This is my favorite Mario kart game out there, You have a ton of characters to play as, but you have to unlock a lot of them, and if you play simple multiplayer mode, the player who doesnt own the game plays as a colored shy guy, I wish he was an actual player to play as but hey, We also got time trials, vs mode, Battle mode, with balloon battle and shine runners, shine runners is seeing who can collect the most shines in the time period, and you also got missions, real cool mode, you have 6 main stages and there are 9 total is 1 stage, 6 little games and the boss, if you get 3 stars on every level on every stage, you'll unlock something very cool, I wont spoil it but you'll have to see for yourself, yes it will take time, but you'll get it, and once you beat the game you can have any character in any kart. This game is probably the best Mario kart In my opinion, you can also make your own emblem in the settings menu, you can create whatever you want, but its a small little box, I grew up playing this game and still havent got bored of it, if you get this game you will enjoy a lot
