General Commentary and Game Overview
I started this game up thinking it was about the best fangame I ever played. As soon as the actual game started, I thought it had to be the slowest, most boring game ever. I quit when I got to the bowser castle.
 
Pros Excellent presentation and use of Game Maker's 3D mode. Nice choice of graphics and sound.
 
Cons Gameplay was boring and slow.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
2 / 10
Like I said, boring and slow. Maybe if you tried to make it feel more like driving. I like the use of the mega mushroom, though, but that's about it.
 
Graphics
9 / 10
I would have just given you a 10 on this, but the characters are a little blurry. Try not to use texture interpolation, it just makes things uglier.
 
Sound
8 / 10
Like I said, nice choice of sounds, but there are no driving sounds.
 
Replay
2 / 10
I don't think I'll ever really play this game again. It's just so boring and the driving physics are overly simple.
 
Final Words
4 / 10
At first glance this game is amazing, but you soon realize that great presentation covers the truly stupid game within.

Gameplay slow and boring? Your PC sucks or try setting details low.

It's not slowdown from too many blocks being drawn at once. And no, my PC donesn't suck too much to play this game. It's just boring without good physics.

Look, I'm not bad at the game, but the physics just suck. I actually sent Flipiberke a car physics engine I made that he's using to improve the game.

Finally, something lower than a 9/10! XD

I'm glad somebody is finally looking past the amazing presentation and onto the actual gameplay. The game is very well made, but I must agree that it is somewhat boring after you get past the "WOW 3D FANGAME" part.

At certain points I also agree with Lazor-d. When I started to create the game, I had no idea about how to make physics, so I just rotated the kart. Now I have the basics of the game ready and I am very busy with the physics, to improve the gameplay. I am also aware of the slow loading process at the start of the game. This is because the game loads all maps (that is 10 circuit of 1024*1024) in the memory. I'm sorry for this

I recently submitted a 3D game myself. It's only a demo, but it's pretty fun.

It's better when it is the rotate turns.

Next time, try deactiviating the "draw far off walls" option. If that doesn't make the gameplay faster than what I find sufficient, then your computer sucks.

Real mario kart games DONT USE REAL KART PHYSICS! It just looks that way with all the the sprites nintendo used when the player turns! So if you dont like the turning in NSMK, i guess you dont like Mario Kart at all.

I actually agree with this review, if people think closely, they're probably mostly having fun with the game because it's 3-D and fun to explore the 3-D track and such. But the game wasn't very fun for me, I only played two tracks and haven't played it since. Still, it is a neat fangame, and the unlockables are great. Just boring gameplay. It wasn't really fun for me, to be honest.

I gave this a 5/10.
The biggest flaw is that the player's victory relies too much on either perfect driving or getting lucky with pickups.
