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
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
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
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
