This article pretty much explain why I was a huge fan of Double Dash even thought with the new tech, Mario Kart 8 plays better. I believe one of those changes should be a track editor as a DLC mode. Mario Kart 8 is one hell of a game and probably one of the most balance Mario Karts out there, but I do hope they change things up with added DLC.

PS: I hope they bring back the Double Dash feature in Mario Kart 8 as a separate mode. :)

I hated having two people on my Kart in Double dash. Haters gonna hate.

Anybody that doesn't credit DD!! as the best entry in the series needs to take a good long look at themselves.

I'm guessing your favorite was 64?

Which is why I feel it should be an option. Single kart racing and tag team kart racing. Its always nice to have option.

I'd be very down with that. I'd even be down with both of them being in the same race, if they where balanced.

I got your back, NP! Double Dash is an amazing, addictive game. One of my personal favorites :)

@OP: I agree with the spirit of the article, although the final section on battle mode could have been edited out. It's just not a very fun mode, and it being different doesn't change or mitigate that fact. Still, I concur that frequent retooling is good for an evergreen franchise like Mario Kart. It's especially true for 8, which feels rebuilt from the ground up. It might share some similarities with Wii and 7, but it plays like something brand new.

I think that's part of Nintendo's magic. It might not create a lot of new IPs, but it does create brand new experiences within existing IPs. Mario Kart 8 is a perfect example of that.

I liked Mario Kart on SNES and then on the Wii and then Wii U

All the rest I tried but didn't get into... so were not for me. Not the right time, not the right mood, not the right feel... whatever
