Playtonic‘s upcoming Super Mario Kart-inspired Super Yooka-Laylee Kart has real potential and today the company has given fans a closer look at that all-important Time Trial mode. Ghost from your last run make an appearance, so you can see where you can really shave time off of your run. You have four Boost items which you’ll need to use at the appropriate time to really nail your lap. Check out the new footage from Time Trials down below.
Here’s a look at Time Trials in Super Yooka-Laylee Kart
Alright, I’m just going to say it: This was not a good idea. It’s like if an indie studio wanted to make an homage of Super Mario Bros but modelled it after SMB1.
And that’s not a diss to Super Mario Kart. Had it as a kid. Played it a lot. Loved it. Got it’s boxart hanging on my wall. But it was the first step in the series.
And, I have to mention the obvious here, Playtonic is made of ex-Rare guys who tried to make a new Banjo-Kazooie. How in the world did they not just try and make a new Diddy Kong Racing?? “No, let’s do Super Mario Kart instead.” I’m sorry… I just… I can’t.
That’s funny, I also have the box art to super Mario kart on my wall. I found it at a hobby lobby for 10$.
Same story except I think it was $20 for me.
