/vr/ - Retro Games

Better than any Marry-o racer.

>>3883712
How is this even a question?
It's fucking Crash Team Racing, the best kart racing game ever made

>>3883724
>>3883720
I don't know, it seems people are bias against it because it doesn't have moustaches and hats with initials on it.

Nothing will ever reign supreme against M&Ms Kart Racing

Not a Kart Racer given no Karts but still was a fun game. Was more like kangaroo creature racing

>>3883712
>Japanese version has different portraits
Kinda interesting.

It's okay for a Diddy Kong Racing clone.

>>3883828
>Diddy Kong Racing clone
Besides a hub with vaguely similar style, the entire thing is different.

>>3883864
How is it different? Bearing in mind CTR was literally created using duplicates of DKR levels that were replaced with original versions later.

>>3883864
dude lmao
by naughty dog's own admission it is a DKR clone

they never had pretenses that it wasn't

Probably the best small-scale car circuit racing game.

>>3883712
>Worst classic kart racer ever
That's Woody Woodpecker Racing

The answer to both questions is SKUNNYKART.

>>3883712
I was the best kart racer of all time, until Sanic Racing Transformed came out

>>3883712
Best mariokartvania for sure

>>3883743
Truer words have rarely been spoken on this board.

>>3883872
Its boost and jump mechanics, which single-handedly elevates it from good to the best Kart racing game ever made.

Looney Tune racing shit on it.
Wacky Race shit on it too.
Mario Kart was still better too.
That doesn't mean it was a bad game, it was even a good one. Just not the best.

>>3885821
The jump = boost mechanic is cool but inconsequential in the bigger picture

Other than that, there is little unique about CTR. The slide = boost is pulled straight from MK64's mini turbo boost.

>>3885990
It's not inconsequential at all. Being able to jump is a major part of the game, it grants you more speed (and there are countless bumps in every course) and allows you to reach shortcuts.
The boost mechanic in CTR is a massive leap over the regular "hold down to do a singular boost". It grants you the ability to do up to three boosts whilst sliding so long as you don't go in the red. This adds a lot of risk and reward to the game: choosing whether to play it safe and just do 1 boost, having the skill to use all 3 boosts and stay under control etc. To call it "pulled straight from MK64" is a complete lie.

>>3886002
For you

>>3886002
So you never played MK64?

>>3883962
Not so fast
>Get it? because it's slow

>>3886785
I loved that smurf game as a kid

>>3883787
A lot of Crash stuff was changed for the Japanese release. Even the original Crash games.

So, was the alien playable or was it a oax ?

The only thing I NEVER achieved in this game was beating the alien's ghost in every single time attack course. Only beat like half. So I never found out if it was an oax.

>>3888386
only with gameshark

>>3888386
I'm sorry, did you mean a HOAX?

>>3888390
Does he have his own attributes (is he better than the fucking penguin) when used in SP through gameshark or is it just a reskin?

>>3888408
I thought he wasn't a reskin.

>>3883712

DK racing > Crash > MK64

>>3886764
Jumping is not used frequently in MK64 like it is in Crash, you only use it to get to the minute amount of shortcuts inadvertently in the game, whereas in Crash you use it all the time.

Seriously, the fact that I have to explain this to me leads me to believe that you have never played CTR in your life.

>>3883712
Neither, it was great but it can't be da bess for that generation when pic related exists.

>>3883874
>DKR
that abbreviation is already taken

>>3890335
but that's DRK

>>3890376
For you.

>>3885921
>>3883712
I wonder how they decided which portraits to redraw for Japan? Tiny and N. Gin look really out of place with the redraws

>>3890328
>replay EVERY track three times or more to unlock the final world where you get to do it AGAIN
>best kart racer

I redpilled myself on this game recently and it hurts.

>>3883712
Hell of a lot better than the mario kart series.

>>3891772
They redrew, Crash, Coco, Cortex, Pura, Penta, N. Tropy and Fake Crash.

>>3890305
Wasn't talking about the jumping, I said that because you implied you can't do more than 1 boost at a time in MK64.

>>3891772

>>3893391

looks like they made penta more kawaii

>>3883712
I played this recently after having only played Mario Kart for years, and it won me over instantly.

>>3894125
i bet you were saying "where has this been all my life"

I love the game but it's just too easy.

One thing that bothered me was brio was not in the game. A major character in the first games and he's nowhere to be seen. Would've been much better than komodo joe or penta

>>3896189
>One thing that bothered me was brio was not in the game
His beakers were in the game, I guess that was to reminisce him.

how did it compare?

It's far more engaging than Mario kart. I cant say it's more fun, but the power slide changes everything, even the multi player.
The tracks aren't as varied as on mk,another bad point. They're good, based on places from the other games, but mk wins with the likes of star road,bowsers castle, yoshi highway and dk mountain.

The jumping and powerslide make it technically much better than mk,but overall it's a toss up as to which is better.

>>3883724
wrong

>>3896343
If title said SKUNNYKART 2 I wouldn't find anything suspicious.
Seriosly, this game would be cooler if it have been remained RC Pro-Am 64

>>3896354
no

>>3883712
All the retro kart racing games were great. Your favorite cartoonish racing game was the one you owned as a child. I owned Super Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing so those are my favorites.
