Very Good, But...

First things first, the graphics in this game are absoultely amazing. The colors are worth the buy, period.

Secondly, the game play is another great feature, although there have been some deletions from Mario Kart 64 that I don't quite agree with. The removing of the jump when taking tight corners sucks. Instead, it's been replaced by a slide attack, which does do a good job of slowing you down, but that's exactly what it does, is slows you down around corners. The jump was better. Who wants to slow down? It does make lots of fun on straight-aways, however, slamming in to other players and stealing their items.

I do like the Driving School which teaches a begginner, as most of us would be on this specific game, how to properly control your kart.

In this game, a new feature is the doubling up of players in one kart (hence the title: Double Dash!) and while I love the concept, to me it would be better if all was left well alone and one player remained in the kart. In all honesty, the second player isn't really necessary.

Overall, I like the fact that Nintendo decided to try something new with this one. And it was well worth the wait. The course selections are great, the variety plentiful.

All in all I give it four out of five.

Hop in a kart and have a ball

This is a great game and worth your money. This time in this Mario Kart game there's 2 people on every Kart. The guy in front drives, and the guy in the back deals out the items to slow down your opponents. Some of the new characters are Koopa, Birdo, Baby Mario and Luigi, Baby Bowser, Waluigi, Diddy Kong, Princess Daisy, and Parakoopa, along with the original characters. You can also unlock Toad, Toadette, and I think there is Petey Piranha and King Boo! Another plus is that there are different Karts this time, not all the same dopey ones.

There are all the same items, but this time there are Special items that are different for every character. The Special items are Giant Bananas, Hearts, Bob-ombs, Fireballs, Giant Shells, Eggs, Chain Chompers, and Triple Shells.

The racetracks are fun to race on. Probably the best is The Wario Coliseum, once you get the Special Cup. There are plenty of shortcuts and Double Item Boxes. Plus another good thing is that whenever you get a new Gold Trophy, you unlock a new Kart, Cup, Battle Stage, or character.

When you've got a friend or two, it's even more fun. You can team up on one Kart, or race or battle against each other. There are 3 Battle Modes: the classic Balloon Battle mode, Bob-omb Blast, or Shine Theft, which in my opinion is the best.

This is a good game to buy. It only takes 3 memory card blocks, but a little more if you want to save ghosts on the Time Trial mode. I can't think of a bad thing about this game.

MEGA FUN-BLAST!

Mario Kart: DOUBLE DASH!! is one of the most fun games for the gamecube yet. I think the best part is that I don't have to play against my brother - who is no good at it, by the way - and always win. Now, he gets to fire weapons, and I get to fairly win.

The special items were amazing! C'mon, what other game lets you fire out a shell that's as big as 3/4 of the road, or how about firing a chain chomp that pulls you along at a breakneck pace whil eating everyone into some place behind you? That's right! None! So if you like amazing racing action with frenzied attacks, then you will love Mario Kart: DOUBLE DASH!!

An Excellent game for Gamecube!

Mario Kart Double dash is and excellent game for anyone who enjoys racing, and competing.
You can bash people with shells, use your mushrooms to burst through finish lines, and nock people off the edges of the course. Now, two people can be on a team! One person can stay in the back and chuck items at other carts while the other one drives, and you can switch! There are many, new, fun courses that you can play through. There is also a wide variety of carts to choose from, and more players. I think anyone would enjoy this game, it is a must have and one of the best for Nintendo Gamecube.

great racing in your own home

mario kart racing is a lot of fun. our children's dentist has this in his office waiting room and we just had to buy it for ourselves at home. Both of my boys, 12 and 5, like to race each other. My husband even gets in on the game. I haven't been able to squeeze in a session between the three of them.

Better than Mario Kart 64!

his game is one of those games that you will keep playing until the next line of consoles come out. This game is hectic one player and even more hectic if you bring friends over. There is the engine size like in all MK games (50cc, 100cc, 150cc, etc.) the higher the CC the faster you go and the harder the AI is. after choosing your cc you get to choose your characters and your kart. You get two characters per kart each charaacter with a special item (baby mario gets chain chomp, DK gets big banana, etc.). after choosing your characters from the list of 16+ you choose your kart. The karts are sorted by weight class (light, medium, heavy). your characters determine what weight class you are in, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. after that you choose between 4 cups (mushroom, flower, star, and special) each with 4 tracks in them. by getting golds in the cups you unlock new content like extra battle tracks and characters.

speaking of battle this is one of the best parts. get your friends together and blow them up in one of three battle types (shine thief, bob-omb blast, and classic balloon battle). in shine thief you want to take control of the shine until the timer reaches zero, get the shine by hitting them with shells, banana peel, or whatever else. in bob-omb blast every question mark block is a bomb and you blow each other up first to 3 or 4 hits wins. In balloon battle you have three balloons and the last one with any balloons wins. Knock your friends out by shooting them with shells to make their balloons fly away.

All in all i think this game is one of the best on the gamecube and i recomend it to all gamecube owners.

My 8 year old novice gamer loves it.

This review is from an 8 year old's point of view.
First my son loves picking his own characters. Each character has its own special feature. Baby Mario has the Super Chomp Chomp, Donkey Kong has the Super Banana Peal, etc.
Depending on the characters you have several carts to choose from. Then you have 10 cources to choose from.
This game has stayed new and fun to him because of all these choices.
The multi-player mode works great. This is a game that up to 4 kids can play at the same time so you don't have to hear, "HE'S NOT SHARING".
I must say there is one game I enjoy playing with him. Most games I could care less about but with this one we have fun together.
So from an eight-year-old novice gamer. He loves every bit of it.

The Best Game of the Year!

Ok. So we all know you're addicted to Mario Kart 64, and if you're not, big mistake. So why then, would you go and spend $49.95 on what seems like a new version of the same game? Because the new one is SO much better. First of all, now you pick two characters when you play- they work as a team. There are plenty of new characters to choose from, like Babies Mario and Luigi, Peach and Daisy, Toad and Toadette, and Donkey and Diddy Kong. There are new fun levels like "Daisy Cruiser" (on a cruise ship) and "Wario Collosseum," which resembles a rollercoaster. What's more, you can now choose your own kart. So if you're going to be addicted to any new Game Cube game this year, I'd make it Mario Kart Double Dash if I were you.

One of my favorites

I don't play a whole lot of games but this one is one of my favorites. When Mario Kart came out a few friends and I stayed up pretty late over Thanksgiving weekend playing this game. It has been a year now and we're still not tired of it. We still haven't gotten the gold cup in all races either. Recommend for a group of friends who don't mind getting knocked around by red shells and exploding bombs. Not recommended if you have neighbors who like to sleep at 2 a.m. :-)
