Balaton 2025 – Press ‘START’ for Mario MotoGP
byMat Oxley & Peter Bom
Wa-hoo! It's Mario ̶K̶a̶r̶t̶ MotoGP, where chaos reigns on a brand new track with more turns that Rainbow Road. This is very exciting, much like falling down the stairs is a thrilling experience.
Who knows, maybe next year we'll see Marc Marquéz being chased by Blue Shells!
If it sounds like we're grumpy this week, it's probably because there's nothing more frustrating than an interesting failure. Is Balaton really this bad? Yes, and that's because it's doing the right things in all the wrong places. Like certain video games, it's giving us so much to do that actual racing becomes an afterthought.
If all of the above sounds confusing, then that's probably because I should just let Mat and Peter explain it.
So come with us as we grab our controllers, pick our characters, and…LET'S-A-GO!
