oh, Mario Kart Tour is out, let's see how quickly I'll uninstall it for being completely unplayable without paying
update: it's just unplayable, it crashes before any gameplay happens

ah, right, it's a Nintendo game, it probably detects root, what a pain
Mario Kart Tour vs SuperTux Kart
a joke review
controls: I vastly prefer SuperTux Kart because whatever the fuck they're trying in Mario Kart Tour isn't working
graphics: SuperTux Kart looks like ass, let's move on
monetization: SuperTux Kart is free, Mario Kart Tour is designed to suck up as much money it can get.
do I wanna play it: that's a no for both, I have MK8D on my Switch which is an actually good kart game
characters would be another interesting category, and a close one. While Mario Kart obviously has a bunch of really memorable and cool characters from the Mario series, SuperTux Kart has timeless characters like the GNU, Tux and Heck, I didn't know the mouse from XFCE had a name!
and who could forget Sara (Racer) and Sara (Magician), two distinct and memorable characters *gets forcibly logged off Mastodon*
update: it's still unplayable, since it wants to download what I assume is the actual game after I've cleared the tutorial, and that's been going for a while
during the time I've already wasted with this game I could've probably downloaded Mariokart 64 and Retroarch and played that
update: I'm pretty sure it hung while downloading, so now I'm downloading again
okay, it managed to resume the download, that's good
Okay, one quick venture into Magisk Manager to turn on Magisk Hide, let's see if this is better than the Android port of SuperTuxKart, which is a pretty low bar to clear
