The game got a nice update a few days ago.
Version 2 adds in a stat checker, which is nice since "coins gathered" is how you unlock a lot of the things. It also lets you stick the mini-map back on the big screen. Nice, but oddly you can only add that minimap using the Wii U gamepad itself. No other controller will do. Fortunately, it does save this setting. Still, that seems like an oversight. It also generally saves your last picked settings. There's this free sponsored DLC. Yeah, real-world cars are a bit out of place in Mario, but on the other hand, one of these cars is basically the Monopoly car. You can't top that!
Anyway, they've got a good DLC plan outlined. 8 new courses, 3 new karts and 3 new drivers, per pack, and they're both pretty cheap. Frankly, this is the sort of thing I expect with DLC, so I have to give it some praise.
Here's Rainbow Road, with (terrible) lyrics.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
