CHOO CHOO! The hype train is flying off the rails faster than Doc Brown’s new time machine at the end of Back to the Future Part III, and Nick and Mira are here with their final pre-Switch 2 episode covering Mario Kat DS, Mario Kart Wii, and Mario Kart 7.

Be sure to stick around for the last half hour—or don’t—to hear the Newcomer and Nutcase devolve into a slap-happy delirium over old hat and Mushroom George. Ah, the joys of extreme sleep deprivation!

Finally, get in those DK lore questions and theories ahead of our pre-Bananza deep dive into Donkey’s absurd timeline.

Are your hype engines REVVED TO THE MAX for Mario Kart World? Regardless of your answer to that question, you simply cannot find a better way to pass the time while waiting for the Switch 2 than by listening to this episode of what very well may (or may not) be your new favorite podcast.

What does the Newcomer think of the first four games in the series given her Mario Kart baseline is 8 Deluxe? Why is the Nutcase so unreasonably harsh on the Rainbow Road music from Super Circuit? (It’s a good song, you buffoon!) And should Yoshis really accept taxation without representation? All of that and so much more on this episode of The Switch 2 Ludic Lore Cast!

Finally: Don’t forget to send in your questions, comments, or theories about any deep Donkey lore ahead of our Donkey Kong timeline episode. Trust us—that discussion is going to be bananza!

The Switch 2 hype train is careening towards June 5th at a velocity that’s making Sonic blush even harder than he does when looking up fanart of himself, so let’s zip down the tracks with this beefcake of an episode covering all manner of Switch 2 accoutrements.

If you want to hear about how a former president vomiting on a foreign dignitary jeopardized a 75 million dollar-deal, Nintendo’s crackpot legal theory keeping them out of a dispute with wheelchair sporting association, and a ranked list of every Nintendo launch lineup that somehow lurches into ravine of lunacy without ever recovering, you’ve come to the right place.

And if you don’t want to hear about those things, you’ve still come to the right place! After all, what’s a few hours of drivel between friends?

Plus! Stick around to the very end as the Nutcase and Newcomer break down the harrowing tale that led to this 1.5 month delay between episodes. Hint: It involves Nick getting an organ cut out of his belly in a foreign country. If you’re a family member or friend who came to this episode just to hear that story, jump ahead to 3:04:45 for the full saga in all of its bizarre glory.
