Mario Kart is a very nostalgic game series for the Super Mario franchise itself. You pick your driver, select a cup and then it's off to the races. And you have lots of track themes to race through. But that's the thing. The theming of the gameplay. And this is where Mario Kart Wii comes in.
Enter Mario Kart for Wii back in 2008. It's another Mario Kart for the newly arrived Nintendo Wii which includes new items, bikes, and even the tricking system. This is where things turn, because unlike any MK game like this one, it has this feeling of you being near something dangerous. Honestly, this makes me want to be in first of the positions. As if something behind is active. And this game is mostly relatable to Super Mario 64, with it's motion controls to 3D. The Wii Wheel was for making it like you're actually driving a vehicle, right? Well not to liminal spaces, but to the atmosphere. The ambience is what caught me during my childhood. Mostly retro tracks are ok when it's there, but the new nitro ones kind of tell a story. Take Daisy looking at Toad at the credits picture, and go to Mario Kart 7 and the two first courses are Toad Circuit and Daisy Hills. Not only that but the development of Mario Kart Wii is intriguing to see. Did you know that Dry Dry Ruins was going to be upside-down at first? Maybe something north was happening! Or the fact that Mii Outfit C was scrapped? (It's basically a Toad/Toadette suit.) But anyways, one theme in the whole game stands out to me the first time I heard it. The mission Boss theme, or Galaxy Colosseum for short. It has this space-like sound to it with rock and roll near the end. And believe me, some space sounds can be terrifying. And also, it's the last map of the game.
Now let's move on to my reactions. After this stuff hit me, I started driving like any other player but more cautious, but I already know there's not any AI thing hidden in the game's code, but even though. The drivers move randomly on the road. You never know what's gonna happen. Next, I didn't want to, but I started having nightmares of the game and Colosseum. Just like people have some of SM64. It's either the other drivers chasing me around a track or something bad happened and I have to pause the game. But the most terrifying thing was a countdown to shut the Wii off. Sometimes in one dream, it would do that. The other, it wouldn't, and power on by itself. Anti-piracy screen videos on Youtube might explain what dreams I had.
Wet-Dry World is a level in Super Mario 64 with the abandoned town, and gives a story of its own. DK Summit is kinda like Choco Mountain with the fog and easygoing music (They're both note G), but both have that sense of you not supposed to be there. Even if Summit is a snowboard cross, what about the fog? And Galaxy Colosseum takes place on a top kind of panel with Spiky Topmen to attack. No crowd there!
But anyways, this is the one MK game that gives me caution.

It's to white with the summit being away from the log cabins. And up there, there's not that many spectators.
