Because it doesn't work for Mario Kart... Which is why I don't like it as much. Snaking is a tactic that wasn't an original intent. Rewarding you for choosing to drift a corner, doing a jump or fliping your vehicle is entirely different than snaking. Hell snaking doesn't have any advantage in those either. 
Mario Kart isn't the same game as those, they work with different mechanics. Look up some videos and see if Sonic Transformed or CTR is bad because of those. 

Also doing antigravity better than another game doesn't give the right to act like you're the first to do it. Which everyone acted like. How well it's done isn't relevant. Mario can mimic anything and it's fine Sonic Transformed was attacked for Copying MK7 lmao and it wasn't even close, it actually could be said it was copying DKR though but ppl didn't really, but MK8 does something exactly like in another game it got a pass lol. My point.


Who is this person that claimed Mario Kart 8 did antigrav first? I have never heard a single person claim that. It's not even the first Nintendo racer with antigrave.

As for snaking, I'm one of the few that actually liked the snaking in MKDS. It was an issue on levels that were wide open tracks where you could snake all the way through like baby park.

Snaking damaged the game only because it was hell in a handful of tracks. It was fine snaking a little bit in the wide parts of Delfino square before skiding skillfully through the narrow coriddors. That was fun and worked.

That's how Nintendoo and all the fanboys acted. You gotta look for articles all over. Cool that snaking was fun for you though, makes me think. If people use it to beat you, do it back lol. Snaking race would be fun haha

I think mario kart 8 is better overall but sonic transformed does beat it in some area's like having a campaign (world tour), mario kart 8 doesn't have one.

Shit this just reminded me that we might actually see a next gen kart racer on PS4/X1.

I hope they try for more inventive karts this time round.

I think sonic single player is better.
there is lots of game modes, thats why i miss on MK8.

No and making statements like that without backing it up is reasonably pointless. If you make the claim then the onus is on you to prove it. 

Personally all I heard on the websites that i regularly visit  was that it was considered a neat addition, a first for Mario Kart and that it opened up new track design opportunities, for the series. Furthermore it would make little sense for Nintendo fanboys to claim Mario Kart 8 did it first when it was done in another Nintendo franchise 24 years ago, and that still wasn't the first.

I actually bought Sonic Transformed at Wii U launch for £29.99, For me it has given me hours of fun, and the five player mode is cool. The Transformations and Track changes make Sonic a very different game to MK8, But both games have their strong points and their weak.

The flying sections in Sonic are brilliant as are the water sections . where i am not as keen on the MK8 hover sections as i am the water sections in Sonic. I have not completed all of the cups in MK8 yet to see how fast the 200cC MODE IS . But will have shortly.

The speed in Sonic is a plus for me.

But how many of us Wi U owners purchased F1 Race Stars on eshop. I got mine in the sale for under a tenner. It has all the dlc but is lacking the online. But it does have the Mii mode . I think Race Stars is very fast and graphically very pleasant especially the Rain. And a good companion to the other two games mentioned here.

Needed an excuse to post this. On the speed debate:

Not sure if it's as fast as Transformed, but if it isn't, it's damn close.

So unless you're going to do the research your opinion is irrelevant. You wanna question what I've seen all over, so I tell you go and look back at older articles all over and all of a suddden I have no proof? No if you wanna question my experience, do the work to try and understand it, it's not hard. Showing you one article isn't relevant because this was a series of events over months, so go do the work and find it. I just told you basically it's easy to find. Don't be a big baby, and first all, you clearly don't even understand what I'm talking about. No ones talking F-Zero, WipEout or anything. Kart racers and any game similar, as in the genre containing MK, CTR, CNK, SR, PMWR, MNR, DKR etc. People aren't worrying about F-Zero when they think Mario Kart...

LMAO, I don't know if it's as fast as Transformed, but it's sure as hell harder to control. I think Transformed would be faster at highest difficulty. Just Mario Kart wasn't originally made for that speed so it seems too crazy lol

serious question? sonic racing is meh felt slow running at 30 fps.
