The graphics are generally described as bland and cartoony, evoking a nostalgic Mario Kart feel, though they are visually appealing and easy on the eyes, especially in VR. However, some users criticize the overall quality, noting issues like poor hit detection and a lack of detail.
“The graphics are cartoony and fun.”
“The graphics are also easy on the eyes, being that games with a lot going on often times end up looking rough and pixelated in VR.”
“It's worse than all the other reviewers mention... hit detection is way off and no matter if you bump into the AI or vice versa, you get slowed down. You cannot take tight corners as fast as the AI, weapons do more harm to you than the AI. It is super short (in my short playtime I finished every cup), and the graphics are bland, but I have to admit they have a nice Mario Kart feel to them.”
