I've softened up on this game a little since 2019, but I still think it falls into a lot of modern game trappings that ruin what could've been something way more definitive and longlasting, plus I dunno... I think the core gameplay and therefore the game it's based on are great and all, but I still find the ravenousness around them to be a little overwhelming. It's a good game, but I'd still say it's not the greatest kart racer of all time like many will try to convince you.

A PC re-release nowadays with some online bugs fixed and the FPS unlocked would still be great, but given that we're still not getting one for Crash Team Rumble, I'll say it's never coming and it's a missed opportunity. Settled for emulation and a 60FPS code instead, but it's really dumb that I have to in 2023 for a franchise that has had multiple releases on PC over the past 5 years.
