Although the whole world was expecting a giant leap forward from the Gamecube Mario Kart, lot's of people were a bit dissapointed. Not only do you find recycled tracks (DS and Gamecube tracks) but the gameplay was almost the same. But nonetheless, this is a very good racing game for the non-serious racers. Although the fun of the game is the powertricks and keeping your opponent down, most serious racers will probably not like this.
