Double Dash review

Overall, the game was fantastic. It's a good addition to the Mario Kart series. The wide selection of characters, karts, and combinations makes the game interesting to play over and over again. The one drawback to the game is the difficulty of the mirror mode, especially in the all cup tour. When you place first in one race in the all cup tour (Mirror Mode), the AI does its best to make sure you don't place first again in subsequent races. Or should I say, it becomes extremely difficult to win 1st place again. I might be imagining it, but the AI becomes fiercely competitive, even close to cheating. Everytime I win first place, the computer attempts to knock me over the edge in the next race, and it succeeds most of the time. And once you get knocked over the edge, 9 times out of 10, you're guaranteed to finish 5th or worse. Magically, all the karts gain exceptional speed except yours. It's very frustrating because the all cup tour is approximately a 40 minute race. You might start out doing well, but once you flop in a race, it becomes extremely hard to climb your way back up to the first place standing again, making a waste of time to play that particular tour.

Lets A-go!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome, to Mario Kart!!! This game is so fun I could barely turn it off! Play as Mario,Luigi,Peach,Daisy,Yoshi,Birdo,Baby Mario,Baby Luigi,Koopa,Paratroopa,Donkey Kong,Diddy Kong,Bowser,Bowser JR,Wario, or Waluigi. You will be picking two players for your kart (One drives the other fires items).
After you pick the players you will pick a kart depending upon which players you choose. Last you will choose one of the 3 cups to race in (in 2-4 player VS. mode you will choose a cup then one of the courses). ***Warning*** If you like to find out secrets by yourself then do not continue reading! If you don't care than read on.

There are a lot of secret players, karts and courses to unlock.
For example: Win the 100cc Star Cup to unlock the Special Cup.
Beat the 100cc Special Cup and you unlock two more players and a kart. The players are T%a%4# & R5r^%$#w. **Error** Was not
able to tell you secret players. Please find out yourself.
Well I'm outta time so if you have or are planning to get a gamecube at least rent this game. You won't be sorry.

Loads of fun!

I've had this game since it came out and it is pretty much the only Gamecube game I play on a regular basis. It is incredibly fun and definitely the best racing game ever. The best part are the items you can use to slow down the other players. This game has a plethora of a ton of different weapons you can use against the other players. At first, it may take awhile to get used to all the different types of items. But once you get the hang of it, it's the best part of the game.

The other cool thing about this game is the network feature. With two gamecubes with networking cards and two copies of the game, up to 8 people can play. There are some limitations of the networked feature (it chooses the characters and carts randomly for each player) and the framerate drops quite a bit, but it is crazy fun having that many live players playing the game together.

Kids and adults will love this game - highly recommended. I just hope they come out with a new version soon before my copy is worn out!

Great, but gets repetitive after a while...

Double Dash is a fun racing game, but like its predecessors, it doesn't really innovate much or last that long, but its still pretty good. Graphics are great and framerate is a solid 60 FPS. Sound is pretty good, and the game can offer a challenge. Don't get this game if you plan to play alone. It's no fun. Get it only if you have someone to play with on a regular basis. It's a solid racing title overall, and considering that the GC doesn't really have a lot of them, it's a lot more appealing. But wait for it to go down to $20 before purchasing. Also try F-Zero if you want A LOT of speed.

No Title

Mario Kart double dash brings back the sixth instalment in Mario's racing history.
Play as one of the origanal NES Mario cast as well as Waliugi/Wario. You steer your charaters own kart of choice as you go through of what is mostly Mushroom Kingdom, wiving in and out of props from your favorite NES games.
You have a gunner and a driver. The driver of course drives, while the gunner throughs random items from green and red shells, to your gunners speaical iteam.
The multi-player is one of Nintendo's better ideas, esspicaly the broadband connection. It would be extremly smart of you to buy this.

Best Racing Game

Get this game if you want a racing game and you like Mario games! This is a very fun game that is better than the old Mario Kart for N64. There are a lot of different levels to race on.

Everyone loves this game.

As a kid I played the original Mario Kart with my sisters and parents on Saturday mornings and had a great time. The latest version is just as much fun for everyone. I have played this game with my boyfriend (age: 25), my sister (22), friends who are female and usually would not touch a video game (22, 24, 22), my mother (46), and all of my nephews (4,5,6). Every single one of these people had such a good time that they didn't want to stop playing. Games like this show exactly why Nintendo is the best option for people looking to buy systems that are not all about macho games or for their kids.

This is one of the best games ever you should buy it now!

This is the best game I've ever played on Gamecube in my entire life. The graphics were good. It is an awesome game that is very very fun. You get to play with over 10 opponents and lots of cars for two people. I especially liked how baby Mario and baby Luigi have a crib cart! The tracks are awesome, me and my little sister (6) love it! If I could go past five stars I would go to 100!

Good game.
