After finishing Mario Kart Double dash, I decided to try Mario Kart DS as I never played that one.

I’m guessing that it had to do with the hardware, but the karts felt slow, so I moved on to Mario Kart 8.

I have to admit that this version of the game looks the best and the kart movement feels the best.

It’s such an improvement over Double Dash that I think I do in fact like it better. Especially at 200cc.

    From my perspective that’s when Mario Kart caught up with Crash Team Racing’s drivability from the PS1. Not even the successors to CTR got it right. Even the remake/remaster feels off (sewer speedway physics are horrible and the shortcut felt impossible on the newer versions). Mario Kart 8 feels similarly like an extension of what you want to happen and it just does. I do have more fate on Nintendo keeping it going in future iterations.
