Because people are dumb.

>>14625139

For a moment I thought you were calling Double Dash one of the worst ones. I had to re-read this post twice to realize you meant Mario Kart Wii was one of the worst.

>>14625571

that's true.

>Someone made a program for DD modding.

I will be the change I want to see.

Is there a cheat code where you can get rid of the blue shell?

didn't we already have this same exact thread with the same exact OP and same jpg? Did the old one get deleted? Is this some sort of Template thread gaslighting?

>>14628073

I think OP just tripleposted on accident and mods deleted the other 2 posts.

>>14628584

I've played a bit of the DS and Wii ones, assuming those are what you mean. I wasn't real fond of them myself in comparison to Double Dash.

>>14628599

No, I mean something worse. Mario Kart 7 (3DS) and 8 (Wii U and Switch port).

>>14628661

Oh. No, then I haven't played those, as I don't have any of those systems.

Because Double Dash is the best Mario Kart.

>tfw no double dash 2 or spiritual sequel

>>14625139

Probably because MK Wii is easier to mod, it's just better documented, or it just has better developed tools. There's a lot of factors that go into modding a game besides how good the game is.

>>14629387

>besides how good the game is.

yeah, see Skyrim

>>14629397

Exactly. TES became such a popular series for modding, because Beth included modding tools for free with Morrowind and kept releasing free modding tools for every subsequent game.

It's weird looking back at DD, playing it back in the day it didn't feel as good as MK64 in some aspects (battle stages felt kinda crap except Pipe Plaza), no Quick Race or coins from Super Circuit. The 2 man karts did give more replayability with experimenting with different character combos but did seem a little controversial with locking familiar MK items like triple red/green shells or Gold Mushroom behind to a pair or characters (the Koopa's/Toads respectively), while the new co-op mode was REALLY good and the it had lots of nice stages and included more ones with traffic was really nice.

Basically at the time NEARLY 15 YEARS AGO it seemed like DD style 2 man karts was going to be future and hopefully return in a better refined sequel . . . which didn't happen when MKDS was unveiled at E3 2004 . . . and then seemed like maybe they going to bring it back for a console sequel, you know for easy local co-op play and stuff . . . then E3 2007 rolled around showing MK Wii also not bringing it back. While at the same time certain MKDD elements like it's unique items (Giant Bowser Shell, DK Banana) or things like the Mix Cup still haven't returned.

That's why I'm pissed off at the most unique MK still hasn't gotten a proper sequel especially when they had the perfect opportunity to do it with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, retain the MK8 tracks/DLC tracks and new (proper) battle mode tracks, then remove the single man karts and replace them with DD style karts while also having easy local 2 player co-op with the Switch included Joy-Con straight out of box. That would have been a massive incentive for me to buy it instead of just a refined gameplay wise MK8 it ended up being.

DD gamenight when? It's even possible?

>>14625139

It's probably because it's much easier to fuck around with Wii Games' files than it is for Gamecube ones, textures notwithstanding.

>>14630377

>textures notwithstanding

>>14630539

They edited dialog text in TTYD.

>>14630682

Replacing video, texture, and text files is pretty easy, for modding standards, especially with Dolphin being able to do most of the work for you. Editing models, animations, and level geometry is a lot more complicated.

>>14630731

Fuck me then.

>>14631616

Double Dash is the best racing game ever created, it is superior in all regards. Prove me wrong. Pro-Tip: You Can't.

I wish Nintendo would go back to making ridiculously good Mario spin-offs again. Mario Baseball, Mario Tennis, Mario Strikers. Mario Sports Mix could've been waaay better had they included all the GameCube sports games or something similar into one package. Mario Party has always been kind odd to me, I've never liked it particularly all that much, but I feel it has potential to be fantastic.

And nothing can beat the music for the GameCube spin-offs.

200cc is not enough. I need 250cc. Can that be done in any MK through mods?

Bump.

Isn't DD also the only MK game that has some maps and items that allow you to escape the blue shell?

>>14631700

There was once an era where those were acceptable to post, entire threads of at that. But yes, that era is long gone, beyond occasional posts specifically reminiscing on the time. The time that provided us with "butterlube" and other such wonderful tales.

>>14631734

I miss Saturday night game night with four of my friends at the time; usually it was either the N64 Mario Parties or Double Dash on the Gamecube, and someone (or multiple people) getting mad about chance time or blue shells. Those days will never return now.

>>14636512

I've seen people dodge the blue shell in Double Dash, yes. Not sure if it's the only game to allow for it though.

>>14631679

CTR is always better.

>>14630682

What the other anon said. You'd need to have access to either a tool that emulates the developer toolkit for that game, or hope that the 3D models are just swappable with ease like in MKWii. It seems that Nintendo just went lazier than usual with their Wii titles and onward, plus you need to factor in that the more audience a game has, the more likely someone with the right skills, time and autism can cook up something with it.

See if you can come up with anything, if you really want that game modded so much. I heard a good way of doing this is trying to see if there's any other game using the same engine or a similar structure, then seeing if that game is any easier to modify or if there's dev tools already available.

>>14637441

>CTR is always better.

CTR has it's place, but I can't prefer it over the GameCube games. The Mario games have a certain level of charm, quality, and legitness that surpasses Crash. Mario Baseball can be hype as fuck. They need to bring it back and add more CUH-RAY-ZEE elements. Or like what people will think they'll do with Mario Kart, they could Smash Bros the fuck out of every series.

>Nintendo Baseball

>Smash Fighters could be Captains and any character from any series can now be playable.

>>14637290

Acceptable on 4chan. Demotivators were always shit for the same reason memegenerators are shit. The exact same reason.

Bramp.

>>14636512

>>14637415

Seems to be case for MK games from DS onwards you can dodge with a very well timed boost mushroom.

Another important feature unique to MK DS/7 is that you can see what items your opponents have on the touch screen giving you greater warning to slow down to 2nd to avoid it being launched at you.

>>14640591

They can be funny sometimes.

>>14625139

What?

>>14652305

Are you clinically retarded, anon? Or is English not your first language?

>>14631734

I've seen clan wars in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and it looks fucking awesome.

Imagine that constant drift tailing and the presence of Blue Shells with gloriously unprofessional shittalking like Melee used to have.

>>14638306

You can't compare the two IPs, because on the whole, the Mario brand was much more profitable and it lent itself to a much higher degree of experimentation, whereas Crash was developed by some people and had to be reinvented both because the original owners lost the use of their own IP and because every time it got reassigned they had to reinvent the formula to make sure that their Crash would be The Crash. Besides, CTR was heavily made by people who actually cared about their vidya enough that they studied Diddy Kong Racing extensively to produce a spiritual successor, whereas most of the later titles barring shit like Twinsanity are just shoddy projects with no direction.

>>14656117

hello, rato

Mario Kart Super Circuit was the best one.

>>14631679

The new Mario Tennis really feels like it's trying to be hardcore competitive gaming yet it ironically looks like it'll get the shit broken out of it.

Why does Mario Kart get all the modding attention when Diddy Kong Racing still exists?

>>14656735

all of the best competitive games "get the shit broken" out of them

>>14653454

My whole meta for DD was bowser + baby bowser. I seemed to have 50/50 on getting their special BIG SHELL on every item pickup. Once you get those big shells you just line them up in a narrow corridor and shit them out behind you.

>muh slow acceleration karts

1 or two grind boosts and you're back at max speed.

>>14629981

We absolutely need a sequel to Double Dash. The game was way too short for the fun new tracks and team dynamic it offered that never came back. I really like the Rainbow Road in particular, though I think DS beats it out along with music.

>>14657408

Also liked the Bowser family's BIG SHELL (and was especially funny if it got dropped on to the track making a giant stationary hazard) but used one of them with a opposite weight combo of either Diddy/DK for their GIANT BANANA for defense (and basically blocking parts of tracks like Wario Coliseum) while also having the option to switch from a lightweight to heavyweight for the choice of good acceleration and higher top speed.

I remember a time on Baby Park having a opponents BIG SHELL cruising parallel to me at the same speed (which was strange because I think it should have been moving much faster), felt quite eerie having a massive hazard just traveling alongside me.

>>14658847

The only gameplay improvement I could think of for a DD sequel is the jump/bunny hop needs to return, there's something satisfying about jumping over little gaps in stages like Sherbet Land (N64) or Bowser Castle (DS). The only issue I can see is Nintendo refuses to make a truly perfect MK as every game seems to suffer from two steps forward, one step back in terms of features.

Truth be told if I want Double Dash back, I want it as Mario Kart 99 (it is Mario Kart 9, don't judge the extra 9). Also didn't Mario Kart Wii have an adventure mode planned? That could be fun for unlockables. Also can we keep Link but have Zelda too, Inkling and Octoling, and add Fox and Falco from Star Fox with unique specials? Link and Zelda can use a bow which snipes enemies with rapid fire arrows. Inkling and Octoling can use Tenta-missiles which fires up to 5 homing missiles that leave ink slicks if they miss. Fox and Falco will either have smart bomb, reflector, or call in air support and cheat. I'll go for reflector which deflects shells and hazards back to who made them.

>start with clickbait-tier first sentence to get thread views

fuck off, OP

>>14659379

>Implying OP makes money off of thread views like Jewtube.

I'll bite. If OP was a shill we'd point it out. You have autism. The noose is over there.

>>14656765

Diddy Kong Racing is furry trash that's why.
