Mario Kart Wii is one of the worst designed games to ever come out of the big N, I have never seen a game punish the player so much for being good. Getting hit by 4-5 blue shells in a single race is not uncommon in Mario Kart Wii, and both the blue shell and red shells stop you completely for seconds. Expanding the number of karts in a race to 12 was clearly an afterthought as the game is not balanced for that. Besides, the drifting sucks compared to previous games. A chaotic, luck-based mess. They even forgot to balance the karts vs bikes. Bikes are just objectively better.

Thank you! I've always hated Mariokart Wii and anytime I mention how bad it is, my friends act like I'm crazy.
