As the fourth game in the series, you'd kind of expect more, well, newness. And even though the added driver technique is the only major change, it does manage to rework the way you play. The same types of power-ups are hanging around the colorful Mushroom Kingdom courses, but now you can hold more of them at once (thanks to the extra friend). So now there's a little bit of item management built in, but never forget that your lead is always in jeopardy.

While blasting around a corner, four karts on your tail, dirt and sand flying everywhere, you see Baby Mario soar past with a giant cannonball with teeth chained to his kart. Anything in its path is flung into the sky. You just went from first place to fifth. Now sixth. Seventh. The power-ups do make things interesting but can cost you the race, even though you were ripping through in first the whole time. It’s just a matter of adjusting to a constantly rotating queue of item-launching competitors.
