It is probably a case of having not broken in the buttons yet. I didn't find the buttons being particularly stiff, but they wont be quite as loose as those on a well played console. Perhaps you're just not used to it yet.
Perhaps try playing the game on a harder difficulty. You aren't punished a great deal on the Normal Mode, but you'll find it harder to fight your way out of problems on higher difficulties.
Maybe, when he says original, he means unique ideas rather than sequels or ports. If you take that into account, the list of games does shrink quite considerably. But there are still plenty of games out there that fit the bill. Pullblox being a prime example.
Circle pad because it's more comfortably placed. I've also got used to using it with Super Mario Bros, Super Mario World 1 & 2, Kirby's Dreamland, Kirby's Adventure and Mega Man.
Give it a couple of weeks. It should be any longer than that. I recommend hitting the home button the moment the track is picked, counting to 10 and hitting the home button again. It'll take you back the main menu and you'll be able to jump into a new game quite quickly.
There's yet another one on Rainbow Road too, that some how involves skipping that ring around the small moon. The grey one with the boosts on it. I've noticed a number of times i'm leading at that point, and then somebody is put back on the track ahead of me just as I clear the ring.
I accidentally hit it playing both Link's Awakening and Ocarina of Time, costing myself nearly an hours worth of play each time. It's not a mistake i've made since last summer, but it's asking for it when it's next to the start button.
Well, it would be nice if the ridges on the bottom screen didn't scratch the top screen. I also wish the stylus was kept on the right of the system like the DS lite. I think the 3DS could really use a higher quality camera too. I don't personally care if they add a second circle pad, but if they can do it without making the system a clunky mess then why not? I also have some problems with the system menu that could be ironed out with a redesign.

Place the cloth on the 3DS and clam it if you want to avoid the ridge-mark
I wish I could say it were that easy. I might be the only one here, but I've used that method and it didn't help. Even if it did though, it's the principle of the thing. The system shouldn't scratch itself, that's a huge design flaw.
I found that by simply closing the console gently you can avoid marks of any kind. It's when it snaps shut that these marks are imprinted. It requires no effort and no cloth. The only downside is putting the thing in your pocket. If it's a squeeze, you'll smudge the screen.
