It’s probably unfair of me to review this game without engaging with all its systems, yet, I've rolled credits many times and devoted a lot of hours to playing this game (1060 km and 2090 coins), so I think it’s only fair. The game needs no explanation; it's the definitive version of Mario Kart 8 with its DLC and the new DLC from Booster Course Pass. At the time I'm writing this review, the last two tracks aren't available yet. I've spent most of my time engaging with Grand Prix, I fully completed 50 and 100 CC for the base game and DLC and 150 CC for the base game alone. Firstly, I have to preface that this game is a ton of fun, and its sales speak volumes. Every map is meticulously crafted, it's vibrant and captures the Mario and Nintendo as a whole. The character roster is immense, the unlockables are fun, and it is an enjoyable experience. I've only played the single-player component, so there's a lot I can't speak for personally, but I can imagine how great playing with folks like Smash Bros is for my family. I never felt any real problems, but once you start the harder modes, some of the gimmicks become excessive. Mostly the blue shell, everything else feels somewhat fair game. Especially when trying to get gold at 150 cc, it annoyed me so much. I understand why mechanics like that exist, giving everyone an even playing field so the person at last can somehow make a comeback, but yeah, everything is fine because it's avoidable if you are skilled enough, but the blue shells just boggle my mind. So yeah, the deeper you dig, certain flaws feel a lot more apparent. Beyond that, it's a joy of a game, and I will probably play it on and off again if friends come over or something of that nature.

In Conclusion, it’s very good game and a fun casual experience!
