Big Mario Kart Wii apologist over here. I loved the addition of the bikes and I loved the wheelie on straightaways. Yes, it made bikes way too OP in this game it's for the best they reigned it in with future titles, but I really loved the additional strategy they had to them. It felt so good to time drift, into a wheelie, into another drift once you have the courses down. I was unstoppable in this game. Also there are some banger tracks in here and battle mode ruled.
