Plays like a dream on handheld mode, love it.

What Im hearin bout heat makes me nervous re:warping.

Id just play at 720p on tv to keep it cooler, but 720p looks shitty on a 4k tv...

Yeah, this game looks sick on the Switch screen.

Attempting to play with my buddies with the pro controller. Lag out the ass. It can't detect my items or drift worth shit, no matter what I do.

I've lost count how many times I've been hit by a Blue Shell and Lightning within 5 seconds of each other. I know it's Mario Kart and it's supposed to happen, but still.
 
This is my first Mario Kart since the DS, and I'm having a great time. I haven't touched the single player, just online against other players. I was losing every match until I saw that smart steering post, and now I'm doing well. It definitely wasn't letting me do my crazy drifts on the edge of the level, so it had to go. Feels great in handheld and docked modes.

I'm worried about the kart parts. I really hope that I can just use them to balance out preference rather than making a weight class better than others. I beat BoTW before my copy arrived, so I'm mostly playing Link.
 
Is there a stat that affects the power of boosts, such as speed or weight? Or perhaps does letting go of the acceleration right before you hit the boost makes it more powerful as it does in Diddy Kong Racing?
