I think you guys were a bit harsh on this masterpiece. (Is there a higher rating than that?) This is perf
Customizing karts was great too. I like the Golden wheels + Blue Seven + Paraglider! May not be fastest, but definitely coolest! The gliding was fun to do. I always was able to come up with quick shortcuts by using the glider just to pass first. The character selection had a heap of great characters, like Metal Mario from the Smash Bros Series and Super Mario 64 made a comeback, and even the hottest girl I've ever seen in a video game- Rosalina. (I swear, I would marry her if I had to go to space and jump off Mars and back to the Earth) I loved the items, especially the 7 Power up, I would always blow past the first place guys and then assault everyone behind me with that power-up. I liked the ability to play as a Mii, so you can create it, and use any character you want. I always wanted to race as Shigeru Miyamoto in a Mario Kart game. But every since the Wii- I could. It's happy to see this on the 3DS.
With a load of courses, karts, and characters, you will never get bored of this perfect video game. Apparently Gamespot disapprove of 10 star ratings, (I rated it 10, and it said please enter a score. DANG IT!) so I must rate it 9.5. This game is truly PERFECTION.
