This game features characters like Peach, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Toad, Wario and Yoshi and hidden characters such as Waluigi, Dry Bones, R.O.B. and Daisy. Each character has their own stats, strengths and weaknesses. For beginners I'd recommend Toad or Mario.

The levels are fun and the multiplayer is even funner. The game's strengths are that you can come back and come back for more and it doesn't get boring and tried and true for a while. Also, the graphics are pleasant while pushing no boundaries.

Levels are your typical Mario Kart affair but many boards from past games return which was fun to see (especially Frappe Snowland and Moo Moo Farm).

You can play with others that are local or you can rev up the game online through Wi-Fi with people from the states or from all over the world which was neat (but sometimes takes a while).

There are also one player mini games that you can excel at called Missions. VS enables you to race against friends and Battle let's you play one of three battle modes.

Learning Curve: 0-10 minutes.
Graphics: 8/10
Sound: 7.5/10
Controls: 9.5/10
Gameplay & Fun: 8.5/10
Overall, this game gets an 8.5/10, being accessible to nearly anyone.
