T4w0JjaF0 There’s a lot of newfangled Switch 2 music I love already, but Mario Kart really hits home for me. As a listener of some prog rock out of Japan— Masayoshi Takanaka, I’m speaking to you directly—this feels like some kind of lab-grown earworm that I’d let take up residence in my brain rent-free.

Mario Kart World breaks away from series tradition to great success, even if it is slowed down by an interconnected yet world.

It’s not easy to follow a game like Mario Kart 8, but Nintendo’s open-world racer does an admirable job.
