Enjoy! Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, a remake of the Playstation 1 original, had released one year ago at this point in time. Since then, not only did it receive a fair amount of content with new tracks and plenty of customization options to go around, but BOY did it become one of my favorite games of 2019. Heck, I'd considerate it among my favorite racing games of all time with how amazing and satisfying the controls and the sense of speed can be when you take the time to learn it. On the opposite corner of this topic though is of course Mario Kart, or specifically the enhanced Switch port of Mario Kart 8 from the Wii U. That game may not have done enough to offset the commercial failures of the Wii U, but on Switch it reigns supreme sells wise. You can hardly go wrong with Mario Kart and it's simple (albeit limiting and stiff in this entry) controls and frantic item fun that has stood firm throughout the series for almost 30 years now. Which of these two games is better in your eyes? Well I've prepared a couple of special videos where I play online races of both games alternating back and forth. In order for Mario to keep up with the speeds Crash can achieve with all that boosting, all Mario Kart races in these sets will only be on the fast 200cc mode that was added later in Mario Kart 8's lifespan. Unless I'm forgetting anything worth mentioning, lets get to these!
