Really glad you can just hop right into 150CC from the start.
Not liking the continued Mario Kart "random items" factor. There's been some really, REALLY CHEAP shit that's happened to me in Grand Prix. I'll be in 1st place and go over a jump, which is right when an item will hit me and my kart goes spiraling down the pit.
Then I get with another item right as I respawn and fall down the same pit again.

Game is definitely solid, though.
