So much better it's not even funny.

Good tracks thanks to the SEGA licenses !
The gameplay works but is forgettable

It's better than any other racer on the list except maybe for the kart controls which i find a bit wonky, but it's overall a pretty polished game with good levels.

Alright, the tracks are generally not good (save for the zoo and jungle ones ?), but the gameplay has a really good flow to it, you can get to really good speed and chain drifts to charge your turbo. It's ALMOST good

Drifting makes you charge a boost meter which you can then use whenever you please. So far so good (actually not really but the gameplay is functional and the FPS are acceptable).
But the items, the items are just raining, it's Mario Kart Wii explosive setting level of bullshit, replicated with only 6 racers.

Every item slaps hard, or boost hard, it's seems impossible to end up that far from the pack.

Strangely it's a polished (for nds racers standards), doesn't do much but hey it works. Literally baby's first racer.

Forgettable, long and boring tracks

A kart racer with a life bar, if it gets to 0 you're out.
Pretty cool concept huh ? But that's not all, there's another twist : the game runs at 10fps

What's your idea of a bad licensed kart game ? Well, you're probably thinking of M&M's Kart Racing, you just didn't know it.
The gameplay is shit, the tracks are shit, i don't even remember items and my brain is trying to forget it.

If you really like shit games, also try the one on Wii, it's quite a treat.
