Mario Kart World's staff would "go skateboarding or ride their bikes" during lunch breaks, which explains the wild movement in the Switch 2 racer

Mario Kart World's fancy movement mechanics were in part made by devs who would spend their lunch breaks skateboarding.

Mario Kart World may be catching some strays thanks to its glut of intermission tracks breaking up the actual track racing, but when you ignore that fact, I can't think of a Mario Kart game that feels better to play.
