I always liked the wii version because it didn't have such aggressive "balancing" and you could win by half the racetrack or more if you played well and didn't get blue shelled. I don't know if the newer ones are like that, but it was a welcome change at the time in my opinion.

8 was somewhat like that, while World is very shortcut and item dependent. Items are extremely powerful, and if you’re unable to take a big shortcut, because of a lack of mushrooms or skill with the new mechanics, and especially in the routes/intermission tracks (they’re basically tracks between the normal tracks and they mostly kinda suck), you lose. Even if you’re first spot for the most part. Still really fun tho.
