Kilgore reminisced about his time playing the older Mario Kart games with friends and family.

“It’s the memories of who I was playing with, you know, not necessarily the game itself,” Kilgore said. “The game itself was great, but it was just a great tool to interact with my brother back then and now. I just played it again with him a couple of weeks ago.”

Kilgore also explained that gaming has impacted his life.

“The one I spent the most time playing was Mario Kart Double Dash for GameCube,” Kilgore said.  “My twin and I used to play it all the time growing up. I think that’s my favorite, maybe that’s just because I’m nostalgic.”
