The unique Mario Kart isn’t the simplest recreation within the sequence, particularly if you happen to weren’t raised on its Mode 7-induced peculiarities, however that’s a relative factor. It’s effective, it’s nonetheless simple to take a look at, it’s simple to play, that’s why they’re nonetheless promoting trillions of copies of Mario Kart video games to today.
However ah, what if you happen to modified a single factor about it. What if you happen to stored the whole lot else the identical however swapped out the highest display screen’s behind-the-driver viewpoint for…a succession of static digital camera angles, ala the previous Resident Evil video games.
It seems like this, and it seems like hell.
This was made by SNES (and Mario Kart specifically) hacker MrL314, and my absolute favorite factor about it isn’t the jarring horror of the angles themselves, however the truth that zero concessions have been made to point out the place the participant is. You simply gotta do not forget that you’re (on this case) Mario and hope for one of the best (which explains why the AI drivers are so calm about this whereas in each contemporary minimize you’ll be able to see Mario hilariously sliding round like this was an ice observe).
