You know, like McDowells. I don’t actually care what color my shells are. There are principals involved. Principalities!
The Wii is still a good platform
Wii U also. You can download pirated games directly from Nintendo official servers.
Th Wii U didn’t sell that many consoles compared to the Wii.
Also there isn’t much need for piracy for the Wii as there are tons of games that can be had for cheap.
Bought it for €40
I actually always really enjoyed supertuxkart but I’ve never actually played much of mariokart so idk how well they actually compare.
I enjoy it too but sadly there don’t seem to be many online players.
Oh I just talk people into playing it with me on the couch, but a lot of the time they try to talk me into non-FOSS games :(
/c/fossworldproblems
It’s not even a superiority thing either; they’re just the games I grew up with because my family was cheap AF and I wish people were willing to play them with me. :(
My personal list:
-
Luanti
-
SuperTuxKart/SuperTux
-
Mindustry
I would love if there was curated list of the best foss games

Haven’t seen Dr Robotnik’s Ring Racers mentioned yet. Open source game based on the Freedoom engine.
The world needs wacky wheels again
Instantly got the main menu theme in my head.
It was an awesome game, but now I get headache from the fast moving low pixel graphics. I would definitely play it again with a few pixels more.
The Mario part. You can copy the Kart part all day. They’ve been doing so since at least the 64. See:
-
Diddy Kong Racing
-
Crash Team Racing
-
Burger King Pocketbike Racer
Skunny Kart was my favourite, mostly because it was by a group called “CopySoft”
Wacky Wheels!
I’ll never fucking forgive y’all for leaving out Dr Robotnik’s Ring Racers (FOSS sonic fangame)
The crash racing games are actually amazing, their boost system is the best
Let’s not forget SuperTuxKart!
I love tuxcart but I can never find anyone else playing? Is the player base just that small?
Tbh I have no idea. I’ve only ever played single-player!
Most of people are self-hosting the server. You can go to the official Discord or Any STK commmunity to find friends to play together :)
No love for Street Racer? I don’t blame you.
Also Burger King Pocket Bike Racer

Basically every kind of game needs a “MUGEN” for that genre. Then we just put in the content we want and theme it appropriately.
Does SuperTuxKart fit the bill?
It does; you can add karts, racers, and maps
It’s crazy this hasn’t happened yet. Kart racers are conceptually very simple games and are all very similar. CTGP kinda does this but is limited by Mario Kart’s engine.
Right? A series of adjustable physics inputs, a way to import levels and tag areas with terrain info that’s defined in a file somewhere… Typing it out? I think it’s wild that it happened to fighting games BEFORE it happened to a lot of other genres.
There is one: SuperTuxKart
It’s free and open source as well. There are plenty of community content, like custom karts and maps. It’s even adding game mode from popular game. The last one is from Rocket League.
Inb4 Tux Racer
Super Tux Kart
Also, Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart
Or the sequel, Doctor Robotnik’s Ring Racers
Break out DOSBox and fire up Wacky Wheels from Apogee
… Not particularly more recently there was a Crash Team Racing remake
Honestly coming up blank for anything else recentish in that genre
Ah, Wacky Wheels. Played that so much with my little brother. Good memories.
Give DOSBox-X a try btw. DOSBox development became pretty stagnant unfortunately.
Wacky wheels was my jam

Do yourself a favour and play Aero GPX instead
Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed is oddly slept on. Great kart racer.
I was going to buy a switch 2 (or attempt to), but at that cost… hell no. Not without dinner first.

Not quite a clone, but Crash Tag Team Racing was a staple of my childhood
Party animals has an almost 1:1 in terms of gameplay ripoff of Mario kart
Make sure you put two line breaks between every new line. Otherwise it kinda comes out as a blob. You can also use a dash and a space before each entry to get a bullet point.
Played a copy of Crash Team Racing a bit ago. Had a real good time with it.
There’s a third Sonic racing game called Sonic and SEGA All Stars Racing.
Konami Krazy Racers
I wonder why they didn’t got for something like “Konami Krazy Karting”
You have the best list here, but you forgot Wipeout series. Futuristic racing with weapons, set to electronic music.
Garfield Kart is the shiiiiiiiit
Crash Team Racing PS1 was IMHO better than Mario Kart N64. The wumpa fruit added a neat dimension, and the ability to select weapons for battle mode was great.
It still is. Mario Kart is third best behind CTR and Sonic Transformed.
Out of curiosity: did you partly use AI to make this list? Some of the short descriptions read very oddly for a forum post, e.g. the “various tracks” part on Lego Racers.
The “And his friends” seems like ai to me too. Not a huge deal since its just a quick aggregated list, but still fun to try and spot
Yes, those two and the LBP one are what got my sensor to go off.
I’m not trying to make a drama out of it (although some people might), I was really just curious if my intuition was correct. I also don’t think it’s all AI because they used a , instead of a : on the second item, and LLMs tend to be way better than that at consistent formatting.
honestly if I was op I wouldn’t respond to that question regardless if AI was(or wasn’t) used, the “did you use AI question” very easily falls into a slippery slope where others hop on and harrass people over it, so it’s easier to just ignore the question.
I would. And then I would use AI to argue with em lol.
