Okay played through every cup 150cc both single player and splitscreen. First of all, the music is fantastic but it needs two things: 1) customizable playlists. 2) an option for a thing to pop up when the music changes telling you the name of the track and the game of origin. The racing is fun, but not as hectic as I thought it would be. MK8 is infamous for random bullshit happening and ruining your victory like every single race. And I thought with 50% more racers that this would be kicked up a notch, and it just isnt. In fact the random bullshit seems dramatically toned down. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing, but if you have a big lead against the CPU, it can make frontrunning kind of boring sometimes. The long intermission tracks are just blegh and I wish GPs just had 4 three-lap races instead of driving to the next course and doing a single lap but counting it as 3 checkpoints along the way. Also I do not have NSO so I have not played online so maybe against 23 humans it does get crazy. I have not explored the world or touched knockout tour yet.

But theres other things I noticed, subtle mechanical differences. Things like no antigravity, so retro courses have been redesigned. You no longer drive underwater, instead your wheels turn into skis and you drove on top of the waves, so again some retro courses like Wario Shipyard are quite different. These arent necessarily bad changes, its just a different take on Mario Kart, which is probably what was needed after a freaking decade of Mario Kart 8.

Funny, a lot of my friends that played a lot seem to find that it's more hectic. Still, we're into it. We neeeeed playlists or any kind of music player!
