Not gonna lie I almost completely forgot about this game until like a week before it came out. I dunno I just didn't really care for it, and it seemed to have way less content than the upcoming CTR remake.
I still picked it up on launch tho, and surprisingly it turned out being pretty good! In a lot of ways, it's very similar to Transformed, as in it controls almost exactly the same, shares modes and stuff, yet it manages to have its own identity. I was totally expecting to hate how transforming isn't a thing here anymore, or how the crossover aspect is gone. Yet it doesn't bother me because the game ends up feeling distinct enough. The gameplay itself is really fun too! I wished there was a bit more track variety but for a $40 game, this is more than enough.
Honestly, I like this game more than Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Yes, I went there! Fight me!
