You have to pay money if you want to win any online races. Characters and Karts and Gliders are important not only to your score, but also to the items you get whenever you race. Only reason I play this is because Mario Kart 8 on the switch is never updated, the tracks are never updated, and the characters are all the same. Sad that a Mobile game gets more attention than a mainline release. Play this only if you can't afford a switch or have a way to play with controller with an overlay. 0/10
