this stage looks cool but actual gameplay is horrible. as soon as you land on the track, your pretty much dead.
This describes how I feel. The concept and everything is downright awesome, but you're constantly moving on it. Cars disappear, the Falcon Flyer disappears, things reappear, etc. And it's hard to even play on if you're going all-out non-competitive, because you can't even get items. They hit the stage, bounce, hit the track, and they're gone.
Anything that is fun is shunned by competitive players....
Oh, stop bawwing. The game is fun without Big Blue and items. There's a difference between normal fun, and crazy, wacky, party game fun. Crazy, wacky, party game fun is not for competitive matches. Unless you're a complete elitist, everyone enjoys it from time to time, just not in tourneys.
Not true, I prefer to play competitively but I have fun playing on the Mario Kart stage, but thats banned from tourneys(at least I think it is).
Mario Circuit is, according to the official rules, Counter/Banned.
