Everything but Mario Kart 8.
 
I'd say Double Dash had the best battle mode, the courses were great except Block City and there was Shine Thief and Bob-omb Blast. Wii had an alright battle system, but it WAS WAY TO SLOW. Also I didn't like how we had the choice of only the standard kart and standard bike. I also liked 64's battle mode.
 
I can't say for the ones that I haven't played but I enjoyed all the Battle Modes from the ones that I have played.
 
DS's shine runners mode was dumb, though it's balloon battle was the shit

but anyways I enjoyed all of the ones I played except for the aforementioned shine runners

You insulted Mario Kart Wiis amazing Battle Mode. Why?
 
It's not an insult, it's my opinion.

Anyway, Mario Kart Wii's Battle Mode was a bit slow for my tastes, and I hated how they forced you into teams for them unless you played offline or something.

"Insulted"? Nope.
It's called "opinions", and many people have them, like yourself.
 
Mario Kart 7 > Mario Kart 8 > Mario Kart Wii > Mario Kart DS > The rest.

The rest sucked because, even with a twin to play with, we prefer to go in teams, so the remaining battle modes are by far the most boring.

Mind you, I spend more time battling than racing, so that's saying something.
 
The ones before DS, we don't give a ---ing damn about

Now my favorite is 7's battle mode, but I enjoy the rest EXCEPT anything Double Dash and before without those bots
 
DS is the best because since you have 5 ballons, the battle is longer. The number of ballons you have influence the item system you get. And it's survival.
Wii and 7 are good too, but 7 is a bit better because it can be free for all in online mode.
All the others are boring.
 
Survival mode sucks because it just draws out matches, especially if all 8/12 characters are participating. This is the reason I didn't like Block Fort in Mario Kart DS.

Besides, you get more opportunities to beat up your hated characters and deny them points.
 
I like the Mario kart 64 Battle Mode because you could hide/escape from the other playerand then attack them. And the sounds made it good.
