You win your races due to skill and timing. Comparing it to the apparently untouchable Mario Kart Wii this racer does not have the ridiculous "give constantly overpowered items to the guy at the back" programmed in. It is hardly on rails- you will just slowly go around the track bumping into things if you go afk. Reviewers say the on rails mechanic is an insult. Picking up a Wii and this game in 2014 and it is clearly better than most other racers on the system. There seems to have been an agenda to hate on this game at the time of its release. After a few play sessions I realized that if I can time my banana fueled turbo boosts to hit a few barrels in a row the turbo boost is extended for example. Tight, fun controls and a lot of hidden depth.


My son, wife and I play this more than any other racer on the Wii (and we have nearly all of them).
