I play games on emulators, I was playing the 1999 version of CTR and hmmm it’s way better than Mario kart 64 or Double Dash on GameCube from a gameplay mechanics, fun, enjoyability perspective. Anyone else think so?

I suppose it depends heavily on nostalgia.
I have no attachment to Nintendo brands nor Mario Kart in particular. My sister bought a Mario Kart Wii game a few years back and I didn’t care much for it. Having grown up with CTR on PS1, and Spyro and Crash as platformers, I immensely enjoyed the remake.
I like how the kart handles, and the turbo mechanic is a lot of fun and has a lot of depth. But I suppose that MK fans have other things they enjoy from their franchise.
Let me add that Mario kart is fun. I just feel CTR was more engaging
CTR had much more depth.
CTR also rewarded you for understanding the mechanics more. Some boost pads gave you a boost with a higher top speed (blue flame). If you knew how to maintain a boost, you could maintain that blue-flame boost indefinitely.
It’s just that to do that you had to hit nearly every boost pad, triple boost at nearly every corner, and avoid all the obstacles (including touching walls). It’s hard to maintain it, but even maintaining it for a little bit can really launch you towards the front.
