Lakitu is best.
And while I agree with the game being more fun, if it's quite more luck based (who doesn't want to get hit by a blue shell right before the finish line?) and balanced for everyone, I really miss the Mission Mode from Mario Kart DS. There is not much to do in MK7 - play all cups, do them 3 stars - play online -get all the items.
Though Online Mode is what MK7 is all about, I enjoyed the tiny bit of variety from the normal Mario Kart gameplay.
