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.

Just completed Special Cup on 100cc... guess who I got :-)
Can't people stop going after something perfect and enjoy it for once Zelda and Sunshine were great okay not like Mario 64 or quite as indulging as OoT but can people JUST stop comparing like a bunch of what can i say 'geeks' and just enjoy THATS why games were invented (To be fun!!!)

I;ve just unlocked another kart on 100cc, but i got 36points and still got it instead of getting the full 40pts, do i need to get ALL of the points on each cup/cc to get everything unlocked? i thought you did..
Wait until you get to 150cc. It's even more difficult.
Very enjoyable though, as the speed improves as well.
