Everyone is playing Baby Blooper in Mario Kart World, and it’s a bummer
For some people, Mario Kart World is a nonstop cow party. For others, it’s a slow stroll that’s periodically interrupted by lightning strikes. But based on the emerging “meta” for Mario Kart World, the open-world kart competition has been diminished into a droll series of clones. If you’re in the know, you’re probably playing with a light character steering the Baby Blooper kart.
I get it. People want to win, and supposedly, this is the way. Tier lists and influencers insist that the colorless vehicle is, if not the best, then one of the superior possible picks in Mario Kart World. It doesn’t reach a high speed, but it has good acceleration and more importantly, it’s a light car that handles decently. Light characters and heavy characters alike fare well with the Baby Blooper.
It’s also sad to know that this is one of the most diverse Mario Karts we’ve ever gotten, but you wouldn’t know it from the lobbies. Mostly, you’re going to see baby characters and the occasional small NPC, all largely driving the same thing.
