My car got Toad…
I love Mario Kart.
I have done for a long, long time.
I collected lots of coins.
I left a trail of destruction in my wake.
My son joined in.
He blew himself up with his own bob-omb.
My daughter asked me why Peach let Chain Chomps roam through her gardens.
Like I said, it was fun.
I can picture it all now.
For me, Maple Treeway (it first debuted on the Wii) is the greatest track of all.
I love the autumnal piles of leaves that you’re able to skitter through.
I love negotiating a path that avoids the advancing Wigglers.
Why not drop in a hazardous penguin waddling along behind those Wigglers, just because we could?
Ok, that last one maybe isn’t the best idea, but you get the point.
When I played Mario Maker 2 a couple of years ago, I loved discovering the community made levels.
It was a great way to give an ongoing series a fresh lick of paint.
Some of these homebrew levels were fairly straightforward.
A piranha plant here, an ascending vine there.
Others, however, were a law unto themselves.
I can not count the amount of times my poor Mario ended up engulfed in lava.
