Our lengthy Mario Kart series retrospective finally concludes as we discuss the two big dogs vying for racing supremacy! Is 8 Deluxe still king of the mountain or has World pulled off a shocking defenestration to claim the crown for itself? Listen in as the Nutcase and Newcomer talk about what these two games do and don’t have in common in their first official volume of the Switch 2 era.

And stick around towards the back half to hear such things as the Nutcase breaking down into Buddhistic religious ecstasy over Mario Kart World’s soundtrack and each host presenting their definitive ranked list of every game in the series!

The Nutcase is on a real one this time as he does his first SOLO show going over a whole bunch of things he’s done with the Switch 2 throughout the past month. You wanna hear about puns that are eight years old? How about building a philosophical lifestyle around the majesty of swords? Or maybe some inter-dimensional adultery?

Here’s a list of things covered in this episode—but not in order! Gotta keep the mystery alive somehow, eh?

• Switch 2 hardware and features
• Switch 2 accessories
• Switch 2 launch experieyi
• Switch 2 games (Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour)
• GameCube games (SouCalibur II, F-Zero GX)
• Switch 1 game (Super Mario Odyssey)

You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll quickly move on with your life and forget all about this episode for good once the final blooper ends. What more could you want out of an episode that took an entire month to deliver?!

And don’t forget to spread the word about this very fine podcast you are consuming. The Nutcase will go nuts with gratitude if ya do!

CHOO CHOO! The hype train is flying off the rails faster than Doc Brown’s new time machine at the end of Back to the Future Part III, and Nick and Mira are here with their final pre-Switch 2 episode covering Mario Kat DS, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 7.

Be sure to stick around for the last half hour—or don’t—to hear the Newcomer and Nutcase devolve into a slap-happy delirium over old hat and Mushroom George. Ah, the joys of extreme sleep deprivation!

Finally, get in those DK lore questions and theories ahead of our pre-Bananza deep dive into Donkey’s absurd timeline.
