2019: saw “kart 2” in my youtube recommendations, watched it, downloaded the game, got gold in all the time trials up to toxic palace, stopped playing out of frustration.
2020: picked it back up, beat toxic palace, beat the rest of the gold times, raced around the track solo for a few months until i finally worked up the courage to go online…
(apparently i didn’t start playing online until after september?!)
december 2020: sonicsona
february 2021: that frontrunning video, and then i slowly moved on…
the transition from 1.3 to 1.6 also killed a lot of my interest in the game, not just for the trivial changes (they removed the ability to roll for a hell map! they killed the aurora atoll skip for good!) but also because moe mansion didn’t port their additional feature changes past 1.3 and it took a really long time to get galaxy working on my system.
i think that transition fractured the playerbase quite a bit… not only the players but all the server owners had to update to 1.4,and then 1.5, and then 1.6, and then was there still going to be more updates needed?! are we good now? have things finally settled? i remember mocha refusing to update her servers past 1.3 for a good while, fueled in part by disagreements about the changes but also because that would just add more work to her and mel’s and the other ops’ plates with no guarantee that they wouldn’t have to redo it all a week later.
and then Ring Racers (2024) came out and decimated it for good, somehow taking out both games in the process.
Notes
#4. Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart (2018)
Years ago, you fell for someone who captured your heart and imagination – someone who gave you a dream.
sometimes a game just feels right to play, you know?
Link to original
you dial in the controls just the way you want and then the act of flowing through the tracks provides the joy itself.
at least, that’s my only explanation for why over half of the time i’ve spent in this game has been spent playing solo: no cpu, nobody else, just me and the course ahead of me.
maybe i should buy a motorcycle.
