General Commentary and Game Overview
This is one of the closest and flashiest MK clones I've ever seen. The eye is stunned by this game, but it lacks originality.
 
Pros Very nice and flashy 3d play, with colorful and well-implemented Mario Kart graphics
 
Cons Almost no originality and many in-game bugs that can ruin the game with one small error
 
Impressions
Gameplay
6 / 10
The nostalgia of racing around a 3-d track is amazing, but the gameplay was still aggravating and, at times, boring.
Glitches and built-in character difficulty can make one pull one's hair out. (I myself had to reset my computer after one fit.)
 
Graphics
9 / 10
Truly pioneering. Even with old 16-bit SMK graphics, this game has the most amazing track display ever, in my opinion. Pre-race cutscenes are also stunning.
 
Sound
8 / 10
The sound was nice in this game, with music matching perfectly, but I found that some sounds didn't truly match.
 
Replay
7 / 10
The replay was so-so. On the good side, the amazing atmosphere will keep you playing for a while, but the same tracks over and over again can get boring.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
If you're looking for something awe-inspiring to try out for a few minutes, this game is perfect for you. However, if you want long hours of original Mario Kart fun, this is not your best bet.
