Gameplay/Controls
Very good, drifting feels great. However perhaps a little "over-polished" as Lakitu prevents a lot of good jank; something Mario Kart Wii would've let slide. Booster Course Pass re-implements a bit of it into the game though.
I've heard some say 200cc is bad due to tracks not being made with it in mind, I disagree and think it's a great way to make the game more challenging.
Visuals/Style
The base game tracks look phenomenal. You forget it's a Wii U port. How did they do it? And the Booster Course Pass is a mobile game port so go figure (bad).
Music
Again, fantastic. The live music is awesome to listen to, and 75% of my excitement when waiting to hear which old track was getting included in the DLC was unironically because of getting to hear its music remastered.
Online
Is good. The last update added room codes so it got even easier. Only thing I can think to comment is I wish you could select a track from the full list instead of a random roulette of courses. Sometimes I feel the same 3 tracks appear too often.
Conclusion
Save for my nostalgia for Mario Kart Wii, this is probably the peak of Mario Kart at the moment in terms of content, gameplay, music... almost everything. Just a little over-polished and I think it misses a bit of the fun jank from previous entries.
There's no point recommending this game, if you own a Switch there's an 80% chance you have this game ¯\(ツ)/¯
