The Good:

• Huge number of courses, including some of the most imaginative yet
• Deeply integrated online play
• Easy to jump into for players of any skill level
• Fun and strategic trick system
• Motorcycles provide a great alternative to go-karts.

The Bad:

• Nostalgia doesn’t save most of the classic courses from being boring
• Items are more unbalanced than ever, especially on new tracks
• Battle modes are now exclusively team-based and timed.
