Peak of the series. All of the new mechanics work with the systems without feeling gimmicky, great soundtrack, great levels. Few things in gaming are as satisfying as beating Eric's ass for the first time.

Yo, you're unconscious, kid!

Great mechanics. Worst soundtrack in the series.

This game is absolute peak kart racing. Almost every level is satisfying to play, the racer and kart variety is engaging, the graphics and music really hit, and the online play is quality (for Nintendo). This game is going to be referred to in the same breath as games like Ocarina of Time and Super Smash Bros Melee.
