This is quite literally, the ultimate Mario Kart experience. It's no surprise this game was rereleased on Switch as it was effectively perfect on Wii U, just needed a few tweaks. It's a great experience, whether online with friends or on your own completing the different cups. The driving is great and never feels clunky or awkward. The items always make for good fun and add plenty of strategy into the game and there's not that one that makes the experience too hectic. However, that's also my biggest problem with this game, it's focus on skill. Skill has always been a big factor in Mario Kart, no matter what entry you play but this one focuses so much on it that once you've mastered the game, it becomes almost impossible to be beaten which can detract from the fun occasionally. The older entries are a lot more chaotic and are typically better party games but as the best portable entry, it does well. A great time though, and will be playing this one with friends for quite some time.
