NYC POLL: Mamdani approval rating drops 8% after picking Mario in Mario Kart

"There are so many better characters to choose from. You get to play as Mario in every other Mario game."

"Really regretting my vote now."

"Upon loading the menu, his kart was NOT at the default settings. He purposefully adjusted each kart, wheel, and glider setting to have all of the standard, boring kart settings."

"It's really hard to put my faith in a mayor that has clearly NEVER played the most popular installment in the Mario Kart franchise."

"He didnt even press the "+" button to look at his vehicle stats. He left all the default settings on, Including auto steering and auto Acceleration. Thoughtless gameplay turns into thoughtless policy."

"It was endearing to see the Mayor choose Toads Turnpike as a stage because he loves Buses, but Mamdani did not know how to trick off of ramps for a speed boost, so I cannot relate to him anymore."

"I was really hoping he would play as Toadette"

"Andrew Cuomo would've known the timing for a Speed Boost at the start of the race"
