It is watered down and such, but the last championship is a serious challenge... I really wonder if any of the people calling this game "easy" have played the fifth championship, Frantic Finale. It's HARD. Frustrating, memorization-heavy, and hard. All four tracks have lots of sharp turns with no walls, obstacles are all over, and more... and all at the game's very high speed, in the upper difficulty levels. If I didn't make it clear in the first post, Mickey's Speedway USA is a fast game for a kart racer, that's for sure. In Professional difficulty, I think this has to be one of the fastest kart racers I've ever played. It's good that the framerate stays solid the whole time. Also, it has a Super Mario Kart-style coin system, oddly enough.
It is true that it takes a while for the game to get hard and the first three championships are somewhat disappointing, and that's an issue when there are only five, but it IS worth sticking with, the later parts are pretty good...
Here's a video of it. I'd recommend watching it in Youtube and not in the window, it is HD.
