This gets a knock down solely because of the D-pad controls making my thumb raw. As for the game itself, I personally don't love it as much as everyone else does. The unlockables are good, and I'm glad they started including Retro courses (though I don't factor them into the score), but the Nitro courses are complete coin tosses, and I think most are misses for me. Some greats, like Waluigi Pinball (obviously) and Shroom Ridge, but even if a course isn't explicitly bad, I just find that a lot of them are just bland. Impressive for a DS game, but I'm not huge on it. Still good, though.
