Mine is a three-way tie.

AntDude
Makes great video game reviews. He's also a big Kirby and Crash Bandicoot fan.


TheOdd1sOut
He's not really a gaming channel, unless you go to his second channel but if you don't know him, crawl under that rock you've been living under the past 3 years. He makes storytime animation and is pretty hillarious.


TerminalMontage
He makes funny animation videos about video games. Also the creator of Christian Kirbo and Speedrunner Mario.

After being asked over and over again, I'm finally doing it. My review of Mario Kart: Double Dash. For context, 2 months ago, I bought a Gamecube and bought MK: DD along with it. I posted about it on this website, promising a review about the game. Then I took an abrupt break from MKPC. But now I'm back, so it's time to put this behind me once and for all.

For starters, this is the only Mario Kart game with two characters. Not only does this introduce strategy, but also just the weirdest combos you can think of. There's also special items too, like Chain Chomp (an item that does the driving and bowling over opponents for you), hearts (an item that protects you from other items AND you can use them yourself), and giant banana (an item that, once hit, launches three regular bananas).

For new characters, we have Petey Piranha and King Boo. Which, of course, Petey is here because this is the Gamecube. He was on almost every other Mario game on the console besides Sunshine.

The tracks. Hoo boy, the tracks. We got some great ones here. Including, (deep breath)...
DK Mountain
Mushroom City
Daisy Cruiser
Yoshi Circuit
W A L U I G I S T A D I U M

But, then there's Peach Beach, which is just the most boring track ever.

Also, there's the All Cup Tour, which I'm really suprised hasn't returned yet.

Then, there's the flaws. Rubber-banding is a little bit of an issue here. And 150cc.. is actually, in my opinion, a little bit too difficult. Not because of the speed, but because of the CPU's. Can't tell you how many times I got robbed of gold because of the CPU's.

So yeah, that's my review of Mario Kart: Double Dash. So, where does it rank on my listing of the Mario Kart games?

8. Super Mario Kart
7. Mario Kart: Super Circuit
6. Mario Kart Wii
5. Mario Kart 64
4. Mario Kart Double Dash
3. Mario Kart DS
2. Mario Kart 7
1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

So, what do you think of this Gamecube classic? Let me know. Also, tell me what you think of this video game review, and I'll think about doing more of them in the future.

Oh ok, you guys have resurrected one of my oldest topics.

lol I saw this video too and I love it. I can totally imagine Toad murdering somebody in broad daylight.

His Toad impression is spot on too.

You want perfection? I w i l l s h o w y o u p e r f e c t i o n .



(This is a joke, I am no way saying that the Soviet Union was good, nor that communism is good.)

Sure, go for it.

(Even though I didn't say anything about it.)

I think the most relaxing is Shy Guy Beach from Super Circuit.

Coconut Mall is a close third for me.

Mario Music.

It seems like Nintendo is a master when it comes to making music for Mario and Mario Kart games.

So now begs the question, which is the best?

In my opinion, the best Mario Kart song is a close tie between two. Waluigi Pinball and Toad's Factory.

So, which is your favorite?

By the way, follow me, cause I'll be posting more topics in the future and may or may not make some more tracks.

Kirby (My main main)

Luigi

King Dedede

(When it happens, not "if" When) Paper Mario

Man, people were loving 3D All Stars when it was first revealed, now people are acting like it's the next Sonic '06. I guess that's the internet for ya. For crying out loud people, we are getting three of the most popular Mario games ever on a HYBRID console and people still aren't satisfied.

I really don't care if they patched the BLJ. Gay Bowser hurts a little bit more. Maybe we can have an ACTUAL speedrun of the game without glitches.



Update on my list at the beginning of the topic:

I am going to get 3D World + Bowser's Furry mostly because my family loved playing the original on the Wii U. It also was the first Mario game I owned (not the first I played). My dad is not a gamer, but he's really excited for the new content. I'm glad I made the right call to not rebuy the game on Wii U after I sold 3D World.

Yeah, the reason for that is, I'm homeschooled, my work can be done fairly quickly, and I started three weeks ago. That's how I can be online around 1-2 PM EST.

I think the reason why they didn't put in 3D Land or Galaxy 2 is for two reasons.

1. Changing a handheld game to a console game is kinda odd. Sure, the Switch is a hybrid console, but still I can see why.

2. 4 or 5 games on one cartridge is alot of work. If they did do it, there is no way Nintendo would still charge it for 60 bucks.

And yes, SM64 DS minigames would be a nice touch.

The reason why I didn't mention them is because I don't really care for them. They look alright, but I probably won't buy and/or play them.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I just want to put it out there.

So I woke up this morning, did some of my schoolwork, opened YouTube, and the very first thing I see is this Direct.



Holy cow, the rumors were true. I am 100% going to get 3D All Stars, kinda sad Galaxy 2 isn't there, but I can forgive that. The main reason I wanna get 3D All Stars is for Sunshine, as I have never played it.



I'm debating on getting 3D World, but the Bowser's Fury might pull me to get it.

Who knew that Mario Kart 9 would be in the real world. Sadly, I'm probably not going to buy it.

Oh yeah, and Super Mario Kart Mario and DK Jr. is coming to MK Tour. Very happy about that.

All in all, I am super happy about this and what a great way to celebrate Mario's 35th Anniversary.

What do you mean? Of course it is, the game came out a month and a half ago.

Guys, this is huge. In an interview with the producer of Origami King, Kensuke Tanabe, has confirmed that Paper Mario returning to it's RPG roots of the first two games is likely.

In another interview, Kensuke Tanabe has said that they have "almost complete control" over the franchise and that Miyamoto (who ruined the franchise with Sticker Star) had barely ANY involvement with Origami King.

So, what do you think about this exciting news?
