CTR by far.

Always thought Team Sonic Racing was better than any Mario Kart.

Yep. The driving is just more satisfying.

Diddy Kong racing>>>>> Mário kart 64

Dragon Kart, mostly for the music.

Snowboard Kids without question.

Super bomb bad racing was fun.

Modnation was great other than the loading.

 

[Vandole]

Sonic Racing Transformed is excellent, even if you did end up having to unlock Danica Patrick for some reason.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Pretty much Diddy Kong Racing, but not really for the racing. I like it for the open hub world that it features, I might actually buy a Mario Kart if they worked on some things like that, I haven't bought one since Double Dash. Mario Kart 64 is my favorite.

Moto toon gp 2

Crrrrrrrazy Taxi

That's incorrect

so what? I'm free to post whatever I want. I don't need your permission to do so.

I prefer these two games over Mario Kart. What is the problem?

That's incorrect

 

[MonkD]

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is the best racer we've ever gotten. Too bad Beenox went back to being a COD-support studio. They've honestly been a fantastic studio whenever they've had a reasonable schedule and budget.

Because posts like that just bring in the warriors who want to argue back & forward

 

[M1chl]

"character racing games" that seems like that infamous "corridor racing games", fake genre

 

[Paasei]

Crash Team Racing
Micro Machines/Maniacs

As a big Naughty Dog fan (yes I still am), gotta go with Jak X.

I forgot this game existed, dang, i have almost one whole year with that game in psp, one of my favorite racing kart games as well

Most of them are created or anonymous, the rest are real life racers from F1 and other sports games.

 

[skit_data]

Crash Team Racing, the remake was also excellent

That doesn't make it a Mario Kart-style game, which is what a "character racer" game is.

You also play the role of Pac-Man in the Pac-Man game, but that doesn't make it an RPG.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

ModNation Racers for sure. Ahead of its time. Still don’t have a campaign, boss battles and custom karts/kart sharing in Mariokart. MK9 should at least have a real campaign with boss battles or they’re just phoning it in.

Garfield, all these games look similar to me but I like Garfield.

Mario kart is always good with friends but for a solo/story mode, Diddy Kong racing was awesome

 

[Kataploom]

I loved DDK Racing and have missed a story mode like that in another Kart game, maybe MK9 will have it? I mean, it seems like it might have a big open world going by the footage.

Also I always liked the Sonic All-stars Racing Transformed way more than MK, I wish Sega insisted in the franchise, it was so good, way less randomness which was more enjoyable to me, I really need them to go back to it.

 

[soulbait]

Diddy Kong Racing! Game was so good.

 

[STARSBarry]

Diddy Kong Racing, the whole overworld thing they did really made it feel like a true adventure. The unlocks just kept coming, like you thought you where done and then the lighthouse turns into a rocket ship and even more tracks unlocked it just kept going.

Amazing game.

 

[alabtrosMyster]

Sonic all stars racing transformed!

Maybe sega's next one will outdo it.

I hate all Mario Kart games, they're boring and lame.

 

[onQ123]

Sonic looks like he is going to make a run for the top of the hill

 

[Gameboy415]

SD F-1 Grand Prix, a Japan-only Super Famicom game inspired by Super Mario Kart, isn't very well-known but it's worth checking out:
