A fun racing game with wacky characters. It has more depth than Mario Kart but I find that the characters have less charm than they did in the PS1/PS2 era. I'm not as interested in these characters as compared to Mario Kart and the items in this game are less interesting too. The story mode in terms of narrative is nothing to write home about, essentially the bare minimum to justify the Kart theme of the game. Overall though it is a very competent kart racing game and if you're looking for a more skill-based, more in-depth kart racer than Mario Kart I would suggest this game. (The people who play online are really good.)
