After yesterday's post, I realized that I had completely forgotten about 200cc. Which is absolutely terrible but terrifically fun at the same time.
200cc lends a new excitement to the game and allowed me to replay all of the Grand Prix once again in this breakneck speed mode, and it requires a substantial amount of skill. In 200cc, Mario Kart tells you that "braking is necessary" which I shrugged off at first and then proceeded to get 12th place. What you must do in 200cc, which took me a while to master, is the art of brake tapping. Which means that when you come screaming around a corner and begin your drift, you must tap the brakes as you drift to slow you down to a manageable 150cc speed. Once you master this, 200cc becomes great delight to play, especially on courses where the difference is noticeable.
Overall, 200cc is an excellent addition and makes couch racing even more fun, so well done Nintendo. 10/10.
