Crash Team Racing is actually a super deep game, once you try beating the staff time trials you'll understand. It's very unforgiving to new players and it does a bad job of teaching you how it works, but once you get it down it actually has a very high skill ceiling comparable to Mario Kart Wii. It's my personal favorite kart racer of all time.
Agreed. This would be my top pick for S tier though probably tied with Nitro Fueled purely since I could play online against other madmen trying to hold sacred fire boost without touching walls for the wins.
Same here. I thought he was saving the best for last and was disappointed he didn't put CTR in the S Tier. I played that game for many hours as a kid and I remember how intricate it was trying to unlock all the different trophies.
He described Nitro Kart's drifting being nice with the extra touch of having to hit the opposite bumper just to have extra boosts...which left me confused on whether he actually is aware that this exact same detail about drifting was present in CTR or not.
Specifically it was because Sega had a patent on (of all things) the arrow/pointer that gives you directions above your car. I think it was settled out of court, but yeah. That's why basically no games use(d) that system. That and it's also terrible, but SEGA gonna be SEGA and pick the worst mechanics to patent. Lol.
Gunna have to defend Riders here. Sonic Riders is a fantastic game if you get decent at it. The air mechanic is tough to learn, but it’s hardly ever an issue when you learn shortcuts, type advantages, etc. It’s very good. Enough so that it has a community updating it on Dolphin.
SONIC RIDERS IS FRICKING AWESOME AND ORIGINAL AND I HIGHLY DONT AGREE WITH THE GUY PUTTING IT SO LOW I mean I might be a little biased since that was my first Sonic game and made me imagine all Sonic games are like that and they are not and I kinda wish there was a flying skateboard (sorry, extreme gear) mode in every single one of them I'm not even kidding but like, it has great music, the wind is a cool mechanic, I love the tricks, levels look great OH THE SCENERY and the jungle one that has a flying centipede thing that was epic and even the sand level that I sucked at was pretty fun. but I know, people can have different opinions and it's not like mr youtube person sucked at it and didn't put it in S haha
Crash Team Racing actually had the same boost mechanic as nitro kart it just makes the boost meter more visible. CTR is actually a pretty difficult game to learn but once you get every down it’s easily one of the best racing games of all time.
I loved Little Big Planet Karting. Little Big Planet games were one of the things I grew up with. And this one had really nicely done controls, power ups, visuals, it had the track editor, customisation. And I’m pretty sure you could SLAP other racers
I started this wondering if he'd somehow skip over Pac-Man World Rally seeing as people have just never heard of it. Literally the first game he even mentions.
Kind of surprised that Chocobo Racing wasn't featured in here, you'd think a video like this would include that and Chocobo GP, forgive me if I'm wrong but I haven't seen these show up neither in the video itself nor in the timestamps, perhaps I missed it?
@@peter_knetter I guess it could be seen as a spin-off to both Final Fantasy (the early ones, since it includes characters like Black Mage) and Chocobo Dungeon
I’ve been wanting a video like this for years! Edit: Diddy Kong Racing has a lot of stuff going for it. Tapping B when drifting turns your drift more. Releasing gas on boosts makes you go faster. When you’re in the flow it’s great and in my opinion way better than anything if that era. (Shoulda been in S)
I lost my mind when he said he didn't get the crash team racing drift mechanics and then proceeded to explain them perfectly during the nitro kart segment as if they were unique to that game. WHAT DID HE THINK THE CTR DRIFT MECHANICS WERE???
I was so confused on that. I'm like "Did he really not know Crash Team Racing literally has the same mechanics he explained?". Plus I actually think Nitro Kart, while it is good, is worse because once player 1 finishes the race, the race ends.
I freaking love Jak X and it makes me sad that nobody ever talks about it, It's just such a fun time and I honestly would rather play it then any Mario kart.
I played it as a kid but I've never revisited it. I'm thinking I should give it another go since I'm hearing from multiple sources that it's amazing. Another mostly overlooked gem like CTR perhaps.
@@felonyx5123 Can you tell me more? I still have my disk and my PS2 still works, this is one of my childhood favorites and I would like to revisit it again
A funny thing about the game is that a couple years ago I was listening to alt rock almost constantly so when I got a bit baked and had the Jak X menu themes going, it was literally just more Queens of the Stone Age music and me my bf had to look up the music because it was too similar to what I had been listening to. because it was the same band lol
Darn it! I completly forgot suggesting “El Chavo Kart” for the PS3/360. A game based on the really big and iconic Mexican/Brasilian franchise “El Chavo”.
There’s a fan made sonic game my friends suggested I’d play. It’s called “Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart”. It controls surprisingly well for a free pc download game. Its a lot like the original Mario kart in terms of looks and controls, but it has a lot of courses and it’s fun to play with friends. Id suggest checking it out to anyone reading this
I swear to God he better give Sonic Riders the RESPECT it deserves! *Edit:* My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. But I'm going to defend it. The air mechanic is actually a really great feature as it forces the player to manage their fuel. They need to know when to go full throttle, when to dial it back, and where they can republish their air. The entire map design is built around this. I also think the presentation for this game is phenomenal, it looks as good as any Sonic game for the time and that's coupled with superb music, graphics, and level design. Some of these levels are just incredible and there is always something cool and new happening. Even in Mario Kart (arguably the best racing game ever made) some of the maps don't have distinct enough areas but that is never the case with Sonic Riders. And there are simply so many levels and dimensions to this game, so many short cuts, upper paths, and alternate routes. All of this routes reward skilled players, you will get the best route if your preform the harder tricks. I think the controls are also incredible. No, it doesn't feel like a kart racer because you are on air boards so it does control in a more slippery way but once you get used to it, you have total control. The controls are tight enough that you never have to worry about losing control or the characters going in a direction you don't want them to. It will feel strange to new players and they will mess up but once they master the controls, they respond perfectly. And that's the game's biggest problem, it is very difficult to get into. The game has so many mechanics, the maps are so intricate, and the controls can be indicating. It can overwhelm new players especially since there is no real tutorial or way to learn all these mechanics other than trial and error. But once you do master them, It becomes one of the fastest, most competitive, and most exhilarating games I've ever played. There is nothing funner than playing with a bunch of other people who are just as good at the game as you are, it's pure fun. That's why I think Sonic Riders indisputably deserves to be at the top of any racing game tier list. It is one of the best, difficult to get into but a pure joy to master. And once you do master it, there is no better game to play for hours of endless fun.
I love the fact that the video gets straight to the point no long spastic intros no 2 minute pandering in the beginning to subscribe and like and here is our sponsor of the day. What a banger dude! Great taste as well
I like this rank but I didn't liked how the Ctr and Ctr remake got knocked down points because he doesn't know how to drift even tho Cnk has the same drift mechanic
I can relate to Peter saying that when you were younger and didn't have many games to play so you'd play some garbage just because it's what you had... I 100% completed Madagascar Kartz DS growing up.
MK8 took so long to get DLC because you're playing the Deluxe version. The WiiU had a fair amount of DLC, and it's all included in Deluxe. Nintendo responded to demands for more, even though nothing was planned originally.
The problem with open-source games like Supertuxkart is that they're made by people passionate about programming but not necessarily passionate about gaming or franchise-building. These games are also developed on the same source code over the course of _years_ (I played the original Tux Kart when I was probably 4... I'm 21 now) so there's a lot less of an atmosphere of "let's build and release a functional game" and more an atmosphere of "hey, this thing that was hacked together from free libraries works, maybe I can add my own features to it" _But..._ I had a lot of fun with the open source games that were on the repositories as a kid, and so have my siblings. Supertux, Supertuxkart, Minetest, Warzone 2100, and there are a ton of smaller games too. I've tried some newer ones too even though I'm an adult and have the money to buy popular games: Endless Sky is pretty good and I didn't mind Battle of Wesnoth when I tried it. 0 A.D. has some super buggy multiplayer but it's probably the best open-source Age of Empires clone you'll ever find.
I’d say some games are placed a bit too low because the mechanics don’t seem to be understood, but you _did_ review nearly 100 games so it makes sense that you wouldn’t get to fully figure out each one. Also I love that Bomberman Fantasy Race was mentioned, that game slaps. Great video!
The battle mode in Mario Kart DS NOT mid. It's easily one of the best in the series. The elimination aspect is epic and the strategy in balloon battle is great. Wiis battle mode sucks because it forces you to be on teams
If a Gameboy Color game says it’s only on the color it’s to indicate it doesn’t work on an OG Gameboy because most games were cross compatible. P.S. Great Video!!
The amount of "hidden" effort this video would have taken to make is astronomical. Not only did you have to spend ages finding the cover arts to all of these games (there are databases, but there's no way a single database had all of those games), you then needed to print them out, and paste them onto hundreds of cardboards cut-outs (which you also had to individually velcro), and that's not even the most enduring part of setting up for this video. You also had to spend all those hours playing what most people would consider shovelware games! It can't be understated enough how much effort you put into making this, you deserve that plug. I find it funny that you put Crash Tag Team racing so high, considering it was only a partially complete game. As it turns out, there's a bunch of cut content that can still be found in the game's data files (on PS2 at least), so the game overall could have had that much more content to it. I wonder if that would have bumped it up higher on the tier list for you.
@Peter Knetter you know you haven't mentioned a spinoff game but it's a mode within a game. And that game is Motor Kombat in Mortal Kombat Armageddon. I love it because nostalgia. Its so funny too because of the off-the-track fatalities.
I realize this game was a pure racing game from the start, but as far as kart racers go Mod Nation Racers was such a legit game that balanced a lot of flaws that other racers had while having lots of customization and great controls
I'm fine when someone doesn't like something because of their opinion. What I dislike is that Peter stated that there is no drift mechanics for Sonic Drift, and while I like the game, it's still not as good with the current standards as Peter pointed out. HOWEVER, I will not stand for Diddy Kong Racing slander. You hold the R and B button at the same time to do a sharper drift, which helps a TON on the later race tracks. Not only that, but DKR offers what I consider to be the most fun handling and speed mechanics of any racing game I've played. If you let go of the A button while boosting, you go a lot faster. Not only at the start of a zipper or using a blue balloon, the whole time the green flame is out. And because of this, you can go really fast, and have a lot of fun. My personal favorite racing game. Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed also handles speed very well with boosters that you can chain or collect to make you really feel like you're going fast. TL;DR Peter missed a few things about Sonic Drift and Diddy Kong Racing, Diddy Kong Racing is an excellent racing game with charming characters, maps, and mechanics with great speed control and momentum mechanics. Edit: This is mostly me ranting about one of my favorite games, and I respect Peter's opinion despite him missing a couple things.
This video is absolutely legendary. From the hilarious and spot on commentary, to the actual physical tier list. It’s all just packaged perfectly. 🤝👏👏👏👏
I love the amount of work you put into this along with all your videos. I feel like your channel has always been quality over quantity, which is a rare exception among the current trend of RUclipsrs. It's as if every one of your videos is an elaborate life's work. On a side note, I was really hoping you were saving the best for last with the Crash racing games. I thought CTR belonged in the S Tier, but that's my own childhood nostalgia bias.
Cars 2 the video game is a really good kart racer imo. It has sone wacky physics and little content but overall is really fun to play. It’s on wii, xbox 360, ps3 and pc. With other games on ds, 3ds and psp.
Sakurai has a series on his channel where he talks about all his Games, so I don't think this game is really special. I might be wrong but on Wikipedia there is a whole list of games he has made before.
Dude, thank you for taking such a huge time and effort for making a 2 hour video about pretty much every go-karting videogame out there. A lot of entries in this list i didn't even know existed :0 PS: Sonic racing games use cars and boards instead of running is so that everyone is on equal ground. If Sonic and Shadow raced on foot, they'd instantly win every race and nobody else would even stand a chance to compete (it's why, lorewise, Sonic R doesn't make much sense despite being a fun game)
Sonic Riders is an extremely fun racer, with depth leagues above most of these entries. The game juggles between being a resource management, QTE/Mini-game like, type advantages, playstyle diversity, secret tech and precise input kind of game. The game has a pretty low floor, where players can learn the game quickly if they care enough, and a high skill cieling that seperates the boys from the men and breathes life into its competitive community. Riders is to the racing genre what Smash Bros Melee is to the fighting genre. I respect your placement, as the game isn't for everyone, but I do feel the critique is unfair because the entire point of the game IS resource management, in which the game is very generous with. In fact the resource promotes player choice, constantly giving you options to play it safe or play risky on a dime.
For me this entire video was hinging on you're opinion of Crash Tag Team racing because everyone always Bashes it, but I hecking loved that game so much and so relieved to see it finally get the respect it deserves!
No way Pattar Dressed up for the occasion of ranking spin-off racing games. I’m guessing he’s just gonna wear a tank top for his wedding cause clearly nothing can top this occasion
see this is why i like peter talking about Sonic R: he isn't just part of the crowd who shit on it without ever having played it, it's a decent racer with little content and it was rushed, which is the bottom line and no one will deny it. for what it is though, it's very fun and controls pretty good (provided you stop treating a racing game as a platformer like most people do lmao).
@@peter_knetter Peter Peter Peter... I'm sorry... You're just bad at the video game, sonic riders has a legit pro scene with fan patches and everything your words... They hurt
Did you know? muppets race mania ( 1:00:09 ) was developed by tt games the developers of the lego games, and that grape sprite was featured in the lego star wars the complete saga as an easter egg
For the people who don’t know what open source means, it’s basically just where the people who made the software put the code somewhere so you can edit it

_But..._ I had a lot of fun with the open source games that were on the repositories as a kid, and so have my siblings. Supertux, Supertuxkart, Minetest, Warzone 2100, and there are a ton of smaller games too. I've tried some newer ones too even though I'm an adult and have the money to buy popular games: Endless Sky is pretty good and I didn't mind Battle of Wesnoth when I tried it. 0 A.D. has some super buggy multiplayer but it's probably the best open-source Age of Empires clone you'll ever find.
Man, I love Endless Sky so much. It's such a banger of a game and I love that it's constantly being added to and improved upon.
Let's go, someone respects Crash Tag Team Racing. My most nostalgic and one of my favorite crash games.
I’d say some games are placed a bit too low because the mechanics don’t seem to be understood, but you _did_ review nearly 100 games so it makes sense that you wouldn’t get to fully figure out each one. Also I love that Bomberman Fantasy Race was mentioned, that game slaps. Great video!
The battle mode in Mario Kart DS NOT mid. It's easily one of the best in the series. The elimination aspect is epic and the strategy in balloon battle is great. Wiis battle mode sucks because it forces you to be on teams
You forgot the bible spinoff racing game the zoo race. Spinoff of the bible
Ayo, fair
I can't explain why, but this is one of my most Favorite Videos on RUclips
moment of silence for the $49 spent on paw patrol that peter will never see again
If a Gameboy Color game says it’s only on the color it’s to indicate it doesn’t work on an OG Gameboy because most games were cross compatible.
P.S.
Great Video!!
NO WAY WE HAVE JUST BE BLESSED WITH A NEAR 2 HOUR PETER VIDEO!!! Very excited to watch this later!!!
“let me check my notes”
The amount of "hidden" effort this video would have taken to make is astronomical. Not only did you have to spend ages finding the cover arts to all of these games (there are databases, but there's no way a single database had all of those games), you then needed to print them out, and paste them onto hundreds of cardboards cut-outs (which you also had to individually velcro), and that's not even the most enduring part of setting up for this video. You also had to spend all those hours playing what most people would consider shovelware games! It can't be understated enough how much effort you put into making this, you deserve that plug.
I find it funny that you put Crash Tag Team racing so high, considering it was only a partially complete game. As it turns out, there's a bunch of cut content that can still be found in the game's data files (on PS2 at least), so the game overall could have had that much more content to it. I wonder if that would have bumped it up higher on the tier list for you.
Astounding on how many racing spin-offs there are! Good work on ranking them all and hearing your thoughts and experience was interesting throughout!
Racing games
Racing games?
😐
Sonic riders, if you get it. Is one of the best racing games.
You forgot about Skylanders Super Chargers Racers Wii and 3DS
That’s right all say it, that game exists
Her name is Roll. She’s mega man’s sister.
Whose name is Rock, Rock & Roll
10:07 There IS a Drift mechanic in both Sonic Drift games if you press the other button and turn
👌
1:24:27 Because they designed it to be played with a friend, not alone all by yourself.
does that apply to Top Gear?
@@QF_Dan72 idk prolly
I can explain why Sonic uses a car in most of the racing games he's in;
He's playing fair for the sake of the competition. He's not a cheater.
I’m so happy you included lbp karting
*You WILL be hearing from the Horrid Henry fandom.*
@Peter Knetter you know you haven't mentioned a spinoff game but it's a mode within a game. And that game is Motor Kombat in Mortal Kombat Armageddon. I love it because nostalgia. Its so funny too because of the off-the-track fatalities.
I like how you chapter this video because then I can screenshot the games I have not played...cheers mate 🙏🏽
just starting this video and I almost gasped looking at the chapters, you've outdone yourself patter, gg
Banjo Pilot was the first Banjo game I played back before I understood how the world worked
@@MrDLBMusic Hello!
crazy
Glad to see somebody acknowledging how amazing Jak X was!
This is the video i always wanted to exist, thank you
clicking the video without seeing the runtime was an experience
I realize this game was a pure racing game from the start, but as far as kart racers go Mod Nation Racers was such a legit game that balanced a lot of flaws that other racers had while having lots of customization and great controls
A WHOLE HOUR,well looks like I better clear my schedule for a Bit,I can't miss this 😊
Almost 2
No one:
Not a single game:
M&Ms Racing: **boots up**
Peter: *I can break you*
I would love an Air Ride remake with a bigger map, more controls, maybe cameo characters if we’re lucky 😜
More maps!!! Only complaint was it needed more hub world maps! It was so much fun
@@renoldojeffrey4653 just make the hub like city trial with all the little secrets and easter eggs
I'm fine when someone doesn't like something because of their opinion. What I dislike is that Peter stated that there is no drift mechanics for Sonic Drift, and while I like the game, it's still not as good with the current standards as Peter pointed out. HOWEVER, I will not stand for Diddy Kong Racing slander. You hold the R and B button at the same time to do a sharper drift, which helps a TON on the later race tracks. Not only that, but DKR offers what I consider to be the most fun handling and speed mechanics of any racing game I've played. If you let go of the A button while boosting, you go a lot faster. Not only at the start of a zipper or using a blue balloon, the whole time the green flame is out. And because of this, you can go really fast, and have a lot of fun. My personal favorite racing game. Sonic and All Stars Racing Transformed also handles speed very well with boosters that you can chain or collect to make you really feel like you're going fast.
TL;DR Peter missed a few things about Sonic Drift and Diddy Kong Racing, Diddy Kong Racing is an excellent racing game with charming characters, maps, and mechanics with great speed control and momentum mechanics.
Edit: This is mostly me ranting about one of my favorite games, and I respect Peter's opinion despite him missing a couple things.
Good to see some love for Jak X
Alternative video title: Kart racing games you didn't know existed
This video is absolutely legendary. From the hilarious and spot on commentary, to the actual physical tier list. It’s all just packaged perfectly. 🤝👏👏👏👏
Damn.
He realy just did that.
I love the amount of work you put into this along with all your videos. I feel like your channel has always been quality over quantity, which is a rare exception among the current trend of RUclipsrs. It's as if every one of your videos is an elaborate life's work.
On a side note, I was really hoping you were saving the best for last with the Crash racing games. I thought CTR belonged in the S Tier, but that's my own childhood nostalgia bias.
There's so much effort put into this video and I hope it will get the appreciation it truly deserves.
Cars 2 the video game is a really good kart racer imo. It has sone wacky physics and little content but overall is really fun to play. It’s on wii, xbox 360, ps3 and pc. With other games on ds, 3ds and psp.
Madagascar Kart on the Wii is actually pretty alright.
Sakurai's first game was Kirby's dream land in 1992, airride was 2003. It was his Seventh game
Think it was either his first as producer or director. Some big first for him. He made a video about it recently.
Sakurai has a series on his channel where he talks about all his Games, so I don't think this game is really special. I might be wrong but on Wikipedia there is a whole list of games he has made before.
He has def made lots before Air ride
Dude, thank you for taking such a huge time and effort for making a 2 hour video about pretty much every go-karting videogame out there. A lot of entries in this list i didn't even know existed :0
PS: Sonic racing games use cars and boards instead of running is so that everyone is on equal ground. If Sonic and Shadow raced on foot, they'd instantly win every race and nobody else would even stand a chance to compete (it's why, lorewise, Sonic R doesn't make much sense despite being a fun game)
Sonic Riders is an extremely fun racer, with depth leagues above most of these entries. The game juggles between being a resource management, QTE/Mini-game like, type advantages, playstyle diversity, secret tech and precise input kind of game. The game has a pretty low floor, where players can learn the game quickly if they care enough, and a high skill cieling that seperates the boys from the men and breathes life into its competitive community. Riders is to the racing genre what Smash Bros Melee is to the fighting genre.
I respect your placement, as the game isn't for everyone, but I do feel the critique is unfair because the entire point of the game IS resource management, in which the game is very generous with. In fact the resource promotes player choice, constantly giving you options to play it safe or play risky on a dime.
For me this entire video was hinging on you're opinion of Crash Tag Team racing because everyone always Bashes it, but I hecking loved that game so much and so relieved to see it finally get the respect it deserves!
As a Garfield Kart player / modder, I am very upset. But this is a great video!
Peter looks good in that suit
Nah I’m sorry I gotta say Sonic Riders rules. Everything is a skill issue.
Yeah, I've been getting that a lot. I dunno, just ain't really the type of gameplay I like from a racer.
@@peter_knetter Its definitely a very different kind of racer. Not for everyone. I also grew up with it so that helps lol
Finally, the Patter Cocotg Kart Racer content I’ve been waiting for…
Me and the bros spent hours playing Kirby air ride! Mostly City Trial
"The Joker has stolen physics."
LOL
No way Pattar Dressed up for the occasion of ranking spin-off racing games. I’m guessing he’s just gonna wear a tank top for his wedding cause clearly nothing can top this occasion
see this is why i like peter talking about Sonic R:
he isn't just part of the crowd who shit on it without ever having played it, it's a decent racer with little content and it was rushed, which is the bottom line and no one will deny it. for what it is though, it's very fun and controls pretty good (provided you stop treating a racing game as a platformer like most people do lmao).
Haven't even watched it yet and I already know it's gonna be a fun time. The Peter Knetter movie is finally real.
That freaking automated voice saying “EEEE” and “A” I’m dying 😂😭
I can’t believe Peter forgot Crazy Frog Racer and Crazy Frog Racer 2.
Technically, Crazy Frog is racing based by nature, so I left those 2 out.
@@peter_knetter no?
My man made CHAPTERS for a nearly 2 hour long video.
Sonic riders is the best spinoff game of all time so it better be in a good spot
Post section review I think you're just bad at the game peter.
😬
@@peter_knetter Peter Peter Peter... I'm sorry... You're just bad at the video game, sonic riders has a legit pro scene with fan patches and everything your words... They hurt
Just aint for me ☠

💔 gahh *grabs chest in pain* 😖
One spin off racing game, I haven't really played but it's called New York City Race. It's a Fifth Element spinoff.

Did you know? muppets race mania ( 1:00:09 ) was developed by tt games the developers of the lego games, and that grape sprite was featured in the lego star wars the complete saga as an easter egg
Where is the grape in Lego Star Wars
For the people who don’t know what open source means, it’s basically just where the people who made the software put the code somewhere so you can edit it
