I'm really giving this game the benefit of the doubt since it can be a lot of fun when playing on original hardware with an original controller with an original human. I only really mention that cause I feel like playing this on something like NSO or Virtual Console just kind of leaves you wondering why you're playing super Mario kart instead of a good Mario kart game that you can just play there. It's fun for a cup or two, but there's some really bullshit things like that one ice track where you keep driving into blocks that halt you, along with the really weird drifting.

Starting with the positives, this game has some of the best movement I’ve ever seen in a 3D platformer. Really smooth and fluent. There are a lot of bullshit shines, but I really do find it fun to get most of them. It’s not on the Super Mario Galaxy tier, and gets completely washed by that game’s creativity and gameplay, but it’s a fun game to beat every year or so. If this game was starring Scrimblo Bimbo you guys would say it’s the best game of all time and a hidden gem
