I really think people are overrating the difficulty. I watched a couple of top dk/koopa players on YouTube. I mimicked it on the easy courses without much trouble (just keep hopping while drifting on corners and it's not hard to stay aligned with edge and it's not even necessary to). The harder/weird terrain courses are certainly harder but dk/koopa top speed is so strong that you can fuck up a handful of times and still win. It should take like 8 hours of practice to win every 150cc cup with dk/koopa. I think the only real hard part is consistency. At 150cc if you go top speed you fall into lava off the ramps in koopa stages (u have to slow down on purpose) and it's pretty damn hard to stay on track on rainbow road especially on the hairpin. Ice stage it's hard to keep up high speed but you hardly need to.

Its not the best MK game because the items are not very satisfying to use. Compare the shells in SMK to the shells in MK64. You can literally send people out of the track with the shells in MK64. That being said, its the best MK game after MK64.

If this is approximately true then it's true for one reason only: old-looking graphics. The difficulty level of the game won't have a chance to come into it for most people deciding which Mario Kart game to play because they'll just glance at it and dismiss it without even learning how easy or hard it is.
