Mario Kart DD is absolutely awesome! I have to admit that I was a little hesitant about liking two riders for each kart. After only about a minute or less I was absolutely hooked on Mario Kart AGAIN! DD is in my opinion the best kart since SMK on the SNES. I have been a huge Kart fan my entire life since they came out. Double Dash is so incredibly fun that any fan of the other Kart games should simply go out and buy this game! It really is that good! Don't bother renting it first, JUST BUY IT!!!! It's sooo worth it!

Mario Kart Double Dash adds another great game to the Nintendo collection.
There are 16 characters. 4 are unlockable.
The game is racing with 2 people on a go-kart racing to win the championship.It is a 4 player game.
There is 4 modes, 50cc,100cc,150cc, and mirror mode.
50cc is the easiest, mirror mode is the hardest.
You can be any main characters from nintendo.
There are 16 courses. Each one has its own twist.
You collect cubes with items inside to get weapons then fire at people.
If you are a nintendo or racing fan I advise you to get this game.
It may seem silly to older people but, they will love it.
But the conclusion is get this game.
It's worth the money.
Terrible

Having played Mario Kart: 64, I had huge expections for the hopefully advanced Gamecube version. I was truely dissipointed.
Reasons:
- Very small. The tracks are very small. It takes less than 30 sec to compleate most races, most while Mario Krat: 64 races take me 2-7 minutes to compleate.
- The batteling is horrible. The batteling arena is very small, and the only enjoyable (Which saved this game from 1 star overall) batteling segment is where you throw bombs at each other.
- The replay isn't good. This game takes 1 hour to master for the average gamer to beat.
Basically, the major downfall of this game is that it is too small. In the N64 game we had fun, and sometimes long race tracks. Hopefully, Nintendo will improve...
They have the game with the bouns disk seperatley.

Did you guys notice that they have the game with the bounus disk as a sepearte item than just the game by itself. I recommend ordering it with the bonus disk.
Anyway, this game should be awsome. Based on the prevoius 3 Mario Kart games, the series is awesome. The first was one of the most popular games on the Super Nintendo. The second was an early Nintendo 64 game and the third came out on Gameboy Advance a couple of years ago. This is the first time they made a big chance to the karts themselves having two riders in each cart instead of just one.

I play this with my friends. We are all grown men. We're so pathetic but we don't care. When we play, we randomize our characters and cars. It really makes the game interesting. It totally sucks when you get stuck with some losers like Wario and Petey Piranha. All Wario does is throw that lame bomb that never hits anyone, and Petey Piranha's head is so big that you can't see the road in front of you. I prefer Donkey Kong and Toadstool. If those two characters ever come up for me, the game is over dude. Usually I'm the champ but the last time we played, Ron won. But we'll see who takes it next time. Anyways, go get this game. You'll get your money's worth and then some.
I've Already Played This Game . . .

. . . on the Nintendo 64.
- Is there $50 worth of additions? No.
- Is there $50 worth of better graphics? No.
- Is there $50 worth of new characters? No.
- Is there $50 worth of new gameplay? No.
- Is two characters in one cart worth $50? No.
- Is GC broadband compatibility worth $50? No.
Face it, this game is not a sequel, it's an expansion pack. Moreover, single player is no fun at all. Has our society become so blind that we spend money on games that WE ALREADY HAVE all the while there are people in other countries who are STARVING? I mean, give me a break, donate $50 to a worthwhile charity and play the N64 version for crying out loud.
WHERE'S THE CHALLENGE??

Let me just start off by saying that this is my first Mario Kart game. If all of the games in this sieries are this easy, then Nintendo needs to learn the meaning of CHALLENGE. I played this game for 1 week and beat it very easily. I mean, the racing part is pretty cool with all the hidden shourtcuts and traps, that part I liked. But it wasn't very exciting and the game as I said is way too easy. I reccomend this game for a seven or eight year old and this would be their first racing game. I also should say that I didn't think this game was worth the $50 at all. Should you get this game, WAIT UNTIL THE PRICE DROPS, TRUST ME!!
You can drive so fast and good!

Man I put this game in and right away I drive so fast and good! I win some of them and then I get to not win as many but I still like to play the girls. My favorite part is when you be a baby. My worst favorite part is when the dinosaur steps on me and I get flat. when you play try to go down to play on the flower part but the mushroom part can be hard to beat sometime. You shoud play on the flower part. and play on for a bit and then maybe try the mushroom part. One time I find a car like a pipe!

Mario is the focus of Nintendo Gamecube because it is so popular. These games can sell for more than $50. In fact, I got it in a bundle where you get the Gamecube and the game. Anyway, Mario Kart: Double Dash is when you are racing against other racers and karts. Double Dash is up to 4 player and in the carts there are 2 people. One is driving and the other is throwing items at the other karts.
The GOOD THINGS about Double Dash:
The Characters- The original Mario characters are here. Also, there are new characters like Baby Mario and Luigi, Diddy Kong, and Baby Bowser. It is exciting to see many new characters.
The modes- Instead of just racing and cups, there are many other ways to play. Of course the different modes are more fun with other friends, but sometimes CPU is good also. Some other modes include battle, versing against each other, and time trails. It is very fun.
The graphics- The nintendo creators have really gone an extra mile with the graphics on the Gamecube. Most people know that the graphics are not good on the Gamecube, but this game really surprised me.
The BAD THINGS about Double Dash:
The amount of creativity- All of the Mario games have chain chomps. All Mario Kart games have desert and valley tracks. They do the same thing with this game. They could have been a little more creative.
Pricing of the game- I know that this game is very popular, but this game has been out probably around since the Gamecube just came out. The game is still $50. I'm not playing it as much anymore so this game does get boring and you will probably stop playing.
In all of my reviews, I say if I would buy it or not. This time, I would say if you really wanted it, it would be worth it.
Not what I was expecting

Mario Kart: Double Dash has 3 main problems:
The steering is very very tough to control. You practicly have to jam down on the control stick to get the cart to turn.
You cannot pause during a race. That's very bad when you have to go somewhere during a race-- it makes you either miss the race or be late for where you are going.
The "Double Dash" part has no effect on the game at all. It doesn't matter if your character is in the front or back of the cart, you still have to control both characters.
Overall, very very disappointed in this Nintendo game.
