100% agree. the straights just don't compare to the regular tracks. the journey is fine, but when the track is only 1 lap it feels so short. What he said about frontrunning is true. you get penalized for driving well and being in first. I know this is mario kart, but the items are just a little too overpowered. like if someone gets a shock there should be a timer for how long they can hold it. people just wait until the final item boxset and fuck everyone in the front. since there is only 1 lap on the track, you have no time to recover then lose.
Intermission AND three laps is my biggest request.
