On one hand, they added some great characters, a handful of banger tracks, re-balanced characters and karts to finally kill WaluWiggler, and killed item bagging.
On the other hand, god most of these tracks are awful. Using giant red arrows to tell you where to go, block off paths, and instantly Lakitu you if you touch them is not a valid replacement for a solid track design. The city tracks have far too aggressive Lakitu in general beyond just the arrows. All of the city tracks are trash. Piranha Plant Cove is cool aesthetically but the arrows ruin it, the more I play it the less I like it. They add such a nothing track like Toad Circuit instead of any of the 3DS bangers still missing. SO many mid tracks while greats are MIA still.
