The CPU will CRUSH you if you can't handle the controls and that's exactly what's gonna happen to new players to the Mario Kart series. Plus the bad designed race tracks adding it all up makes for a very frustrating experience. Due to the bad controls you will swing back and forth in the track, making it almost impossible to get even first in the 100 CC Cups. finally a positive thing about the game haha. Next up are the graphics, which are honestly not that bad! Colorfull and sparkling, they really take full advantage of the GameCube capabilities. It's also the only acceptable race track in the game. The only real good soundtrack in the game comes from Rainbow Road, the final track in the game. Not memorable at all and some are just a pain to listen to. For me, soundtrack is the most important thing in a video game and yeah. They are not designed well and some of them are actually really frustrating (Like the Wario Stadium or the ice stage). Your characters move all over the place while driving, resulting in colliding with walls, CPU players or even items you would normally easily avoid like bananas or shells.
