It's Short Challenge Mode and No Wi-Fi make this game seem bad. It is, Howerver, a fun game, especially with friends.
Gameplay:
Gameplay is extrordinary with multiplayer, and also pretty fun IMO in single player. With 9 stadiums to choose from, the game is very fun to play - Multi or Single Player. ;) 7.9/10
Graphics:
Graghics are really amazing, especially for a Wii title. Even though they won't win an award, they are perfect for this game. They aren't really blocky like in Mario Kart Wii, but not too experienced like in Brawl. They are just right! 8/10
Roster:
MSS features the original roster from MSB, and also features 10 new characters, which features your Mii. Generally So Much better than the Roster in MSB. 9.8/10
Challenge Mode:
Sadly, I don't think Ninty put second to none attention for this challenge mode. It's really short and repetitive at times. Hovever IMO theres good replay value and is overall very fun from beginning to end. 6.5/10
Replay Value:
VERY LARGE IMO. Especially with the amazing multiplayer option! Even single player games are addicting.The replay Value in this game for me is an A+! 9/10
Controls:
I don't know why everyone has a problem with this. I find the controls pretty neat and polished, atleast for me and the Wiimote + Nunchuck combo. You can also use the Wiimote Upwards and sideways, which I haven't tried. The controls are generally nice. 8.4/10
Music:
Nothing Comepletey Memorable, but it fits the game great. Also, I personally like most of the music in the game, especially Peach Ice Garden's music. Super Mario 64 music FTW! 8.1/10
The game for me is overall a really nice and fun game, despite short Challenge Mode and No Wi-Fi. It is DEFINATELY Underappreciated, and should have more positive attention.
OVERALL: 8.5/10
