“Second Coming Situation is Crazy”

Gab 🎶 @gabocarina96.bsky.social · 1d

Yep… The Rainbow Road theme from Mario Kart World is the best piece of music that I heard in a long time and it’s not even close.

An absolute masterpiece in my opinion.

Here’s a little piano rendition of Comet Observatory from the first game to celebrate!

I started playing the game too literally just a couple days ago!

I've been tired of AAA for a very long time but this game has been amazing so far!!

Same!! I was really starting to lose hope. I still think we should be able to select a mode where only lap-type tracks can appear online but hey… I’m still very happy with this update!

I think Sonic Racing: Crossworld might have pressured Nintendo to fix Mario Kart 😂

Gab 🎶 @gabocarina96.bsky.social · 15d

Huge update!!! I just tried it for a bit and 3-lap tracks do seem to appear more often again when playing online! Less straight lines, more actual tracks! 🥹

Also, being able to see the P-switches and medalions that we collected on the free roam map was a way overdue feature.

I love this game!!

Well... in french we say "ben(g)-yeah" (not "yay") but english people do pronounce it "yay" for some reason. 😂

Example of what I’m talking about.

It’s not super hard… It just makes the brain work out a little compared to the more romantic or modern stuff I prefer playing.

That being said, I think it’s important to practice things that take us out of the comfort zone. It pays off in the end.

Gab 🎶 @gabocarina96.bsky.social · 18d

For as much as I dislike/have a hard time playing Baroque (mostly Bach) on piano… It’s freaking rewarding down the line!!!

With most piano pieces, it feels like both hands are working TOGETHER but then there’s Baroque music… Where hands just seem to battle/challenge each other instead.

Woah there!

Gab 🎶 @gabocarina96.bsky.social · 18d

And that’s exactly why this demo needs to let people play at least a level! I just replayed it to see and skipping cutscenes I replayed the whole demo in 8 minutes…

Gab 🎶 @gabocarina96.bsky.social · 19d

Entering the first level is literally the end of the demo which I think is a bit unfortunate as you don’t really get a sense of the true gameplay from just the hub world.

To be clear, I want this game to do well! I’m just afraid they’re selling themselves short with this demo.

Super nice visual upgrade from the original, the new orchestral music sounds amazing, love the added content!

32 minutes is too short for a demo though. Doesn’t let you play an actual level. What I played was great but I’m afraid this may not convince newcomers to buy the full game. 😕
