I'm going to make it clear right now. I can't stand this game. I can't stand how people act like this was one of the definitive racing games in the era it was in. Playing through all the cups on every CC was suffering. I didn't like it back when I had it on the Wii VC and I still don't enjoy it at all.
The controls just don't feel good, the AI are such cheaters and it's not even funny how awful it is. I'm sure it's just as bad in some other games but it feels the worst here. The items are also atrocious here, a lot of them just don't work well like red shells hitting walls and green shells being slow making you hit your own shells most of the time. Some tracks are just awful like mirror Toad's Turnpike or Rainbow Road in general. Nintendo doesn't even bother to implement the Ghost Data system in later rereleases of this game even on NSO. It's a shame because the OST is one of the best I've ever heard in a game but the game itself is something I never want to play again. Also I used Wario and Toad in this game if anyone curious who I used.
