So Mario Kart 8s AntiGravity is really pointless... Right?

Maybe I'm missing something but like

MK 7 had gliders that let you fly through the sky and you could drive under water

Double Dash had 2 characters per kart that let you switch between and the game itneoduxed having multiple items at a time

MK DS introduced the Mission Mode...

But Mario Kart 8's Anti Gravity is literally pointless. Like you supposedly drive up walls and stuff but gameplay wise it just seems like your just driving on any normal part of the track and doesn't really add anything.

Like in previous games you had steep sections of tracks but when those tracks were ported to Mario Kart 8 those parts became anti Gravity sections which further make some realize how pointless it was.

Like am I missing something? Does the An it Gravity make you like... Go faster or drift better or do anything you can't do when racing normally?

Could someone explain? 😅
