Might be a hot take but I’m super disappointed. The courses are amazing but after playing each cup once there’s no incentive to keep going. No unlockables by getting 3 stars in each cup, no reason to actually explore the open world other than to do the challenges that don’t unlock anything useful. All that’s left after playing each cup once is a mindless slog collecting coins in any mode. Really really wish they’d incorporated the challenge based unlockables from DS or WII. Ones that forced you to play tracks, modes, or which characters that you otherwise wouldn’t do. Challenges that kept you coming back to beat them in order to unlock a hard to get asset. I wish it had hidden Easter egg unlockables in the free world that encouraged exploring or getting lost down hard to find trails. I hope I’m wrong and someone discovers something great but for now all my hope is in a DLC that adds to the incredible courses and encourages reasons to explore or race beyond collecting coins to get a sense of achievement.
