![]() ![]() Restricting characters based on team choice is my only real bummer, though it does make things easier to follow (enemy racers and your partners are also highlighted with an aura). The same goes for providing a slingshot trail: I found myself consciously driving with more precision to ensure that my lines were easy to follow and my teammates could stay in them. ![]() Dumping useless items has always been a problem in kart racers, so if I’m in first, giving someone a projectile so they can shoot up ahead on my level is a great feeling. ![]() I actually love how it all comes together.
