Remarkably better than Super Mario Kart; this game has a jammin' soundtrack, responsive controls that perfectly suit its relatively fast pace, and even three decades later it still has a solid sense of visual style.

That's not to say it's perfect. The way the AI-cars can ricochet into you and easily derail your race feels excessively brutal, there are moments of level design that similarly feel surprisingly harsh (the jump in White Land 2 is heinous), and you can see almost all the content the game has to offer within an hour or two. Still, holds up much more solidly than I expected.
