As always, Mario Kart is great fun - though it lacks much ambition.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is the fourth game in Nintendo's acclaimed kart-racing series. As always, it is a ton of fun to play, and is especially great for multiplayer. However, it all feels like it's been done before, and with only sixteen tracks, the fun runs out fairly quickly.
The new cooperative dual-racer feature is actually very well done. One person can control both characters as if they were one, or two players can work together with one controlling all the racing and the other controlling items, speed boosts, etc. The two can swap at any time, and this makes for frantic multiplayer fun. It's a very well-implemented feature.
As far as the single-player goes, there is only the standard grand prix and time attack modes. This is very disappointing, as it makes it so it just isn't very much fun to play alone for long. A more expanded single player would have been great.
Also, the game would have been so much better if it had had about twice as many tracks, and more variation between characters. The scope of the existing tracks is also limited - larger environments with more branching paths would have been great.
All in all, you can't go wrong with Mario Kart. Nintendo could have done much, much better, but that doesn't stop it from being a fantastic multiplayer game, as it has always been.

Very Exciting and Fun for all ages

MK:Double Dash is almost the best racing game Ive ever played. Im a little embarassed to say that because it is a Mario game, but it is a very good game. There are levels to unlock, characters to unlock, fun multiplayer modes, and its difficult. This game will not get you tired of playing it like SSBM. It is the best Mario Kart game to be made yet. Hopefully Mario Kart Wii can be this satisfying.

Its a fantastic game. Its a totally new version of nintendo 64 Mario Kart. The kids love it. I recommend this game.

Great addition to an amazingly fun series.

I've been a fan of the entire Mario Kart series since it's original game. Any person can sit down and enjoy this game. Simple and easy to play on 50 CC and great Nintendo mascots.

Graphics: 8.5/10. Most game sites did not like the graphics so much in this game. They thought they were good but nothing special. True, but they didn't appreciate them enough. The cartoony and bright graphics fit well in this game, and the character models look great. The only real flaw is that they are a wee bit dated.

Sound: 9/10. It's all here. DK's trademark grunts, as well as Bowser's, Daisy says "I'm Daisy" so much it makes you want to shoot her with a red shell... it just sounds good. The tracks have their own little track too so there is a little music as well.

Control: 9.5/10. A lot of people hate the controls for this game. Why? I have no idea; but they are very realistic. Very, very realistic. For example, when you are going down a straight away and do a sharp turn, you will not turn much unless you use R to drift. Drifting well is essential to win races on 150 CC, so you have to get used to it if you want to win those karts and 2 extra characters.

Fun: 9/10. There is a lot of fun to be had here. Especially on multiplayer. You and a buddy can team up on one kart or go head-to-head; your decision. There are quite a few characters to race with from obviously Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Yoshi, and so on, to less popular mascots such as Birdo, Diddy Kong, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, and many, many more. Each set of characters have their own "special", too. Baby Mario, Mario, Luigi, and Baby Luigi all shoot a set of five fireballs, Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong throw a large banana, and so on. You can also unlock the special cup after you beat the star cup, which adds to the games 15 levels to make it 20. This game will be hard for kids, and maybe for some adults, but with practice you will succeed. Even after you have beaten the game on single player, you can still have your way with up to 3 other friends, or you can play on LAN. This is a great addition to the series and I recommend ( if you haven't already ) that you pick it up now.

9.6/10

Mario Kart Double Dash is a fun and exciting racing game that you fill find yourself constantly wanting to play gainn and again. Pacing is only half the frun of the game. You also have to use crazy items to protect your self and mess up the other racers.
Pros
-So many diifrent characters to race with
-So many diffrent courses
-1-4 players
-Items make the gameplay even more fun
-Sound and Graphics are great
-Choice quotesfrom the charcters add even more value to the game

Cons
-There is no need to have two characters on one car
-It is hard to find some of the secert paasage ways that are hidden on the race course

Overall
A fun Mario game that is worth a purchase because it is hard not to like that charcters, cars, courses, and items that are in this game

at first i had mix feelin about the game

This is by far one of the best racing games. The best thing about this game is that you get to throw bombs, turtle shells, bananas, and lots of other things. It is a great game to play with 1 friend or 4 friends.

Awesome Game

My brother and I got this game last year for Christmas. In my opinion, this game was one of the best games I have ever played because of the excellent graphics and the fun stages. (The stages are the places you can race in). There are 4 different stages to unlock (the star cup) and you can also unlock cars, characters, and mirror mode, which is all the same races, but backwards. Id say that this game is definitley worth the buy.

Best Racing Game Ever

My dad bought the game for me last year. I thought it was like all mario games, simple and usual, but when i played it, I had a blast! there are 5 cups you can win and over 20 ways to play! It is like the old verison, but now the can be up to 8 players in vs. mode! but to play 8 plaers, you need two tvs, 8 controllers and 2 gamecubes. I strongly reccommend this game to race fans!
