Personally, I think it's fun. I suck at racing but I think I'm doing well in the Battle Mode. It's like a kiddie version of Twisted Metal. However, I do wish that there were a lot more items. I also wish that the arenas were designed a lot better so that it would be easier to find some opponents. Still, overall, it's a fun addition to the game. What do you think of the Battle Mode in Mario Kart 8?
The battle mode has always been good when it comes to Mario Kart so I don't think that this one would be worst. I actually like to play the battle mode more with friends when I am playing Mario Karts.
