It's just ok, don't believe the hype

I was really expecting much more. Only buy this game if you really like racing games, because compaired to most games there's not much gameplay value. Sure, it looks great, objects far away are blurred. And driving feels perfect. But the kids and myself all got bored with this one REAL fast. The battle levels feel thrown in and not well designed. Even battling in the games isn't that fun. Wish we'd just rented this one instead of buying.

If you're looking forward to the battle modes, skip this and check out "Super Smash Bros. Mellee" instead. Even with the worst menu I've ever seen, it was 10x more fun than Double Dash.

Impressive gameplay good graphics

Super Mario Kart Doulbe Dash is a very fun and entertaining game but can only be enjoyed fully with the multiplayer modes. When I first saw the game in a local electronic store I was somewhat dissapointed with the graphics. But after playing the game for a while they slowly began to grow on me. The number of characters to choose from from the start is pretty big. These characters include most of the staples from the older games on some suprises like the character birdo who appeared only in super mariio 2 for the nes. Though most of the charaters are welcome to the game some of them are a little to much like the baby marios for instance. We already have good mario and luigi and evil mario and luigi but now baby versions of the same character. Perhaps they could have added some different lesser known characters like birdo rather than bombarding us with the differt version of mario and luigi. Despite this most of the characters are enjoyable and welcome addition to the game. As far as gameplay goes this game is great. Being able to dodge a shoot turtle shells at your appoinents is a fun and original aspect of the game. Not only can you pick up shells but a variety of other items to help you through the race including special items that are different for each set of characters. Beating the entire game was somewhat harder than I expected. In order to win you have to beat all the cups while winning new characters and new carts to help you along the way. Then, once you place first in all the cups by coming in first place in standings , you must go all the way back and play each cup in a row to unlock the mirror world which is each course reversed. This game can provide hours of fun entertainment and goes to show you that all games don't have to be Mature in rating to be fun.

Great fun for the family!

I think this game was very fun. I love how you can play with lots of players and it's perfect at a party. I've only played it a couple times but I still think it is a great game.

A wasted christmas present

I got this game for christmas and i was really really really dissapionted. The levels are so small and boring and i would say that the graphics are even worse than the old N64 version. The two person karts in the game have no effect at all on the excitment of the game. Even the battle levels are extremely small. If u wanna play a mario kart game then just play the N64 version cus this version is the worst game for gamecube yet. There is no challenge in the game at all. If i could i would burn all the mario kart double dash copies in the world, so no one would be exposed to such a crappy game. Good think i got a gift card for $250 dollars to bestbuy so i can buy me a REAL game that's actually FUN!

Comes Nowhere Near the Greatness of the Original

I bought this to play on my new Wii because I never did buy a gamecube, and man was I ever let down. I have a SNES system pretty much just for the original mariokart. It's great, it's something that challenges everyone and can be enjoyed by kids and adults. Double dash is so infantile it sickens me! The battlemode options are terrible! Who wants to play on top of a gamecube? That's the most uninspired thing I've ever seen! And other venues such as cookie land? I wanted to see sequels to the original, advances in the game but the same basic concept. This game is for kids much like the N64 version, look toward the gameboy DS for a better mariokart. A serious let down. If you liked the original at least rent it before you buy it just to see if I'm telling the truth here.

Finally, a good Gamecube game!

Well, actually, Gamecube has come out with a few good ones, but since its release, I have been waiting for Mario Kart to come out. It was like the 2nd game out for N64, and I was surprised that Super Smash Bros. made its Gamecube debut before Mario Kart. Anyway, it's coming and it's sure to be as good as, if not better than, Mario Kart 64.

For starters, the game is more interesting now that you don't just pick 1 character...you pick 2: one to drive and one to throw items at the competition. This will make the game much less boring, since you can do so many combinations.

Also, this version has all of the latest popular Mario-verse characters. The other versions of Mario Kart for N64, SNES, and GBA were all really limited in the character-choosing aspect. Now, it looks like we'll have all the characters that we saw in the newer Mario Party games and Mario Tennis. Waluigi is a cool character and I can't wait to see how he is in this game.

The long wait is almost over, and it's just about time to get one of Nintendo's best games! Buy this, it doesn't get old! Let's just hope that they come out with MARIO TENNIS for Gamecube soon! I mean, they came out with Mario Golf, and that game is so not worth it...

Mario Kart Double Dash Is By Far The Best Racing Game Ever!!

Awesome! This is the best of the mario kart games and everyone should own it! sooo much fun.

Incredibly boring tracks,"2 riders" idea adds almost nothing

Ok I just want to let you people know that in terms of gameplay, this is kart racing at its best. But the most important part of any racing game by far in my opinion is the tracks you have to race on. They have to be interesting and well designed. The tracks are what made MK64 so fun, they were well designed, long, creative, etc.... I expected a LOT better from Double dash. Theres probably about a total of 4 or 5 decent tracks in this game. Not very impressive! Very few shortcuts, boring design, nothing special at all.

And as far as the 2 riders idea, its so overhyped its rediculous. Ok, so instead of seeing a banana peel flying from your cart..... um... you see another character throwing it? Each player has their own special item, but that doesnt really matter, its pretty much choosing which special weapon you like best. And switching drivers and riders in mid-race does absolutely nothing.

I just wanted to warn the people who like awesome tracks in their racing games, and that this 2 rider idea adds nearly nothing to the game at all. Big stepdown from Mario Kart 64.

The game I play the most!

It's one of the first games I bought, and the only one I've played with so much.
