I have a weird relationship with this game. I bought the first when it came out on Wii U nearly 10 YEARS AGO, and since then I will say that yea, it has gotten kind of repetitive. However, the fact that a game like this has this much longevity is ASTOUNDING, and should not negatively impact how perfect of a Mario Kart game this is. I will say that I'm still unimpressed with the battle mode after revisions. I wish Nintendo allowed for more customizability with the battle mode, setting time limits, having tournaments, setting items, almost in the same way Smash Bros does it.
