This week on the podcast it's Super Maro Kart: the game that NOT ONLY started a brand new genre, but busted open the trend of placing traditional gaming mascots TOGETHER in a non-platformer!

It's a massive game to focus on, but we wanted to show it some love due to the fact that it was an ominous no-show on IGN's recent list of their Top 100 Games of All Time. Plus, with the recent rumours around Mario Kart 9 / Nintendo Kart, the timing couldn't be better!

But before we start hucking bananas at each other, we take some time to discuss Andrew's playthrough of Horizon: Zero Dawn, Mikey's terrifying hunt of the haunted in Phasmophobia, and our favourite Kart games of all time!

Plus: we understand why small Victorian children are so popular as ghostly representations... but what about LARGE Victorian children?
