13 Memes You’ll Love If You’re Playing A Lot Of ‘Mario Kart’ Right Now
There are two different types of people in isolation: those who are sticking to a routine, eating healthy, keeping up with workouts, and still sleeping well. Then there are the others, who maybe only have one semi-achievable goal to see them until the end of this pandemic such as “finally nail Rainbow Road on Mario Kart.”
There’s something about the coronavirus pandemic that has us craving nostalgia more than usual. It may be by rewatching your fave ’00s shows, or downloading The Sims again, or even reinstalling Snapchat (if that counts as being nostalgic now). And of course, old gaming consoles are being dusted off and pulled out like they were never forgotten about in the first place.
One of the greatest classic games of our time is Mario Kart. I found my old Wii recently — that probably hasn’t seen daylight in a few years — and I’ve been back practicing racing courses (as Peach, of course) as though I never had a break.
So if you’ve reignited your love for Mario Kart recently, these memes and tweets will speak to your soul:

Remember in Mario Kart when you thought you were in first place? Then realized you were looking at the wrong screen and crashing into walls and shit..
That’s adulthood….
