Mario et ses amis sont de retour sur les circuits. Le jeu n'a pas été réinventé. Toujours le même. Les amateurs de la série de Mario Kart ne seront pas déçus. Même principe de jeu avec quelques options de rajoutés. Les nostalgiques des autres jeux de Mario Kart parus sur les consoles Nintendo précédentes seront ravis de revoir certaines pistes revenir.
La connexion WiFi est également disponible pour jouer en ligne avec ses amis, avec des gens de votre continent ou même du monde entier. On peut alors participer à des tournois et battre des records d'autres joueurs sur la planète. Ce qui donne un réel challenge au jeu.
Le volant est bien conçu aussi. À cause de l'absence de point de fixation, je croyais me fatiguer les bras en tenant le volant dans les airs mais ce n'est pas le cas.
Joueurs simultanés: 4 En ligne: +++
L'option de joueurs alternatifs sur le même kart comme dans la version du GameCube n'est plus disponible.
Que rajouter d'autre? Mario Kart est resté bien fidèle aux autres Mario Kart. Ce n'est, à mon avis, qu'une bonne chose!
