I don’t know if it’s the best one (that’s probably Mario Kart 8 although I don’t care for it), but it’s the most fun for me.

The items and characters make for fun strategy in choosing a team a kart. It may not be super balanced but it’s fun and not as unbalanced as Mario Kart Wii imo. One of my bucket list items is to play a 8/16 player race on 8 GCNs using the LAN adapter
