I hope this will be useful to you.

It's been a year since Mario Kart World was released.

I made this video for players who still haven't collected all the character costumes!

(English - Ai Translator)

After watching this video, I decided to stop playing Mario Kart World's online Versus mode.

I've already deleted my save data and started from scratch.

1. Network conditions seem to vary greatly between players.

- Because of this, I often get hit by bananas, shells, bombs, and other items in situations where it feels like I shouldn't have been hit.

- It feels impossible to react in time.

- This is especially noticeable with things like invisible shells, invisible bananas, and invisible bombs.

2. The luck factor feels too strong.

- There are races where I focus entirely on defense, make no obvious mistakes, and still end up getting hit repeatedly while others seem unaffected.

- Some of that may be my own fault, but many situations seem related to the network issues mentioned above. 😢

- As a result, I often finish near the bottom and lose a lot of points.

- It feels very difficult to recover from the back of the pack without a Bullet Bill.

- Ironically, the item I need most often never seems to appear.

3. Communication errors during the event have been frustrating.

- There was a race where I was doing very well and only needed to cross the finish line.

- A communication error occurred, I was removed from the room, and I lost points.

- In another race, I crossed the finish line in a high position, but the results screen took a long time to appear.

- When it finally did, I was suddenly placed last.

- I still don't understand what happened there.

I've also heard rumors about cheats that avoid item damage or intentionally cause connection issues for other players, although I have no idea whether those rumors are true.

With issues like these, I was surprised to see a 1st Anniversary event being held.

I understand that I'm not the best player, and perhaps I'm not in the best position to complain about game balance.

Still, after participating in the event, I couldn't help feeling that there are too many unresolved problems.

The music is excellent.

The Free Roam mode is fun and full of content.

But the online Versus mode feels very frustrating to me.

For that reason, I won't be playing Versus mode anymore.
