Gold Medal Games: Picking the best sports games in Nintendo's multi-decade history
Best Nintendo version of the sport: Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (2003)
What does it get right? The most interesting 21st innovation in Mario Kart’s venerable history wasn’t the shift to two-wheels, but to two people per kart: With 2003’s GameCube-exclusive Double Dash!!, a series that often devolves into “more tracks, forever,” Nintendo actually found a way to make its core gameplay more exciting. Double Dash!! might not have quite the track variety of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (although we’ll stump for the massive Wario Colosseum any day of the week), but its ability to pair two different drivers (and players) together for increased trackside chaos makes it the crown jewel title of Nintendo’s crown jewel racing franchise.
Is Waluigi in it? Don’t turn around, dear reader; Waluigi may be right behind you (preparing to throw a red shell at your enemies).
Interesting also-rans: Land-(ish)-based racing is the single biggest entry in Nintendo’s whole sports catalog, courtesy of Mario Kart, F-Zero, and a few other, smaller franchises. With apologies to Captain Falcon (and the Uniracers crew), though, we’ll stump here for the Excite series, especially the massively underrated ExciteTruck and ExciteBot for the Wii. Aside from simply getting “steering by turning the Wiimote” as right as Nintendo ever did, both games also emphasize exploration and expressive play over sheer speed, transforming each of their tracks into big, dynamic playgrounds for racers to flip and spin their way across.
