What a horrible disappointment.
The soundtrack is nothing above poor, and the graphics are vibrant but mostly lack detail. The courses are, on the whole, poorly designed and incredibly short-lapped. There's a distinct lack of options, and battle mode is brought down by the awful arena design and unforgivable lack of bots. The gameplay is generally good, but too slow, especially now F-Zero GX is released.
This seems to mark a worrying trend for the series; this is worse than Mario Kart 64, and that wasn't as good as the original. Even Crash Team Racing, a PSOne game and a blatent rip-off, has better design in some respects. I see no explanation other than the fact that this was rushed out to give sales a boost at Christmas. Oh Nintendo? What have you done?
A shame. But these are first impressions, and I have only played about an hour and a half. Perhaps I'll grow to love it. At present however, it IS good, but only around 6-7/10.

Yeah, same with me.
It's funny, the only words you remember are "Hello" and all the regular 'naughty' words. FOr instance, I went on the China trip with my school last October. All I can remember is Hello, and, well, you know...
:D

Don't do 100cc on All Cup thingy.
You get no prize, and it's just a waste of time.
Do it on 150cc and you unlock Mirror Mode, and then more stuff comes after completing Mirror Mode. More courses, more characters, etcetera.
