I want to make some sort of extremely volatile statement about this, but I know I'll probably get banned from the site for it, so I'll leave it at this:
The DS having both Mario Kart DS and Sonic and SEGA All-Stars Racing makes it arguably one of the best consoles out there for kart racerseven if most of this is due to my own nostalgia
No DLC, no micropurchases. All of the content is unlockable in game, both games are stuffed with content including not only unique tracks and racers, but lots of side/single-player content like missions - both having unique and interesting missions of their own, be it the experimental mission types in SASASR or the bosses in MKDS - and all of them having plenty of replayability, tight and responsive controls, and genuinely not terrible visuals considering the limitations of the hardware.
Not to sound too nostalgic but I kind of miss when games were like that y'know? You just... buy the game and it's packed with content. You'd never see something random like R.O.B. being a hidden character in Mario Kart now, it'd be publicised and everything. Perhaps I merely wish for a simpler time...
Also I think an Indie Kart would be a fun game to see this is like a completely unrelated musing okay bye
