Good
- graphics look great. Tracks look beautiful, which makes racing exillerating visually.
- smart steering is good for casual players, and kids.
- tricks are fun to do. Ramps were nicely placed to string in multiple trick boosts.
- 200cc introduces drift braking which adds a new dimension to the gameplay.
- a lot of car parts.
- blue shell counter is a great addition.
- you recover more quickly when falling off which keeps the pace.
Bad
- unwanted speed boosts from collision with opponents. It makes me fall off the edge sometimes in 200cc. It's completely out of my control because the opponent comes from behind.
- fat characters block my view sometimes
- no way to practice tracks in 200cc tracks. Only option is to split screen, which is lame.
- no button remap makes 200cc awkward, since I have to use Y to accelerate to feel comfortable, but it also requires rewiring. Remap would have been easy fix.
- smart steering should've been off by default. I did the first 7 cups without knowing it was on.
