"Competing for time is also exciting, and there's more than enough room for hardcore play here. The Community feature makes netplay a lot more accessible than before, and finding opponents via Street Pass is also impressive. It's really exciting to think how the community's going to unfold," they said.
Another reviewer noted: "There are a lot of changes here, but play it and it's definitely still Mario Kart," for those worried about the series going off on a tangent.
"That goes to show how complete a game it's become. It's accessible enough that even new players can enjoy it, and when you get into it, you really get into it," they said.
Other reviews of note in the issue were The King of Fighters XIII score of 34/40 (8/9/8/9), Tekken Hybrid's 33/40 (9/8/8/8) and Assassin's Creed: Revelations' 37/40 (10/10/9/8).
