DAY 23: Favorite Racing Game
There were a few potentials for this - Super Mario Kart (the SNES one) for the popularization of the entire kart racing genre, Sonic R for its painfully earworm music and TAILS DOLL, the Initial D arcade game for goddamn eurobeat and a nice control scheme.
In the end, though, it comes down to Air Ride. Remember how you loved all of the stuff in Super Smash Brothers Brawl so much? The checklist format of unlocking achievements, the simple controls, the giant *fuckoff* attack that was the Dragoon? All of those were in Kirby's Air Ride.
I'll admit. It's not a HARD game to play. Hell, it's practically on rails - there is no 'accelerator', and no speed management, in turn, aside from "go" and "don't go", and unlike most racing games, the default is to "go". Your single button serves triple duty - it works as a dual brake/power charge, allowing the game's only cornering mechanism, and it lets your Kirby use his powers - the ones that are triggered, as opposed to continuous.
It's not the most deep racer in existance, but it's a hell of a lot of fun, ESPECIALLY when you have friends around. Also, the music is fantastical.
