Mario Kart won't survive another videogame generation if Nintendo waits another 7 years to make a sequel. Famously, at E3 when they were still introducing the gamecube, Nintendo showed charts displaying how game sequels were just perpetuating old ideas, like anyone minds. The big N's idea for the GC Mario Kart was to give them two riders. The difficulty on 50cc is pathetic, you'll never see another kart for the length of the laps. 150cc is challenging but the placement is random determined by whether you get hit by a spiked shell in 1st or not on the last race. Multi-player is bland, no one is going to hook up two tvs, two gamecubes and two mario kart discs. The multi-maps are simple and limited to one level.

I would have enjoyed seeing some obstacle courses where you dodge bananas, etc. all through the lap. Also, many other tracks are too plain. DK Mountain is probably the best of them.

MKDD may look the same as MK but it isn't

Ok maybe it is a little close but it is sooo much fun. You play with two people one driving one hitting people. When you have two players on one kart it is awesome. I wish I could play it all night

life is good

Mario, Peach, Bowser, and the Mushroom Kingdoms hottest Kart-racing stars team up for a hilarious action-packed race. 16 cups and 100s of races make this game sweet fun. This is the Best Cube game I have played all year. This game has pretty much every character yes even king boo. MUST HAVE NOW !!!!

two riders are better than one

The latest installment to the Mario Kart series has just arrived. The very first Mario Kart game was a classic and will remain that way forever. Mario Kart 64 hit the N64 and had surprisingly good qualitys. Mario Kart: Double Dash has the good qualities, but not many.

As you know, there are two characters handling a kart. One drives, while the other handles all the items. There are three modes: 50 cc, 100cc, and 150cc. You also get mirror mode as you progress through the game. The character selection is very good, they have got every Mario character there ever was. But character selection really doesn't matter because they all good and bad. There the same.

The level selection is good, but could have used more levels. Then the races begin. The driving is real slow, and after playing F-Zero GX and playing this, your bound to get a seizure.

The multiplayer is pretty good too, but nothing you'll get that attracted to. The battle mode is good, but it certainly doesn't offer much variety.

Graphics: 8.0/10
Gameplay: 7.8/10
Sound: 8.7/10
Playing Value: 10.0/10
Multiplayer: 6.0/10
Variety: 4.0/10
Lasting Value: 6.0/10

OVERALL SCORE: 7.0/10

It's definitely a game worth playing and is a lot of fun, but it's too slow and offers poor variety.

Could have been better, but still tastes sweet.

There is no story to a racing game. Moving on.
This game just cannot stand up to Mario Kart 64, but is still unique in its own. For one, you have two racers per kart. What type of kart you can drive is judged upon the character that weighs the most on your team. Light karts has high accel, but low top speed. Medium karts are well-rounded. And heavy karts are the opposite of light.
Each character have special weapons. The two characters most related share the same weapon. Such as Wario and Waluigi have bombs and Baby Mario and Baby Luigi summon a chain chomp. How far behind you are in the race improves the odds for you to get a special weapon. It is best to mix two characters with two different special weapons.
The graphics are nice and there is no choppness in the game at all, but I wanted more of a background to enjoy. The eye candy is just not tasty.
The music is way too easy to ignore. This game could have worked harder on the aspect in order to be proud of it like Mario Kart 64. The audio is quite low.
The gameplay has a twist to other racing games, you can collect items and lay on the offense to other players. Laying banana peels, using stars, throwing shells....
Hint: If a weapon explodes, you lose all your items and the person on the back will ALMOST fall off (Implying they never fall off).
In the races, you can switch the roles between the two characters on the kart. From driver to item thrower.
Muitplayer for me is only good when you are racing each other. When it comes to any battles (Balloons, Bombs, Shrine Sprite keep away...) the arenas are just too small for me.

It just falls short. But I recommend it.

Preety Good

I love everything in this game. The graphics,the sound ( big time) but there is some flaws. When you are doing the Grand Prix,what happen to retry's if your 4th to 8th? This makes the game almost impossible. But that's a good thing. We want the game to be more challenging (unlike to Mario Kart 64). In this game,you can unlock characters,karts and even battle areans.Now I've spoken about that,there's 3 modes in battle

Ballon Battle: Same as original Ballon mode in MK 64
Shine Thief: Touch/Run into a sun and don't get attacked for 1 minute (this match is pretty easy for people who have the sun)
Bomb Battle: Collect bombs and hit people 3 times in a row to win!

Overall 4/5
This game is great except for a few important flaws.

New and improved mario cart

This game is awesome... there are more stages plus you have two people on your car. There are new characters like Daisy,Toadette,and Baby Luigi, you even get to pick the car you drive. I highly recommend this game if your a Mario game fan.

Great fun!

This game is exactly what I expected and more, my friends and I greatly enjoy playing it together, the levels are much better than they used to be, but still the great quality and fun of the old game.

Love, Love, Love this game!

My son played this game at a friends house - and loved it. I waited a couple of months to make sure he really wanted it, and sure enough, he plays this game at least a couple times a week!
Am VERY glad for this purchase! I HATE to buy games only to have them sit and collect dust!
