Well, if anyone can make racing in a blue teddy bear fucking badass, I guess it's Mr. Luigi. Also this game looks like fun. The only Mario Kart game I had was the SNES one.
It's pretty fun. You can still dominate an online race from start to finish yet lose it all in the last turn when you're hit with every single attack item one after another.
But it could have used more tracks, and they totally screwed up the battle mode by not having dedicated arenas but instead making us fight on the regular race tracks.
When the Nintendo universe takes on a modern-day tough culture feel, Luigi will be the brother who does the dirty deeds--torturing goombas for information about where the next castle is, sending Mario off to run for the princess in a cloud of denial about what it took to get the information he needs in order to rescue her, get the credit, get laid, while Luigi is left holding his dick in his blood-encrusted forceps. Just like mama used to do. Oh the life of a plumber's brother.
