Racing and Nitro Fueled.
