Mods or Modifications have always existed in video games much to the chagrin of all hardware and software producers. Nintendo suffers from mods made to their games as do Playstation and Xbox. However, the age-old debate of whether modding is bad or good has always depended on which side of the fence one has been on: casual game user or official game producer.
Official game producers more or less dislike modding, whether it’s because some players use it to cheat in games that require some grinding, which is the way the developer designed it, so modding it to make it easier deems the game useless or because some fans actually prefer free mods as to paid downloadable content made available by the companies, biting into their profits and sales. Whatever the reason is modding is a constant thorn in the side of gaming companies.
Mario Kart mods are also available on the giant and unending marvel that is the internet. Whether it’s for cheats to do better in the race, more accessories for your carts, or even funky costumes and characters to add some more uniqueness to the game. They exist and have been here ever since the original game has.
Where do you stand on the issue of modding Mario Kart? Do you have a copy of a modded version of the game? Does it make Mario Kart more enjoyable or less? We would love to hear from you.
