-The world feels empty and dull, with only individual missions and tasks unlocking just stickers
-Skins have no impact or Special items and not every playable character received skins
-No 200cc available
-Tracks are too wide and have overly long straight sections
-Tracks are connected through the open world, so you drive long connecting routes but only race one lap on the actual intended track, which feels too short
There is no fuel or damage simulation. Vehicles are not configurable. Dragging objects behind you is classed as 'transportation'. There is no real weight simulation. Crane control has deteriorated. There is no driver animation. Lights and the engine can no longer be switched off manually. There is no day/night cycle and weather effects on the car are virtually non-existent. There are no significant differences between the various terrains. Everything feels the same because the cars can no longer be configured anyway.
