Nintendon's other big push for Mario Kart 8 is in online play. it seems to work as advertised, butI'm hardly inspired by racing against strangers with no persistent leagues or overall ranking structure to validate my progress. I see MK 7's online as much more of a distraction than a destination.

Not grinding per se, but that second sentence is a perfect parody level summation of the phenomenon.

Fun 10/10
Increasing numbers validating lifechoices 0/10
Overall 3/10
