Anything that wasn't Mario Kart died because it wasn't Mario Kart.

Nobody's going to play a kart racer besides Mario Kart online. It was only worthwhile to make clones when games were offline affairs, and Mario Kart didn't have a complete stranglehold. Nobody wants to touch other Kart Racers because they'll always feel like bootlegs.

Still alive and kicking...

Killed by microtransactions, bad online, and/or being complete shit.

mario kart won

CTR Nitro Fueled was really good.
Shame about the monetization shit and no PC port though.

it peaked a dozen years ago, so now only nintendo persists with this dead genre out of pure tradition (and even then, they haven't released an actually new one in 7 years)

It sort of had a renaissance in recent years with SRB2 Kart and CTR Nitro Fueled, but now things have dried up again. And no, I'm not interested in the Mario Kart 8 DLC.

Is the gameplay actually good?

Mario karts fucking dead, the last mario kart game that isn't that mobile trash was released 8 years ago.
Sonic and Crash have had kart racers more recent than mario kart.

This. You should be asking that question to smash clones

For me, it's Chavo Kart

>It's true
Another day goes by
And where was I?

I'm so fucking mad that Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart doesn't have a Adventure mode like that
It would literally be fucking perfect

Isn't this the game where people found out one of the employees was in a gangbang porn video and she ended up quitting after everyone found out?

The genre peaked

Looks worse than Super Mario Kart on SNES.
How do Indies always manage to only barely get on the level of 30 year old games...?

No other franchise could top it off. Most of the kart racing games are just shovelware Mario Kart, with a few exceptions like Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing, CTR. and DKR. Nothing else managed to bring a different spin to the genre.

Let's be honest, it's the only thing any normal person can even identify in that roster.

that would be tits. I've seen level packs for vanilla SRB2 that have a hub world so its doable.
