" ... Being previously used still works wonders, the maps are awesome, a lot of variety to choose from along with some nostalgic maps. ... "
" ... Plenty of fun maps. ... "
" ... When you boot up the game, it has every character unlocked, as well as all of the maps, but not the customization of each of the cars. ... "
" ... This is a great game however everything is unlocked from the beginning so theres no challenge or need to play through everything which kind of ruins the replayability. ... "
" ... A great add to the Switch library. ... "
" ... The graphical updates, new items, characters, and maps are very enjoyable. ... "
" ... When I was playing, I noticed the game forced me to stay on the track via "smart steering" or something (read the back of the case). ... "

" ... It's made me feel like a kid again, and with how much stress I've been under these last few years with my health . ... "
" ... Some of the courses feel much lower quality than others, but with some classic courses in here it can hit you with nostalgia. ... "
" ... It helps them stay in the race and keeps then from feeling bad about their performance. ... "
" ... As someone who did not have a WiiU this was not just a rerelease to me, but I understand how some people could feel that way. ... "
" ... The ability to use just 1 joycon, though not the most comfortable, makes for nice ability to have MK throwdowns wherever! ... "
" ... They all work great and controlling the kart is responsive and tight. ... "
" ... This definitely makes the experience feel more complete. ... "
" ... The controller is much more comfortable compared to the Wii U's bulky touchscreen controller, and the graphics seem to be somewhat better. ... "

" ... When I was playing, I noticed the game forced me to stay on the track via "smart steering" or something (read the back of the case). ... "
" ... very easy to just play wirelessly on two switches on the go. ... "
