It’s the sort of title you’ll happily have a thirty minute blast on here and there and most likely have a lot of fun doing so.

Fans of the Mario Kart series are no doubt excited about the latest installment. But for those wanting more, here's a collection of indie alternatives.
A track editor would have been awesome in MK8, I'd have also settled for procedurally generated tracks that could be saved for future races.
