The gameplay is engaging and enjoyable, particularly in cooperative sessions, with snappy mechanics and fun movement options like a grappling hook that enhances traversal. While the campaign offers unexpected and entertaining moments, some players find the final part of the game frustrating.

“That is a very solid amount of content, as each world has many tracks to explore and quests to complete.”

“There are a few locations, each with its own layout, quests, and hazards, but they feel repetitive.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game tedious, particularly due to the need to farm for crystals to unlock certain characters, which can become frustrating after repeated failures. Many users express dissatisfaction with the time and effort required to accumulate resources, leading some to abandon the grind altogether.
“There's also one character that requires 1,000 crystals to race, which means farming for crystals if you fail repeatedly.”
