The track selection is excellent as are the totally remade retro tracks, kart customization is great, the character roster is pretty good and the gameplay is really solid and fun. But the game unfortunately gets rid of quite a few mechanics and design choices that make Mario Kart Wii so great. This game feels a lot more strict. Like you can't even drive the wrong way for more than 2 seconds before the game forces you back the other way? What the heck, Nintendo?

Also the way you unlock everything by just completing cups and earning coins is super boring. And they got rid of Wiggler. WHAT THE HECK, Nintendo?
