This is looking pretty hard, especially the gate challenge thing at the end. I always like challenges and trail modes in racing and karting games. Mario Kart DS had a very sizeable challenge mode with different test of skills and boss fights. This challenge mode has been missing from subsequent MK games which has disappointed me...
Mario Kart DS, is the best MK ever made! But snaking was pretty much a requirement if you wanted to play that online, exploiting the games mechanics to get the edge. That's why they changed the drift boost mechanic in the Wii and 3DS games, to be based on the distance travel and how sharply you turn, whilst drifting, instead how fast you can twiddle the direction pad. It doesn't feel as satisfying as it used to, but also makes the game a bit more challenging now.
