The first Mario Kart is a game I don't really care for, but this game is epic. The gameplay is much better here than it was in the first game, same goes for the graphics, as in this game I can actually see what I am doing unlike in the original. The tracks in this game are also pretty cool, my favorites being "Yoshi Valley" and "Kalamari Desert". I also really like the character rooster on this game. I love this game a lot more than "Super Mario Kart" and "Mario Kart 8", though Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7 are even better yet imo
