Very fun when you got a full party of platforming nerds. Levels can quickly degenerate into unbeatable messes which is truly the best part.
2023
Very rewarding game with a lot of great level design. Going for the higher ranks is very rewarding, and worth a try. Most of the bosses are great with slight reservations for the last two. Well worth a play, but I feel a bit lost as to why it's so highly acclaimed.
idk what i expected bro
1999
The Playstation port of Glover misses the mark in nearly every way, the levels are all weirdly sized and sometimes you'll feel like a giant while others you'll feel like an ant. The controls are somehow less user friendly than the N64/PC and the game feels more sluggish on the whole. Only worth checking out if you're a fan of the original version.
2017
Boring. Somewhat funny story and the soundtrack is pretty decent at least.
I really hope they come back to this format one day because they had something special here. Great story, all the three different styles of gameplay are a good deal of fun (only being held back by some lackluster level design particularly in the Dark campaign), and it controls very well even if it takes a little while to get used to.
2003
Unique 3D platformer with a lot of jank and some lackluster levels here and there but generally solid. The gameplay of Wario Land series transfers surprisingly well into the third dimension, and it's a shame we haven't seen any big releases in this style since.
Bonus point for this even existin
2021
Much more ambitious and interesting story, and the movement is a lot more refined. Personally I think the movement is maybe a tad too polished for my liking, to a point where it feels hard to do a whole lot that is really interesting. The level's visited all are very charming but in terms of the gameplay feel a bit more washed than the predecessor, with at least one of the level's being a complete wash after the first playthrough.
The writing is still very solid luckily, and while it never quite reaches the peak of it's predecessor it's a very worthy successor. Well worth your time, whether you've played the original or not. (Though you really should go n play the original first! C'mon it's been seventeen years!)

One of the most unique kart racers of it's generation. Lots of different game modes and different tracks to keep you busy, and an even ambitious adventure mode that while not nearly as cohesive or interesting as a game like Diddy Kong Racing is still very welcome. Well worth your time if you're ever in the mood for a new soulful kart game.
1997
Peak Kart Racing.
The amount of depth and nuance in this game is absurd, especially given there are THREE different vehicles to master that can be used across this many tracks. The Adventure mode is a very fun addition, and should honestly be apart of more Kart games.
Sadly the multiplayer is very lacking in this game, with the console not really being able to handle it too well. Still a masterclass in it's style though, and more games should seek to be like this.

This game is basically unplayable lol, every time I've tried playing this in the past five years it's been a mess.
1996
Fun courses, great multiplayer game.
This game's gimmick is neat and should be revisited. Otherwise it's more Mario Karty which is not a bad thing.
2008
Best courses in the series bar-none. Mechanics are fairly sharp as well, and it's the Mario Kart I come back to the most.
