This has to be the best game on the cube. It has all the things I liked about the first Super Mario Kart for SNES, and much much more. It also seems a lot more fun to play than the one for N64. I should warn you that lots of things are different than the N64 version so it isn't going to please N64 die-hards who want an exact sequal, but on the other hand, those changes make it about twice as awesome. Start on the easiest circuit and work your way up for days of enjoyment. Just when that enjoyment ends you get the fun of trying to race any track fast enough to unlock the secret staff ghosts (semi-transparent ghost racers of the game staff racing their best), and when you have unlocked a staff ghost you get the extreme challenge of beating them for another week or more of entertainment( and frustration). No one should be without this game (and I usually hate racing games).

Excellent!

I purchased this game for my daughter for Christmas. As it turned out, my husband and I had put more time into than she did. We were gold cup champions for every race and at every race a new prize was unlocked. The "weapons" were great. The red hooming shell that would follow the opponent until it made contact and the fabulous blue shells, we called them first place flyers, were always a big hit.

Awful...

Let me first say that I've always been a huge Nintendo fan, and I am in no way biased against Nintendo or the "childish" image they have been given. That said, I have to be honest: this game sucks. I really can not figure out why everyone seems to love it. The graphics are pretty bad for the GameCube and are not very detailed at all (the steering wheels are octagonal, characters are just really shiny instead of having any detailed textures, etc.), the gameplay is boring and gets old very fast, and the music is annoying, synthesized, repetitive crap. It seems to me that the developers were just lazy here, the poor graphics are a testament to that. I haven't seen characters without fingers since the N64 days. But hey, if you know it'll sell no matter what, why put any effort into it, right? When I bought it, I figured at the very least it would have fun multiplayer as in previous Mario Kart titles, but I was wrong. I went to a friend's house and we both got tired of the multiplayer modes within 10 minutes. First-party Nintendo games have a history of being excellent, but I feel really let down by this one. Do yourself a favor: save some money, dust off your N64 and keep on playing the Mario Kart for that.

It's not the 64 one but it's still great racing

In my opinion Mario Kart are one of the better racers, besides Need for Speed. I like the hyper-realism of something like Gran Turismo or Midnight Club 3 but it's kind of boring cause you just race period. Mario Kart has gameplay elements that actually make you interested in the race. It feels slightly slower than the 64 version but it still looks great.

Story: No story literally. Basically you have racers that want that gold cup and go through different race sets to do it. Old favorites return like Rainbow Road which looks more stunning than the old one and some new ones.

Graphics: Very nicely detailed. Areas like Rainbow Road are simply great to watch but then you have to actually watch the road. Others look rather bland like souped up 64 versions instead of complete overhauls.

Sound/Music: Traditional voice one-liners like "let's-a go!" or "Yoshi!". The music has that nice bubbly catchy music but it's not catchy. What the?

Gameplay: The big change from 64 to Double Dash is right in the name: you have 2 racers per kart now. So Mario is teamed with Luigi, Peach is with Daisy(Luigi's chick I guess), and Baby Mario with Baby Luigi and others.

If you get a red homing shell but don't wanna use it, move your guy to the back and get something else until you need it. The specials are roughly the same with the backwards ? which derails you, homing red shells, ever-travelling green shells, awesome-but-inexplicable blue ones(I have no idea how they work, I just fire them).

Courses in a way are a little complicated than in the past. You'll be bumping into walls a lot and even falling into pits/water which is incredibly frustrating especially when it's such a sharp curve with very little turning room.

There's plenty of secrets to be found and shortcuts that you can explore but this game as usual best works with multiplayer which you'll get your fun's worth in bucket loads.

Good Karting Game

Peach beach is my favorite course ; very nice look also ' anyway this game is for long time mario kart players so bye this game you wont regret it :)

Fun, fun, and more fun

I owned Mario Cart 64 for the Nitendo 64 but this game far surpases it. Tha ability to play with another person is great if you want to play with someone instead of aginst them. Also this game has unlockable characters and corses. Also the addition of new battles gives a you evean more options for fun. So overall this game is FUN FUN FUN for 1 -8 players alone or on teams!!!!!

Awesome

I love the Mario Kart series but this one took a new twist. Adding a second character to your kart for extra fun. Double Dash is brilliantly crafted, awesome graphics and cool stages you'll love to play over and over again, especially Baby Park as it can get pretty wild after the first 2 laps.
Tons of characters to choose from and unlock, every character has their own special weapon. The best being Bowser and Baby Bowser's Giant Bowser Shell, Donkey and Diddy's Giant Bananas and Yoshi and Birdo's Egg. Pick any of these characters and you will have a disaster path behind you.
One of the best games to play with your friends or alone, either way, a must play and a must buy.
