The findings emerge in a world enraptured by artificial forms of intelligence, and they could teach us something about how complex circuits in our own brains evolved. Perhaps most importantly, they could help us step “away from the idea that we are the best creatures in the world,” said Niklas Kempynck, a graduate student at KU Leuven who led one of the studies. “We are not this optimal solution to intelligence.” Birds got there too, on their own.

A new Mario Kart is usually built around some kind of notable feature. Double Dash added co-op play, while the DS iteration let you play other people online. With Mario Kart 8, it was gravity-defying tracks and, later, the idea of expanding the game through DLC courses. With Mario Kart World, perhaps the biggest launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, there isn’t one single innovation that sets it apart.

Mario Kart 8 and its Deluxe update have been around so long it's easy to forget that the game actually predates the Switch and can trace its origins way back to the Wii U.

Ever since Lego started doing Mario sets, the brick maker has juked where many, many Nintendo fans would perhaps just preferred that they jived. The Super Mario line championed an electronically-enhanced, play-forward modular design series over traditional playsets, and even the company’s one-off builds for adult collectors themed themselves around elaborate model-making over minifigures. When fans expected them to do the same with this year’s Mario Kart sub-line, Lego surprised again, making a
