Things I love in the new Mario Kart

[relaxing]

• On Rainbow Road, you appear to be racing in LEO somewhere above Greenland.
  
  • When you fall off the course, you see your kart burning up on reentry.
    
  • (Presumably with your character still inside.)
    
  • The effect is gorgeous.
    
• The Dry Dry Ruins, where you race a circular track around the Egyptian desert and through a decaying tomb.
  
  • With each lap, more of the structure collapses.
    
    • Columns fall across the raceway.
      
    • Rooms fill with sand.
      
    • Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.
      
• The Maple Treeway.
  
  • Just, y'know, driving around in autumn.
    
  • Kicking through piles of leaves.
    
  • Watching them scatter in the wind.
