This game is incredibly balanced. The more I play, the more I like it. The best MK ever.

I won a lot of races in MK8. When I was in first place and had a shell or whatever behind me I felt very safe, I built up an advantage and even the blue shell didn't bother me. Here? I'm nervous as fuck the entire time as they rape you every 5 seconds. It's incredibly difficult to win and everyone has a chance. Even if I win very very very rarely, I still enjoy it immensely.
