Very average game with a team play focus

This title is something that on paper sounds like it could be a load of fun, with stages being based on popular stages of varied titles of the franchise. (Albiet so many of them are just taken from all-star racing, which i find to be a superior game mechanically anyway)

Roster: It's incredibly small. Each racer has their own stats that you can modify by getting parts from a gacha machine when you have earned enough tokens as well as these chars being put into different classes. What makes the roster so small, annoying as a bit of a nitpick, is that when you play with bots, you will just see many of the same characters racing around.

Team play: The game's focus is on the idea that you will have a team of 3 and will work together to retain a high position in the race, to add up each member's individual points to decide their final overall position. The way the team can work together is in a varied of ways, such as using a slingshot by following a teammate's trail to give yourself a boost or even passing over items that you feel someone further back can utilize. This however is not fully engaging when playing with AI because you can't communicate and they won't communicate back and will just know when you may need an item etc. The idea of team play too is not going to really be utilized compared to just a single race when playing with friends too.

I don't really have anything else to say about the game because it's nothing extraordinary either in terms of what stands out but overall I don't see myself going back to this game to race a friend anytime soon.
