I always shill this game to my friends as a joke but this is genuinely one of my favorite racing games. It has so many qualities that keep it from getting stale, all the unlockable gear, different paths, and ESPECIALLY mission mode. Mission mode is just perfect for me because trying the same thing over and over again to get it perfect is something my brain is wired to do, it's probably what I spend most of my time on. Oh yeah this game's style is just really dope, hoverboards are cool af this game rocks
For the longest time I didn't understand why I liked this game more than most of the mainline ones but now I think I do. Normally in Pokemon games I end up with an overwhelming amount of Pokemon that I'm never going to do anything with because I just have too many, but in this game that's not really an issue. I guess it's kind of a quality over quantity thing, with the limited pool of Pokemon it gives each one a lot more value, which means I do a lot more with them. I spend time training every Pokemon, always making different teams to use and such, and thanks to Colosseum battles and stuff it's actually really enjoyable to me. Every trainer being rematchable just by revisiting an area is super nice (Hexagon Brothers my beloved), and it makes it WAY easier than the mainline Gen 3 games to train especially at higher levels. All the battles being double is another huge positive for me, I've always found them to be a lot more fun than single battles. This game was just kinda tailor made for me I guess, we won't ever get something like this again and understandably so, but man it just clicks with me so perfectly
A Mario/Sonic crossover was 7 year old me's dream game, so the fact that I wasn't enthusiastic about this game at all and never really cared to play it much says a lot.
Just another wiimote gimmick minigame-fest that the family plays for one day only for it to sit on a shelf for the next 15 years, forgotten and unloved. What a sad sad fate

This might sound petty but my friends forced me pull an all-nighter once to beat this game with them and due to that miserable experience alone I cannot view this game in a good light anymore. That was the last time I played it (About 5 or 6 years ago) and I have no desire to play it again after that. Before that incident though I remember liking it a fair bit.

Great first full-scale game to play on PS5, visuals blew me away. The story was enjoyable enough but didn't really leave much of an impression on me. I did like the whole concept of alternate dimension characters and I thought it was done well, probably the highlight of the story for me.
The gameplay, while it works and is fun it just feels like something's missing. The worlds were really cool but maybe I just need to try a harder difficulty or something because it kinda felt like a blur. More enemy variety was really needed especially with the minibosses. Overall solid game but I feel like it's missing that special sauce to make it stand out.

First time playthrough of this game is ROUGH, shoutout to Wonderland and Deep Jungle for making me wander around aimlessly for literal hours. Also the boss fights were uh, not very fun for the most part. I think I'll end up liking this game more if I played it again.
I aint even gonna bother talking about the story lol
