The unique Mario Kart isn’t the best sport within the collection, particularly if you happen to weren’t raised on its Mode 7-induced peculiarities, however that’s a relative factor. It’s effective, it’s nonetheless simple to have a look at, it’s simple to play, that’s why they’re nonetheless promoting trillions of copies of Mario Kart video games to today.
However ah, what if you happen to modified a single factor about it. What if you happen to saved all the pieces else the identical however swapped out the highest display screen’s behind-the-driver viewpoint for…a succession of static digicam angles, ala the previous Resident Evil video games.
It appears like this, and it appears like hell.
This was made by SNES (and Mario Kart specifically) hacker MrL314, and my absolute favorite factor about it isn’t the jarring horror of the angles themselves, however the truth that zero concessions have been made to indicate the place the participant is. You simply gotta keep in mind that you’re (on this case) Mario and hope for the most effective (which explains why the AI drivers are so calm about this whereas in each recent lower you possibly can see Mario hilariously sliding round like this was an ice observe).
