This is a delightful reskin. The character renders are well done, and the roster slots are jokes (Princess Trunks, Piccolo Yoshi, Vegeta as Wario, etc.) familiar to DBZ fans. I loved the voice clips that were selected, and it's especially hilarious hearing Piccolo yelps mapped to Yoshi's MIDI grunts. The rethemed maps are interesting enough that it's worth playing through each of them (Bowser's Castle becomes Garlic Castle, with Garlic Jr.'s face on Thwomps, and Royal Raceway, along with its appearance in the trophy cutscene, is now Snake Way, Moo Moo Farm is now Nappa's farm with Saibamen instead of moles, etc.) to see what changes have been made. The items' icons have been swapped, but the items themselves are unchanged. This is a little confusing at first, but each choice makes sense. The 1-star Dragon Ball is the Starman, Ki blasts are shells, the Spirit Bomb is the Blue Shell, Capsule Corp capsules are ? blocks, Oozaru are bananas, and so forth. I also enjoyed that the item rolls have been rebalanced, so even if you're doing well, you can still get any item. This means that unlike original recipe Mario Kart 64, you'll still be able to try out every item if you're a skilled player. The main thing I wish this had was new music, I think swapping in DBZ midi files while keeping the instrument voices from the original tracks would have been huge, but I'm no romhacker, so I have no idea how hard that would have been!

Highly recommended if you're a DBZ fan, especially if you can play with friends so you can all laugh when Vegeta yells "STAY BACK FREAKS" or "SAD FOR YOOOUUUUUU!"

Oh and when you spin out it says "BALLZ" over your head
