WWE Star Jokingly Slams Modern Mario Kart & Mario Party

by

Summary

  • Cody Rhodes prefers Mario Kart 64 over modern versions, finding them less fair.
  • He criticizes modern Mario Kart and Mario Party for being too forgiving to players falling behind.
  • Maybe Rhodes would prefer Stardust over Stars?

comedically criticizing, Cody Rhodes, a WWE star, playfully lambasted the current versions of Mario Kart and Mario Party games for being overly lenient, expressing affection towards the classic gaming era of Nintendo 64.

In a fair play strategy, the Mario Kart series allows players lagging behind to regain their position by limiting powerful items to the racers in last place. For instance, the Chain Chomp, which takes control of the kart, rendering it invulnerable and preventing it from falling off the track’s edges, is one such item. The Mario Party games employ a similar approach, bestowing Bonus Stars upon players with lower scores.

At the inauguration ceremony for Universal Epic Universe and the Universal Orlando Resort, professional wrestler Cody Rhodes shared some unexpected views on the Mario Kart series when asked about it.

Cody Rhodes Is A Mario Kart 64 Fan

As it turns out, Cody Rhodes is quite fond of Mario Kart 64 and finds it superior to more recent games. Fortunately, his household can enjoy Mario Kart 64 on the Nintendo Switch (through the Expansion Pass), eliminating the need for a less satisfying Mario Kart 8 Deluxe experience.

Even after all these years, the original Mario Kart on the N64 remains compelling. Compared to contemporary versions, it seems slightly more balanced, as in modern editions, the Blue Shell item sometimes seems to compensate for a player’s lack of skill.

In addition, Rhodes shared his thoughts on Mario Party as well, but these views are quite prevalent, particularly among players who happen to be ahead in the game.

In other words, just like Mario Party, it’s a fully developed game where strategic decisions matter. However, at the end of the day, friendships seem to play a significant role as the person with more friends often receives three Stars.

Many professional wrestlers often play video games, as they have a significant amount of free time during their travels and require amusement between matches. However, it’s best to avoid pulling out Mario Kart 8 Deluxe during a WWE event.
