There are a lot of fantastic things in this game, but in the end I feel like there were some improvements to be made. This could've been way better. First thing is first, the color in this game hurt my eyes. It's so vibrant and there isn't detail so you're staring at a pale blue TV screen which isn't great. The graphics themselves are fine for the 90s but there could've been more detail. Kirby's Adventure has more detail and they came out in the same year. Another issue I had is in the finale, you're supposed to believe that after all the beating and banging with the final racer, you lose most of your upgrades but he's perfectly fine. My last complaint is that the ending gives a conclusion to the game, but it never sets anything up to get to the ending or setting up any story at all. It's so up in the air. It's ending could've been something related to a championship instead of the route they went in. Other than that it's a fun game. I like upgrading the boat after each race and the increasing difficulty with the competitors is good. I think the game runs pretty smoothly and I didn't find many wonky controls except for one repeating area in the races. It's not anything terrible though. Each of the tracks are fun to race on with the fun obstacles and sharp turns. It's an easy game to binge-play. If you like retro racing games I'd recommend plaything this.
