 MARIO, LUIGI, STEP ASIDE... BECAUSE I'M-A WINNINING! March 30, 2006
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
To be picky here, it's 3 stars because some things that you may not notice. The game is fun, what with its amazing courses in the astounding Grand Prix. But some requirements didn't meet and build up a trophy. If only it had more characters, better graphics like the DS version, and a little less like the terrible and draggy Diddy Kong Racing. But, it's all A-okay.
The fun and enjoyment of the racing is what attracts everybody to play. Fun is the Superman of Mario Kart 64, the racing is the Batman, even the weapons can be Wonder Woman. Everybody, agree or disagree, three stars is better than 1 terrible star and 2 measly stars. Let's say, "Mario Kart, in fact, is a general video-gaming classic".

 Mario Kart is Fun! December 6, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
When I had this game, I did not stop playing until I got to winning the game. It's fun for awhile to throw objects at people that are racing against you. It has a four player mode, which is not bad, but sometimes gets a little confusing when you're watching other people racing. The split screen should never be included. Although, that it is which is easy to get distracted. But Mario Kart is fun and it should be in one of the hand-held games, too. I wouldn't mind playing this. Oh, I have the one on Gameboy Advance, which is cool but not like the one from Nintendo 64. Now, that confused me.
 Nothing compared to the snes version August 23, 2005

I guess this game is ok if you take it by itself. But if you've ever played the snes version of mario kart you are going to be very, very disapointed. The tracks are slow and boring for the most part, theres very little difference between the characters, and the powerups are weak.
The graphics are ok, but the suffer from very repeditive texturing, which can get pretty boring after a while. The only other good thing about this game is the 4 player capability, which makes its ok for parties etc.
Still, you'll thank your self if you can get your hands on a copy of the gba or snes version instead.

I played this game for week's years ago against a friend or 2 and it was great fun on multi-player. However when I played it one player I hated it. I thought it was too slow and real dodgy. But that was before I actually sat down and gave it a real go. And once you master the sliding/skid turn booster trick, it becomes a lot better.
To do that; you just hold the R button down when going around bends and corners and tap the analogue stick in the opposite direction 3 times. The smoke goes from white, yellow to red then you let go the R and you have a slight boost. Once I had learned that it plays a lot faster.
Overall, the graphics good and the levels are much bigger then the previous SNES version. But it lacks the same competitiveness and fun of the original version. But don't get me wrong, it is great for playing with friends, but it is a different feel from the original.
In my opinion the best Mario Kart out is the GBA version because it is the SNES version with more tracks! (the original SNES tracks are unlockable in the GBA version!) But none the less, this version stands out on it's own.
This version I didn't find to be as fun as the SNES one for a few reasons. They should have had more racers to choose from. And I miss my favourite driver the little Koopa Trooper, instead he's been taken out to make way for a slower Wario. But once I'd mastered that thing to take corners with, it was easy to place 1st in the 150cc.
Overall, I give the one-player game 3 stars and the multiplayer 4.
Cons: Not enough tracks and courses. Once you've mastered the courses on 150cc, there is no further challenges for you in single player mode.
- Not enough drivers to choose.
- The sound effects can be very annoying after a while (like Toads Whoa-Whoa-Whoa-Whoa sound)
- No way to turn the objects off (like banana peels and the hazards of the coarse... it is really unfair sometimes)
