8's Rainbow Road does feel a bit uninspired compared to 7's, gotta admit that. It is fun to jump between the two paths near the end, though.
I actually think that 7 was better balanced than 8, as well. But 8 is more varied, aesthetically if nothing else. It's the only game to use non-kart vehicles without rendering karts obsolete, even if that was accomplished by copy-pasting stats. And I really do love the anti-grav and the Super Horn (more for the lunacy of blasting someone with it than for the advertised Blue Shell defense). The randomness of the online course selection is nice as well since it (usually) keeps people from constantly choosing the same course.
