    Ironically? I noticed at some point in the last few weeks McDonalds switched from WB MultiVersus happy meal toys to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe…which came out in 2017 and somehow is still relevant enough to get happy meal toys

      Mario Kart still sells extremely well

        It’s still in the top 20 most sold games last month - ever since it released. It‘s almost as if it is a good game.

    I really wanted to like this as an alternative to smash brothers but they actively made each update since beta feel less competitive and sluggish while having terrible battle pass/UI shoveled in to monetize and confuse it’s player base as much as possible.
