Game is excellent mechanically. The jumping, grinding, wall riding and mid air bouncing is incredibly satisfying. Tracks are almost all great. KO Tour is a lot of fun. Aesthetic, kart and character design are all really good. And I like the open world mission mode.
The game just lacks a bunch of options for no reason, the battle mode was botched, item balance is a little bit annoying, the stickers a total waste of customization, and muh intermissions. Game could could’ve been the definitive peak of the franchise if they didn’t mess up the small shit. But it’s still my favorite by far, super addicting
