Honestly, I think 200cc mode has wound up as slightly easier, and a ton more fun, than 150cc mode. Granted, you have to learn the new racing lines. But the higher speed tends to stall out the item problem that has plagued the game. It's easier to catch up due to the multitude of shortcuts the higher speed allows, and it's easier to space yourself from your opponents to avoid the constant bombardment of items.

I played some Mario Kart 8 tonight with my sister. It'll be a while before we get to try the 200cc mode, we've only had a Wii U for just under a week so we're currently making our way through the 150cc cups. We've only just unlocked the Banana cup xD
