Even with an analog stick to guide your turning, this game doesn't feel much different than Super Mario Kart. The drift is ENORMOUS to the point where I got used to how far my turns would ride and I let that become part of my racing instincts.

I played a lot of this game when I was a kid but that was mostly deathmatch so there wasn't a lot of nostalgia on this run through all four cups. This improves on the first Mario Kart game in that the tracks are a lot better. I mean, they're actually in 3D for one thing, but they are pretty great tracks with lots of room and verticality. They're downright definitive!

The music is pretty good too. I'd say this is a nice game to check out if you got a little spare time, but I'm sure the more recent Mario Kart games are a lot better.
