Endless fun
What's great about this game is that there are unique karts designed for each character, each with unique stats that affect the gameplay greatly, which is a big difference from the other ones, making this game a lot more fun.
Another great thing is all of the karts and characters there are to unlock. It can take some time to unlock all of the characters, karts, and cups in the game.
Even after you've done that, the game continues to entertain you. The gameplay never gets old, especially since you can experiment with new combinations of characters, each of which have unique special items that only they can use. Plus, the game always gives you a challenge.
Every track in the game is unique, creative, and fun to play. Right down to the easiest tracks, the roads curve and there are shortcuts that you can find or even ones you can make up! Another great feature is the All Cup Tour, where you randomly play tracks from all four cups to get the ultimate trophy. This game is one of the best in the series, and never ceases to entertain you, even if you know every track by memory.
