Pros:
+ One of the best soundtracks in a Mario Kart game
+ Excellent tracks, including in Battle Mode
+ Pretty good motion controls
+ Adds bikes that play very differently from karts
+ One of the hardest Mario Karts to 100%, which adds playability
+ Funky Kong 😍
Cons:
- Bikes are overpowered in comparison to karts
- Art style hasn't aged very well
- You lose your item from almost everything, which can be really frustrating especially when trying to comeback. Falling, getting blued, shocked, squished or stomped by Mega Mushroom, all of these make you lose your item
- Item balance in general is lackluster as you can get multiples of the same item in a row and even get Bullet Bill very early on in the race
