Ok, so before someone comes to my house and kills me, I just want to say MK: DD has a HUGE nostalgia factor for me, so this is kinda bias.
I liked Mario Kart Wii, it was fun..... but kinda too..... stable...I wanna be able to push enemies too far away and be pushed in a fancy way, I want the drift to make me go like ice, I want items to easily make me fall, but let me stand too, whenever I was hit by anything, even with worst aceleration, I'd recover fast, not like in MKWii where a simple banana took hell long to recover from.
In, MK:DD I loved the crazy items and how they unfolded, the beautiful animations, the just too awesome over the top battle mode, and I think most of us would agree the MK:DD had the best battle mode of any MK. they ruined it in MKWii.
I liked the vs. mode better too. When we are both alone, we used to get amazing items, Chain Chomps or stars that left the other halfway behind, but he easily recovered with great items later, in MK Wii, 1 vs. 1 was 1st place bananas, 2nd place thundercloud.
I cannot write more, someone came to my house and shot me, but I wanted to say that MK:DD is amazing and I wouldn't be dissapointed if the 3DS version was more like DD.
Oh, and the music was much better too.
