This's pretty much the only Mario Kart game that's straight-up outclassed by another, that being 8. At the time this game was really cool besides the lame roster, but nowadays it's really hard to go back to. In any case, the quality of this game on its own is good, but I'd argue that it's far less worth playing nowadays than either of its two predecessors.
It’s a fun game. Has new mechanics and new graphics. It doesn’t feel revolutionary compared to the DS version though, I feel like it’s the worse handheld kart game. Even so, its still a great game on its own.
Overall, this is a great karting game, and a must play for karting fans even if the DS version is better. 8.5/10, 4.5/5
