![Those philosophical folk—the crimson bathrobe type, fondling a glass of sherry, delightedly blowing bubbles from a mahogany pipe —might suggest this is the finest Mario Kart ever made. All the skill and nuance of the SNES game repackaged to look like Mario Kart 64, alongside 32 staggering raceways, and, crucially, no bikes, ye cheatin’ scum.
The only problem was the blasted link-cable. I don’t think I’ve ever played this game in multiplayer, and a single-player-only Mario Kart is about as useful as polenta without water: fairly useful when a thief infiltrates your pantry and wants to pilfer your sulphur—the resemblance is uncanny—but it’s not going to leave you feeling all that satisfied when you realise there’s nothing left for dinner.

About me
I'm Jack. Sometimes my hair is untidy, riddled with goblins and smurfs. When I scream into the Grand Canyon, it inspires pained howling in wild dogs and wily coyotes, and compels all leaf-eating mammals to scuttle for higher ground in wait of the great flood. I think Goku is an existential paragon. My life's trajectory is adjusted towards becoming a hermit and dying alone somewhere on top of a golden mountain at sunset. Which is a jolly good innings, all told.
