Oh, a couple more things.
The game has irritatingly long load times. The game takes way too long to load, longer than just about anything on the Gamecube (or any Wii games I've seen I think), and it's annoying. It's worst in the tutorial, which is just miserable due to the long load times followed by extremely short bouts of gameplay -- it's not quite as bad as that famous Sonic 2006 video, but is far too close to it.
Yeah, don't give up on the game after playing the tutorial, the actual game is much, much better than that... and at least when you hit 'Restart' during a race, you don't have to wait through the loading screen again but just get immediately restarted.
