Now, this is the first track on this list that I do not dislike. So, while I hate elements of the tracks above, I can't find anything to really gripe about, other than the fact that there is nothing to the track. There is no substance or anything really. The thing is, that there is LITERALLY NOTHING there to dislike. Now, I have to say, this track isn't here because I like it more than the ones below it on the list. It just feels like a knockoff Mushroom City. Half the track is just boost panels, and this may be fun the 1st time around, but not the 15,000th! The AI pose no challenge, and neither do the cars, especially where it's needed, in the boost panel section. The Special Cup is supposed to be your reward for beating the rest of the game hence the name, and yet it isn't all that good! Moonview Highway highlights the problems. Again, the music is outstanding, but that simply isn't enough in a track! The cataquacks are very easy to avoid, the track design does nothing for me, and Daisy Cruiser in the background just has you staring longingly at what we could've had. This is a very pretty map, I'll give it that, but other than that, nothing about it really interests me. Wouldn't that be awesome? It's a shame that we are stuck with what we got. Only 40% of the track is even in the ruins! All we needed outside was the start bit, the bridge, and then imagine jumping into the sphinx's mouth to start the inside section (which could be made longer).
This map had some real potential, so it really pisses me off to know that it was done so badly. It is just something they tried to include to make this something special. Yes, the barriers fall off if you hit them, but rarely does anyone even get close to them, unless you take the shortcut on the 3rd corner. It is a well known fact that ghost levels don't tend to work out in this series, and tracks like this are case and point. The hills at the end are quite fun to drift around, and the shortcut past the pyramid is a nice little advantage, the rest is just another slot filler. It is incredibly boring, with your only defining feature being a few small islands which slow your pace as you drive over the water between each island, and all in all, it is just a square with bombs that don't threaten you at all. It is the only track on this game that I hate, and within reason.
