    Speak for yourself, “gamer”, it’s the latest Mario Kart game, obviously we’re all still playing it. Have you gone back to Double Dash?

      The latest one is “Mario Kart Arcade GP VR” how can you call yourself a “gamer” if you don’t have four of these machines in your living room? Smh

        I actually built my own go-kart track next to a tortoise sanctuary and a banana plantation for the true experience, casual!

      I just meant in the sense that it was in the top 20 games in the US. Of course its the most popular mario kart game at the time, but I had no idea people play it enough to generate a concurrent playerbase that large.

      With the general lack of content beyond the initial unlocks/DLC and track packs, I wouldn’t think there was that many people playing essentially becomes a time trial game every day. Then again I play wow now so maybe I do understand.

        This is to do with sales, not any concurrent active player metric. Even if it weren’t though, Mario Kart is about playing with friends locally!

            Everyone’s your friend when you’ve got Mario Kart! (Then you blue shell them on the line and you’re back where you started, worth it though)
