I did some quick testing of your new Suzanne.
While I don't know how to make good karts, I can still see how a kart looks and feels.
Here is some feedback:
- Suzanne's face doesn't follow as closely the original Suzanne face from Blender, but that's arguably a good change to make the character look more natural (and better).
- I like the animations for turning (including details such as eye movements and blinking) and reversing, as well as the cute win and lose animations. Much better than the lifeless standard Suzanne! The jump animation is underwhelming however.
- There are several elements of the kart which are meant to look as if they don't have edges according to the lighting type used (such as the big nitro exhaust pipes or of course the wheels), but the polygon edges are still quite noticeable. Of course it's more visible in kart preview than in race, but even in race it's visible.
- I suppose the grey main color of the kart was picked for Blender, but I don't like how it looks.
- While the previous Suzanne kart is perhaps oversized, this Suzanne kart feels too small.

EDIT: Some other things I noticed afterwards:
- This new Suzanne is lacking headlights. Test in a track such as Ravenbridge Mansion and compare with the headlights you get if playing as Tux, Godette and many others
- In 3-strikes-battle, the extra wheels are covering up the nitro exhaust pipes, it looks strange.
