Not just the image, but the gameplay itself is more catered towards babbys, now. I absolutely hate the idea of them giving you that invincibility if you die too many time. It's like saying "oh, here's a free pass to win the game because everyones a winner. c:" I really hate that.
Re: Reflections of past Mario Kart games (64)
Mario Kart 64 was all right. It was a fun multiplayer experience, though I enjoyed Super Mario Kart more than this one. It threw the series into the direction of a more party-oriented game, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing.
