What’s worth remembering is that Mario Kart 7 did have new stuff in it. You felt like you’d been through this all before, and there was nothing new to master. Certainly compared to other Mario Kart games at least. You see Mario Kart 7 wasn’t a bad game by any stretch, but it just felt like it did nothing new to the series, it didn’t bring any meaningful additions, and as such felt a bit of a hollow experience. For me this game was one of those weird experiences where you can’t deny you’re having fun with it, but you’re still ultimately left feeling disappointed. Thanks to Mario Kart 7, I can quash the theory that all Mario Karts are simply improving on the previous game in the series, thus making this list pointless. So without further ado, let’s power(slide) on through! #8 Mario Kart 7

Feel free to disagree, and I in fact encourage you to let me know your thoughts in the comments section below. Mainly that’s because for this series, there are only 8 (real) entries to talk about, and so it made sense to include them all rather than arbitrarily exclude three.Īs with all these lists, they are just my personal opinion of which games I feel are better than others.

Unlike the Mario and Zelda lists that have gone before, this time I have opted to rank all the mario kart games in the series rather than just a top 5. As I continue my journey down the perilous road of ranking some of Nintendo‘s most-loved franchises, our attention this time turns to arguably Mario’s favourite recreational hobby – go-karting – in the form of the Mario Kart series.
