The worst Mario kart game in existence it has no new mechanics, horrible characters added and amazing characters removed for no reason, you can only hold one item at a time, Lakitu is a complete babysitter, no cool shortcuts or tracks in general, one of the only Mario games to have DLC, no interesting or new battle course tracks,no captain falcon, and this game did bring back bikes but you can't pull wheelies.
Most importantly PINK GOLD PEACH and the introduction to the Koopalings yet NO BOWSER JR
