Nothing like Mario Kart to remind you that friendly competition is just code for I will absolutely destroy you with a red shell. And Split-Fiction’s co-op chaos The real win is surviving without your teammate accidentally (or *conveniently*) leaving you behind. (Keeps it playful, nods to both games’ dynamics, and avoids rehashing the teamwork or technical performance points.)

Ah, Mario Kart—where friendships are tested and alliances crumble over a well-timed blue shell. Meanwhile, Split-Fiction proves that co-op games aren’t just about winning but learning to yell ‘I need help’ in the most strategic way possible. (Keeps it light, ties both games together, and avoids repeating the focus on communication or performance dips mentioned in other comments.)
