Mario Kart Super Circuit

Mario Kart Super Circuit is a great deal. With 20 courses, different modes, fun characters, and super graphics, Super Circuit is the best GBA racing game ever. Special feature is 1 cartridge can play up to 4 players with just the Game Boy Advance Game Link Cable (too bad it's not included). There's eight different characters including Mario, Luigi, Yoshi, Peach, Toad, Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Wario. The controls are simple with attacking items that can make yourself defensive and a sudden burst of speed. Others can make enemy racers lose items and crash. In Mario Kart Super Circuit, there's different cups, Mushroom (easy, Flower (medium), Thunder (hard), Star (advanced), and last but not least the Special Cup(win all four cups to compete in the Special Cup.)

I received the game early and it is definitely amazing. It is a lot like the 1992 Super Mario Kart (SNES) version, only this time it is with the characters from the n64 version - Mario Kart 64. Sorry, no Koopa.

There are 40 tracks to race, including those from the SNES version. Characters include: Bowser, Donkey Kong, Wario, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Yoshi and Toad. There is the GP mode and Time Trials along with a new "free run" mode.

This is a must have for all gameboy advance owners who like racing games.

Hope this helps.

Marios back and better than ever!!!!!!

This is a very excellent game. I when I first played it, it was slightly difficult to control because it feels a little bit different than the N64 version, but I got used to it after a while. It has incredible replay value, because not only does it have (i think) 20 all-new tracks, but it has all the tracks from the original Super Mario Kart.

The graphics are amazing and the original tracks are almost perfectly recreated (there's a few minor things missing, such as pipes and other obsticles). There is also more depth added to the game because of a rating system for each racing cup you play. The highest rating is 3 stars, which is virtually impossible to achieve, assuring that you will play this game a very long time before you get a perfect score on everything.

AWESOME GAME

This game is worth buying. I especially love the booby-traps like the pokey turtle and the banana peel. It is a super game and I am soooo happy someone just gave it to me in August 2006! Even though its an old game, it is very worth it!

Awesome game!

If you're an old school gamer like me and loved Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo platform then this is the game for you. Even if you like racing games, this is just one of those games that you MUST play, without a doubt. It's great for all skill levels and age ranges. You have the easy/medium/hard option (50cc, 100cc, 150cc). There are 4 cups you can choose to race from, each having 4 courses. So that's 16 different race tracks to get your wheels on. And even better, when you get really good, choose the 150cc level and race in the Star Cup. If you manage to get first place (which is EXTREMELY hard) you can unlock the Special Cup that has 4 additional tracks to race.

The game graphics are excellent. I especially like the race courses where it's raining- it just looks very cool.

This is definitely one of my favorite games on Gameboy Advance and I highly recommend it for everyone, kids and adults alike!

can't go wrong with mario kart!

Should be a hit

This game should be a hit. With the popularity given by the SNES and N64 to Mario Kart, it should be one of the GBA top sellers. Featuring the same characters from the N64 game, this should represent Mario Kart for SNES more than anything else. It is laid out into four circuits: Mushroom, Star, lightning, and FLower. If you beat these, you will unlock another circuit.

The graphics are very complex, but the game is a bit slower than the N64 and SNES versions that most people are used to. The 4 player link mode is very good, and works just like a 4 player N64 game. There is a battle mode, a grand prix mode, and a vs. mode; all from the N64 version. Just like the SNES version, there are coins that litter the tracks and collecting them will speed you up.

Good but I think it could have been better

Lots of people seem to think this is the best gameboy game. Well I defenitley think that its not the best but its pretty good. The good things about the game are that it has pretty good graphics and sounds. Also at first it may seem that it only has a couple track but thats not true at all. When you un-lock all the tacks theres over 20! Some of them arent that original (the first track in the game is original but then theyll make it same background track type and add a couple of extra curves still fun though) And theres lots of characters that when you choose them youll feel like your going faster or turn worse. But the bad thing that makes it not that good to me is gameplay. The game play is good not bad by any means but its easy to get off track and ALL of the tracks are increidbly short. The longest one takes less than 3 minutes to do 3 laps. Also its very easy to win races but if you crash its hard to beat second. And most of the time you always come in second or first so theres no real good gameplay. Occasionaly you might have a barely win race but thats not likely. Yet its easy to win but when your done with a race you get a rateing (F D C B A) And its impossible almost to get an A but yet its easy to win a race. I think many of these problems could have been fixed by haveing it on a bigger system because the scale is so small a little bit of a wrong turn leads to a crash and it gets pretty annoying if you want an A rateing to un-lock more tracks. All in all i think its a fair game. I give it 4 stars because its just not bad enough for three with its redeming qualities.

Did You Like the SNES Version?

Mario Kart Super Circuit for Game Boy Advance is best compared to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) counterpart. If you began liking Mario Kart with the Nintendo 64 version, then the GBA version will not live up to your expectations. However, I have friends who prefer the SNES version; so if you are one of those, consider the GBA version an upgrade from the SNES version.

In the GBA version, the graphics are rather decent as compared to the SNES version. The GBA system is 32-bit; and compared to the SNES (16-bit), there are more capabilities.

Your perspective is behind the racer, and the graphics flow smoothly all around your driver with a great 3D-like perspective. The levels are quite nice, and the drivers and graphics are well-detailed.

The gameplay is a lot like the SNES version where hopping doesn't help you very much (it helps a LOT in MK64!), but it surely upgrades the item usage. That is, you can line your shells up much better, and negotiating turns is much easier.

The action involved in the game is complimented with the Gran Prix mode where you can win tournaments. Linking up with others, in my opinion, is the best feature of the game, hands down.

So if you like portability and you appreciate the SNES version of Mario Kart, this game will suit you nicely. Also, if you like to play Mario Kart by yourself, this game can burn some time for you. But if you started your Mario Kart career off with the N64 version like I did, then you will be slightly disappointed with some of the general gameplay capabilities. (The GBA game plays nothing like the 64 version.)
