It's a cool game with 20 new tracks and 20 classic tracks!
It's full of surprise and there is a lot of difficulty in the game, but there is plenty enough!
The multiplayer is one of the best thing (however, I don't have any mates here with a GBA-console, though)!
Also the Time Trial is a great feature and the Quick Run is perfect for your trainings!
The only thing I miss is the row of banana's and the jump feather (and the 3 mushrooms for in the Grand-Prix's). For the rest it's a must!

Kid at heart

I became hooked on this game from the old Super Nintento System, which I guess gives away my old age(33). I was thrilled to learn that it was available on Gameboy Advance.

The game has great grahics with beautiful color. The boards are better than the old system, but more difficult too. Of course without a challenge, we would probably soon be bored with it. I think it is interesting how your completion of a cup (e.g. Flower Cup) is rated to show how well you completed it (e.g. E, D). This adds an extra challenge to return to the cups you've already beaten to finish them even better.

With a small portable system like Gameboy Advance I can carry it around everywhere.

The only drawback for ME is that I loved the battle mode on the old system and of course with this one you have to have someone else with a GBA and a gamelink to play it.

Overall, it's a great game to play and a great stress reliever.

This is a truely fun game. If you own a Game Boy Advanced and have thirty dollars I recommend you buy this game. If you don't have thirty dollars than you better start collecting bottles!

I got the game last Christmas from my brother along with my GBA and about 7 other top-of-the-line games. This is the only one I can still pick up and play for hours. The graphics truely show off the GBA's capabilities; the first time you play you're probably going to be so surprised with them you'll lose your first race. The comical music, snarls and sarcastic comments from your opponents, and the sound effects are awsome. I personally love Luigi's evil laugh as he passes you by while you're boiling in Kupa's lava. And the gameplay. Oh my, the gameplay. This is the single most fun racing game on a hand-held I have ever got my hands on. And trust me, my hands have been on a lot of racing games. Even after beating the game you'll be kept busy with the challenging courses, old-school Nintendo obstacles like lava pits and galloping crabs, possible weapons to slow down your enemies... and slow down you, new unlocked levels, 3 different difficulties, dozens of levels, and 8 different racers. Mario fan or not, this is a must have.

sooooooooooooooooo fun

The Best Game For GBA!!!!!!!!!!

I have had this game for almost a year, and I am NOT EVEN CLOSE to getting tired of it.
You can race with Mario,Luigi,Peach,Yoshi,Bowser,Wario,DK,and Toad.

For 50cc I like Toad the best.
For 100cc and 150cc I like Mario the best.

You start with 16 tracks, and if you get the gold cup on all 4 cups you unlock the special cup.

Secrets: 1. Extra tracks: Step 1: Win the gold cup on any of the cups. Step 2: Go back and win the cup and collect at least 100 coins total on all 4 tracks AND get a ranking of ''C'' or higher. Extra title screen: Win all the gold cups on 50cc,100cc and 150cc to unlock the sunset title screen.

For all of you who read this, Have fun!!!!!

So you like Mario? You like the Mario Kart games? You wish you could play Mario Kart while on the road? Here is your wish: Mario Kart Advance. What a great game this one is, with new levels, sharp graphics and sound, the same characters, and massive fun. Though it is more similar to the SNES version of Mario Kart, you can not complain about this game in any way. It is hard or easy depending on the speed you play it at, and this game is just a rush...

There is one flaw with this game though that stood out to me. Whoever the first 4 players to win the first round of the series of races, are the same 4 players that will be in the top 4 the rest of the series, UNLESS you play on 150 cc , or possibly 100 cc. That aside, this is a great game, nonetheless.

Just as good as the ol SNES version!!!!

This new version of Mario Kart is just like the Snes version, and once you've actualy beaten the game, or use a code, the original tracks from the SNES version are actualy in this game too!!!!!! Which is what makes it the best Mario Kart game ever!!!

There is loss of the Koopa turtle thing, the graphics are improved, but it's still the same great game for Mario Kart lovers!!!

Where are the %$#@ feathers!

This game feels and looks exactly like the first Mario Kart for the Super NES, except they changed all the race courses and raised the bar in difficulty. However, I have one major complaint... they switched the feathers for those stupid rare blue spiny shells. On almost every level I can see all these great short cuts, and I don't have any feathers to help in jumping over walls. Anyways, since there are no feathers I would give this game 4.5 stars. It is a great game with wonderful replay value.

I love this game, the graphics are pushing the GBA to it's limit in this traditional Mario Kart Game. It has all of the charactors returning from the N64. With 20 brand-new levels and 20 returning levels, it will keep you playing.

Graphics- Brilliant- 6 Stars out of 5

Sound- Perfection!- 5 Stars out of 5

Game Time- Longer than the energizer Bunny- 6 Stars out of 5

Overall -Best GBA game yet- 5 1/2 Stars out of 5

I currently own the snes and i have supermariokart. Its a great game but mariokart super circuit is ten times betta. Its more challenging and has new tracks and new items such as the triple green shell,the triple red shell, and the spiked shell. Plus all new drivers too. There are rankings that tell how good you are with the triple star ranking being the best. OOh yeah, for those who have the gamecube or are planning to get one, there's a mariokart game that will come out. for more information go to [website] and search for mariokart. OOh yeah, HOW DO GET WALUIGI AND THE SPACE CUP?...
