Mario Kart

When it comes to kart racers, the bar is sky-high. Games like Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing have set the standard for what makes this genre so addictive: colorful tracks, chaotic power-ups, and that sweet mix of skill and luck that keeps you coming back for “just one more race.” Hot Rod Mayhem rolls onto the PS5 promising all of that and more. After spending plenty of time behind the wheel, I can say this: it’s a good time,…

The Mario Kart World Direct aired today, April 17th, 2025. Check it out below and then come back our thoughts on what was shown. The Mario Kart World Direct spent a lot of time recapping information we already knew and then did reveal some modes, like Time Trials and Battle Mode. We saw that the world is pretty huge and there are some missions to find in Free Roam. There was even a surprise during the Game Chat bit where…

Nickelodeon, a major part of most people’s childhoods of a certain generation. Myself, I was a bit older but still enjoyed some of the original Nicktoons like Doug, Rocko’s Modern Life, Ren + Stimpy, etc etc. Over the years they have done numerous mash-up games such as Nicktoons Unite (which was awesome), Sports games, racing games, and yes even racing sequels like this one. Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2 is just what you think it is, a typical kart racer-inspired heavily…

Earlier this year, when we unboxed and reviewed our Nintendo Switch, we also looked at a pile of accessories from Performance Design Products. One of our favourite items - outside the Elite Player Backpack which is phenomenal! - was the Nintendo Switch carrying case, which at the time was themed in multiple ways: The Legend of Zelda, generic Mario, and a charcoal gray, classy looking case. PDP is adding another theme to their lineup of cases: Mario Kart!

In appears that in return, Mario is making an appearance in the latest Japanese Mercedes commercials.

It has been a long wait. It seems like years since we received our first screens, months since that detailed, energetic Nintendo Direct... Now, it will only be a little over a week before we can all play it. It's almost Mario Kart time, and it just cannot seem to come fast enough. I had zero desire to sit down and write this up. I don't want to tell you about Mario Kart, I don't want to discuss Mario Kart, and I definitely don't want to waste valuable time editing anything about Mario Kart.

The tune many are singing right now is that Mario Kart 8 is a make-or-break title for the Wii U. While I originally agreed, a brief conversation with GamesReviews' own Mat Growcott made me change my mind, slightly. My take on the situation is that one game does not save a system, but, if released at a crucial time, it can be the catalyst that changes everything.
