Mario Kart World: I love the innovations, but I want a 20 year old feature back

I looked roughly when I noticed, the double dash !! is already 22 years old ...

Oh, friends, what am I looking forward to the new one. The material on the Nintendo Direct, which was shown on April 17, 2025, made me even more euphoric than I was already. The routes look great, I like the idea of ​​the Open World and we can finally play a cow as a driver (driver?)!

But I still lack one thing to really break out.I know at the latest now that I will not get her, but what are the player for players for not complaining about his suffering?

Long story, short sense:I lack the co-op mechanics from Mario Kart Double Dash !!.

22 years old and still my favorite Mario Kart

I don't know who of you already played and was also in the privileged position of owning a GameCube. For mine I definitely had to fight for a long time and my first game, which I got with the purple cube, was Mario Kart Double Dash !!.

Not only a driver crouched here, but also always a kind of copilot in the kart. This made little difference to previous Mario kart parts in the single player, because you continued to drive and at the same time throw objects on the road.

Nostalgic? Here is an old advertising from German television:

The feature for this developed its full potential in co-op modewhere the two characters were divided among us players. One drove, the other threw around with bananas. Or blue mushrooms, or what else was there. However, the distribution of roles was not fixed, so that both kartin breeds could exchange the positions at the same time.

This was always the case to realize that your own co-op partners cannot count to three. At the same time, I was able to play with friends who (especially then) had not yet had any gaming experiences. Because while I was breaking the slopes, they were able to learn how it works with the red tanks.

The perfect mode for children and gaming muffle - even today

Sure, nowadays much more people have had a controller in hand and can independently drive their kart in the Nintendo racing game. But I still believe that the co-op mode from Double Dash !! would work just as well today as it was then.

Just for the interaction of children and adults (if you now have difficulties with the controller, you have to decide yourself), the old mode would be an excellent way to finally find out how fantastic gaming is.

Sure, functions such as the smart kart control or the back pulp function are also great, but in my opinion there is no better experience than sitting in front of the television on Sunday afternoon and instructions likeBanana, banana, throw the banana !!!admit.
