I love the costumes.
The characters have better and more dynamic animations during races.
Rainbow Road is beautiful and actually gave me chills the first time I played.
DK's Astroport is a really cool track.
Knock-out mode is a great mode for online with randoms.

>How can anyone enjoy doing the same quests in the same locations over and over again for 40 hours?
Because they actually played the game and they don't just parrot opinions from clickbait youtubers. If you actually played the game you'd be doing side quests like the Space Pirate route (forgot the name) where you visit lots of new locations and a bunch of those locations are various ships. You do a heist on a large space cruiseliner and even eventually find a legendary lost ship with massive treasure.
