I was aware that SuperChargers was divisive going into it, journalists loved it but fans of the series hated it so it was often a battleground for heated discussion. In the end though, I just came away feeling... absolutely no strong feeling about this game. The only point I can really articulate fully is that it's definitely my least favourite so far.
Vehicles are difficult to control and their sections are boring to sit through, overal feeling more like a shark jump than a well fleshed out mechanic. Sure, the story is better than most, but that's not really saying much. The nicest things I have to say are that the book level was very visually interesting, and Bowser + DK are some of the most fun and inspired characters in the entire series, but otherwise I can't really force myself to say anything else about this game. For a series that I often find critical consensus was a little too harsh on, the middling rating this game gets when the bickering is said and done is entirely accurate. It's pretty drab and was a warning sign of the market crash just around the corner. Not really much more, but certainly much less.
