I played this at my aunt's house. It felt a bit different from the Wii version. The start ups feel unsatisfying to me with the exclusion of wheelies, but there were definetly improvments. I found the new stages and the anti gravity tracks quite fun. Contrary to my sister, I was opposed to doing 200 CC, as I kept crashing and falling to no end. I liked the changes to battle (miss coin battle though) except for one thing. My sister and I were hunting each other down, until my sister killed me. !It was not until after the battle me and my sister remembered something important.............. We were on the SAME TEAM. (The spirit of the hero shall haunt her forever...........)
