Unfortunately it seems that Nintendo keeps appealing to the impatient gamer by adding these "sections" to one of the most classic, longer levels in the series - in addition to making all longer retro levels relatively short compared to their original forms.

One of the previewers says the exact opposite.

Saying when doing head to head comparison, that the courses were sometimes longer than the originals.

Key words are bolded.

Look at Toad's Turnpike and Royal Raceway and you will see that the levels are a lot shorter. While the short SNES levels have been made longer since there are only three laps now as opposed to five. The Wii level shown is hard to compare since the kart in Mario Kart 8 moved a lot slower; possibly suggesting a cc difference.
