As much as I absolutely adore Mario Kart and all of its iterations, the brand-new Kirby Air Riders may make it so that I can never go back to it.

As anyone who’s played the original GameCube title Kirby Air Ride will know, there’s no need to accelerate in this game. Steering left and right is all that’s needed, while the B button brakes. Holding this button also builds a speed boost, so the general strategy is to brake-slide around corners then let go to boost before you slow to a stop.

Kirby Air Riders feels like the epitome of a 22-year-old game, but it may even play better with a GameCube controller.
