10/10 The part where Garfield said "It's Garfielding time" and then proceeded to Garfield all over the place was truly one of the most emotional moments in all of gaming. I am now going to spend the rest of eternity playing this game.

When I was 18... 18 years old, I saw for the first time in my life... I saw an image of clarity. I saw a comic strip... a three panel comic strip that, though simple as it seemed, changed me... changed my being, changed who I am... Made me who I am... Enlightened me... The strip, Garfield, the comic strip was new... no more than maybe a month and a half since inception, since... since coming into existence... and there it was before me in print, I saw it... a comic strip... What was it called? Garfield. The story here is of a man, a plain man. He is Jon, but he is more than that... I will get to this later, but first let us say that he's Jon, a plain man. And then there is a cat... Garfield. This is the nature of the world, here. When I see the world, the politics, the future, the... the satellites in space, and... the people who put them there... You can look at everything as a man and a cat... two beings, in harmony and at war... So, this strip I saw; this man, Jon, and the cat, Garfield, you see... Yes... hmm... It is about everything. This... little comic is, oh, lo and behold... not so little anymore. So yes, when I was 18, I saw this comic... and it hit me all at once, its power. I clipped it, and every day, I looked at it, and I said "Okay... let me look at this here. What is this doing to me? Why is this so powerful?" Jon Arbuckle, he sits here, legs crossed... comfortable in his home, and he reads his newspaper... The news of the world, perhaps... and then he extends his fingers lightly, delicately... he taps his fingers on an end table, and he feels for something... What is it? It is something he needs, but it is not there. And then he looks up, slightly cockeyed, and he thinks... His newspaper's in his lap now, and he thinks this... Now where could my pipe be? This... I always come to this, because I was a young man... I'm older now, and I still don't have the secrets, the answers, so this question still rings true, Jon looks up and he thinks... Now where could my pipe be? And then it happens... You see it, you see... it's almost like divine intervention, suddenly it is there, and it overpowers you... A cat is smoking a pipe. It is the man's pipe, it's Jon's pipe, but the cat... this cat, Garfield, is smoking the pipe... and from afar, and someplace near, but not clear... near but not clear... The man calls out... Jon calls out, he is shocked. "Garfield!" he shouts. Garfield. The cat's name. But, let's take a step back... let us examine this from all sides, all perspectives... and when I first came across this comic strip, I was at my father's house... a newspaper had arrived, and I picked it up for him, and brought it inside. I organized its sections for him and then, yes, the comic strip section fell out from somewhere in the middle, and landed on the kitchen floor... I picked up the paper pages and saw, up somewhere near the top of this strip... just like Jon, I was wearing an aquamarine shirt. So I thought, "Ah, interesting. I'll have to see this later." I snipped out the little comic, and held on to it... and five days later, I reexamined it... and it gripped me, I needed to find out more about this. The information I had was minimal, but enough... An orange cat named Garfield... Okay, that seemed to be the lynchpin of this whole operation, yes. Another clue... a signature in the bottom right corner, a man's name... Jim Davis. Yes, I'm on to it for sure. So... one: Garfield, orange cat, and two: Jim Davis, the creator of this cat... And that curiously plain man. I did not know, at the time, that his name was Jon. This strip, you see, had no mention of this man's name, and I'd never seen it before. But I had these clues; Jim Davis, Garfield. And then I saw more, I spotted the tiny copyright mark in the upper left corner. Copyright 1978 to... what is this? Copyright belongs to a... PAWS Incorporated... I use the local library and mail services to track down the information I was looking for... Jim Davis, a cartoonist, had created a comic strip about a cat, Garfield... and a man, Jon Arbuckle. Well, from that point on, I made sure I read the Garfield comic strips, though as I read each one, as each day passed... the strips seemed to resonate with me less and less... I sent letters to PAWS Incorporated, long letters, pages upon pages... asking if Mister Jim Davis could somehow publish just the one comic, over and over again... "It would be meditative," I wrote, "the strength of that." Could you imagine? But... no response... The strips lost their power, and eventually I stopped reading, but... I did not want my perceptions diluted, so I vowed to read the pipe strip over and over again... That is what I call it, "The Pipe Strip." The Pipe Strip. Everything about it is perfect. I can only describe it as a miracle creation, something came together... the elements aligned... It is like the comets, the cosmic orchestra that is up there over your head... The immense, enormous void is working all for one thing, to tell you one thing... Gas and rock, and purity, and nothing. I will say this... When I see the pipe strip... and I mean every single time I look at the lines, the colors, the shapes that make up the three panel comic... I see perfection. Do I find perfection in many things? Some things, I would say... Some things are perfect... and this is one of them. I can look at the little tuft of hair on Jon Arbuckle's head... it is the perfect shade... The purple pipe in Garfield's mouth... How could a mere mortal even MAKE this? I have a theory, about Jim Davis... After copious research and, yes, of course, now we have the internet, and this information is all readily available, but... Jim Davis, he used his life experiences to influence his comic... Like I mentioned before, none of them seem to have the weight of the pipe strip... But you have to wonder about the man who is able to even, just once, create the perfect form, a literally flawless execution of art, brilliance! Just as in a ward... I think there is a spiritual element at work... I've seen my share of bad times and... when you have something... Well, it's just... emotions, and neurons in your brain, but... something tells you that it's the truth... Truth's radiant light. Garfield, the cat? Neurons in my brain, it's... it's harmony, you see? It... Jon and Garfield, it's truly harmony, like a... continuous, looping, everlasting harmony... The lavender chair, the brown end table, the salmon-colored wall, the fore's green carpeting, Garfield is hunched, perched... perhaps with the pipe stuck firmly between his jowls... His tail curls around. It's more than shapes too, because... I... Okay, stay with me... I've done this experiment several times. You take the strip. You trace only the basic elements. You can do anything, you can simplify the shapes down to just... blobs, just outlines, but it still makes sense... You can replace the blobs with magazine cutouts of other things, replace Jon Arbuckle with a... car parked in a driveway sideways, cut that out of a magazine, stick it in... Replace him there in the second panel with a... a food processor... Okay, and then we put a picture of the planet in the third panel over Garfield... It still works. These are universal proportions. I don't know... how best to explain why it works, I've studied the pipe strip, and analyzed Jon and Garfield's proportions against several universal mathematical constants. E, Pi, the Golden Ratio, the Feigenbaum Constants, and so on... and it's surprising... scary even, how things align. You can take just... tiny pieces of the pipe strip, for instance, take Jon's elbow from the second panel... and take that, and project it back over Jon's entire shape in the second panel, and you'll see a near perfect Fibonacci sequence emerge... It's eerie to me... and it makes you wonder if you're in the presence of a deity, if there is some larger hand at work... Th

the best game i have ever played in my life. the music, the visuals, the game play, absolutely breath taking. i dont think i've ever loved a game more than this. this game is truly one of a kind and i highly recommend playing it. it brings me to tears every time i see the game opening up. whenever life gets hard, i just think of the joys garfield kart brings to me, the rush of emotions, my despair washing away as this masterpiece opens up. The vibrant tracks - each more mind-bending than the last - brought me to realms i never thought possible. I bought the game thinking it was just another garfield game, but by lap 2, i was gripping my controller with great intensity. This game has taught me so much, like patience when Nermal overtook me at the last second, it taught me that even in the most ridiculous moments, there is beauty. If i were to describe this game in a single word, it would be "transcendent", as i entered the game as a mere mortal seeking entertainment from my favourite fat orange cat, and came out as a philosopher, pondering the fabric of reality. Garfield kart tore apart everything i knew about the universe and rebuilt it with lasagna and garfields. If you were to play only one game in your lifetime, it should be garfield kart. If you do play this game, prepare to feel the depth of your life in ways you never thought possible.

I never thought a casual kart racing game would have such a profound impact on my life, but here I am, writing about how *Garfield Kart*—yes, *Garfield Kart*—saved me. A few months ago, I was in a dark place. Life had become a monotonous routine, filled with stress and anxiety. Every day felt like a race I couldn't win. I was constantly overwhelmed, struggling to find joy in anything. That's when I stumbled upon *Garfield Kart*. It seemed like a silly, lighthearted game—a much-needed escape. From the moment I launched the game, I was greeted by the familiar faces of Garfield, Odie, Jon, and the rest of the gang. The quirky characters, colorful tracks, and upbeat music were exactly what I needed. But it wasn't just the nostalgia that drew me in; it was the simplicity and charm of the game itself. There were no high stakes, no complex mechanics—just good old-fashioned fun. As I started playing, I found myself smiling for the first time in weeks. The races were a delightful mix of challenge and whimsy. I laughed at Garfield's sarcastic quips and cheered when I managed to outsmart Odie with a well-timed lasagna boost. Each race became a small victory, a reminder that life didn't always have to be so serious. What truly set *Garfield Kart* apart was the way it brought me back to the present moment. In those races, I wasn't worrying about the future or dwelling on the past. I was simply immersed in the game, focused on the next turn, the next jump, the next item box. It was a form of mindfulness I hadn't experienced in a long time. As the days went by, I noticed a shift in my mindset. The game had become a daily ritual, a little pocket of joy I could rely on. It reminded me that even in the midst of chaos, there could be moments of lightheartedness. Slowly but surely, *Garfield Kart* helped me reconnect with the things that made me happy, rekindling a sense of playfulness I'd long forgotten. In a world where everything felt out of control, *Garfield Kart* gave me something simple yet powerful: the ability to smile, to laugh, to enjoy the moment. It may not be the most groundbreaking game, but for me, it was a lifeline—a reminder that sometimes, the simplest things can have the biggest impact. So, thank you, *Garfield Kart*. You didn't just save me from a blue shell; you helped save me from myself.
