double dash for me

[@ncdldnascarcupheaddiecastl4568]

8 Deluxe is my favorite and my favorite game of all time.

[@goofyfish17]

You forgot the arcade games. Also Double Dash is my favorite

[@Lewisiscoolguy]

[@Chezdude782]

I personally love 7 One of my favourites

[@bitstimandwesker8896]

WAH

[@Icyspider8]

Yeah 7 does have some of the best overall track selection especially the retro tracks it's only overlooked because it's mechanics were carried over to 8 and many of the tracks were carried over in the bcp

[@eliserss]

agreed. 7 doesn't really stand out compared to other games but it's one of the most refined games in terms of controls and features plus it has the second best track list. i'm also just a sucker for 3ds era visuals lol... i will say that the roster is really underwhelming, but modding it fixes that

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

I feel like everyone agrees its one of the best but its just so forgettable since MK8 exists

[@jaredleebarker]

I always thought it was so weird that there was no VS mode in Mario Kart 7

[@yang6642]

My ranking would be: 1. Mario Kart Wii 2. Mario Kart 8 3. Mario Kart 7 4. Mario Kart Tour 5. Mario Kart DS 6. Mario Kart: Double Dash 7. Mario Kart: Super Circuit 8. Mario Kart 64 9. Super Mario Kart

[@Blazethh]

@@WritingCountingOriginal The game just sucks to control. That alone is enough to put it on the low end of one of the greatest video game franchises for me and probably most people. I respect the creative ideas they introduced though.

[@Swiftjar]

Great choices!!! Thanks so much to

[@mailpaper7754]

I can't rank all the games since I haven't played them all, but here's a list of the ones I have played 1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - I mean obviously lol. Best character roster, great battle mode, great track selection, and the best controls. 2. Mario Kart 7 - This game gets way too much hate just because its not Wii. The roster attempted something new and was good, only reason its seen as bad is because no Wah, the nitros are great, the retro selection is the best in the series (base game at least, and the controls are great. 3. Mario Kart Tour - This game is also way too hated. The controls are difficult but fun to learn, the mechanics of the game are something new and fun, growing a collection of characters and kart parts a also nice, and its fun seeing different tracks every few weeks. 4. Mario Kart 8 - This was one of my childhood Mario Karts but it was a let down in some aspects. The character roster was bad, the battle mode was uninspired, the nitros were just fine, and the retro selection is mostly mid. 5. Mario Kart Wii - Controversial but this game is no where near as good as people say it is. The controls are terrible and not fun to learn, the visuals are a massive downgrade compared to Double Dash despite that game releasing years prior, the track selection is overrated, and the retro selection is alright I guess, oh and it has the worst battle mode in the entire series. 6. Mario Kart DS - Fun and nostalgic game but its not the best. Track selection is good but overrated, worst Rainbow Road, worst retro selection, good character roster, and nice controls but broken strats. 7. Super Mario Kart - Was fun seeing where the series started, but man is it pretty bad compared to the others lol. Track selection is uninspired, and the controls are wacky.

Great rankings mate!!! I really recommend double dash if you ever get a chance to play it

Wow! Your inside my brain Swiftjar lol. This is the exact ranking I would have except 64 would be below 7 for me. Great ranking & love watching these videos!

Mario Kart 7 was my 2nd favorite behind MK8 Deluxe + Booster Course pass.

[@Sander8472-hb5mu]

Great video as always!

[@andrescube64]

My personal favorite Mario kart game is Mario Kart Super Circuit. It’s one of the most skilled games I’ve played, so much so that I got 3 stars in all cups and ccs include the extra cups. It’s an excellent game that is really underrated.

[@Bennyboymuk8]

That was an amazing ranking video swifty, very nostalgic. It’s hard to rank all the entries in the series as they all bring something unique, but I pretty much agree with most of your ranking,apart from my top 3 which would be slightly different 1 Mk8 deluxe 2 Mario kart Wii 3 super Mariokart on the snes as it was the game I first played and grew up with, followed then with double dash. Can’t wait to see what’s next for the greatest game franchise ever😊❤️

[@Swiftjar]

Thanks so much mate!! Really appreciate it. Great list and I can’t wait to see what’s next to. I think we’re not to far away from finding out

[@SuperDreampuffGamer]

Historically, while Wii race tracks returned multiple times...the battle courses sadly are not remade yet.

[@MannyGM]

I totally forgot that Home Circuit exist. Anyways, great ranking video. Mario Kart 64, Super Circuit, Tour and 8 Deluxe are my favorite games in the series 😀

[@bugamoose6]

Only real disagreement i have with the list is that I wouldve put 7 in my top 3 or 4, however thats largely due to nostalgia reasons since its a game I played a lot growing up

[@TonymeansAnthony]

Finally someone respects tour for what it is.

[@watchf]

I don’t don’t want to respect it for what it is because I don’t respect what it is.

[@DraftyDaftyHubertOHare]

To me, Super Circuit below 64 is criminal. 64 is genuinely unfun to play.

[@andrescube64]

I agree

Awesome rankings! I love the list, and my list is almost The same except Mario Wii is 2nd place on my list and double dash is 3rd and I love both the others I agree with though I did not play Mario kart home circuit or the arcade games but I have played all the others from snes to the switch plus Mario kart tour. 😊👍

[@johnnymind4151]

Great ranking as usual, overall I agree with it except that personally I would switch 7 and 64 because the former is much smoother to play than the latter and has more content although I can see where you're coming from!

[@adildhan1991]

your list is good. i often judge the mario kart lists by how high they put mario kart 64. the really biased ones put it too high. in my list, i would have put MK7 a little higher up.

[@bingobo2551]

I’m surprised you didn’t include the 4 arcade games Edit: I just realized you included footage of one of the arcade mario karts.

[@aaronprewitt344]

Here’s my predictions for the next game based on the following guidelines: No double dipping, first time retros only. (Including all tour first time retros) Shell cup: DS Figure 8 circuit SNES Bowser’s castle 1 WII U Animal Crossing WII Toad’s factory 2nd cup (unnamed): N64 Wario Stadium GBA Broken Pier SNES Mario Circuit 4 WII U Mute City Banana cup: SNES Koopa Beach 1 3DS Wuhu Loop GCN Mushroom City Wii U electrodrome Leaf cup: Wii Luigi circuit DS Bowser’s castle Wii U Mount Wario 3DS Maka Wuhu 5th cup (unnamed): SNES Ghost valley 3 GCN Wario Colosseum Tour Piranha Plant pipeline Wii U Hyrule circuit Lightning cup: Wii Mario circuit Wii U Big Blue SNES Bowser’s castle 2 GBA Rainbow Road

[@MUDZKP1]

8. Super MarioKart 7. Super Circuit 6. 64 5. 7 4. DS 3. 8/8D 2. Double Dash 1. Wii Edit: If the next Mariokart is Double Dash 2, or has a Double Dash sidemode, that will very likely be my favourite in the series.

I thought I’d never see someone put 64 above the peak that is 7 and tour in top 4??? Idk man it’s pretty lame

[@brunolike8631]

My list (you're not gonna like): 10th: *Mario Kart 64* Besides the battle mode, the game just aged awfully. Bad tracks, bad visuals, bad controls, if you want a kart racing game on the N64, Diddy Kong Racing is right there. 9th: *Mario Kart Tour* Gameplay is just waaay to slow, I'm not a fan of the combo mechanic and I can't play whatever course I want. Also, while it does have a huge roaster, you can't play with your favorites if you want to win. 8th: *Super Mario Kart* Idk, I just have a good time playing this game lol. 7th: *Mario Kart 8* (WiiU) Yes, the game looks and sounds gourgeous, but I'm not a fan of how the game controls, and the other games just have more content. 6th: *Mario Kart Super Circuit* Underrated gem. The controls might not be the best, but everything else is just great. Every track in this game is memorable on their own way. 5th: *Mario Kart Double Dash!!* The devs were on drugs developing the game, and I love it becouse of that. The amount of detail each track has is huge, although the tracks themselves could be more creative. 4th: *Mario Kart 8 Deluxe* Fixed one of the main issues with the og MK8, the content. 96 courses, a good battle mode, a huge character selection, this game has everything (except mission mode ;-;). I still don't like the gameplay of it, so it's not higher. 3rd: *Mario Kart 7* It might not have as many tracks as 8, but boy is this game good to control. The track selection is also peak! 2nd: *Mario Kart Wii* Ngl, mods carried this game to second lol. What is 96 courses when you can have 200? Do you like chaos? Try racing 50 laps, 24 players, item rain or whatever hell cc you want to. 1st: *Mario Kart DS* I know it doesn't have the best track selection in the world, but as an single player gamer, this game has everything I would want in a Mario Kart game. Mission Mode, a good Battle Mode, gosh, even time trialing is fun with every type of technique there is to do and learn.
