Well, I know what gamespot said. But you know what? Who cares? This game is FUN.
Nintendo really had an idea when making this game. And it worked. A lot of people might think that it's not worth it or something like that, but TRUST me, I normally stick with reviews, but I took a chance and was proven right. The game has about 25 events to choose from and quite a few of them can competed with for high scores on wi-fi. There are five modes:
Single Match-pick a match and play
Circut- play in an already set order of events or pick your own. New events are unlocked here.
Mission- Each character had indvidual missions asking to complete specific requirements for certain events to pass them.
Gallery- unlock songs and play fun little minigames to unlock trivia questions.
Dream events are probably the most fun thing to do in the game. For exampple, in Dream race, you're in a footrace and throw powerups at your challengers to make them slow down, like in Mario Kart. Reguler events can be fun too, but others can be just plan frusturating.
This game is NOT for everyone. Anyone who does not enjoy basically a cluster of minigames should just pack up and go. Otherwise, on your marks, get set, GO!
