I love Mario Kart double dash a lot, even though it is now considered an "old" (3 years) game. Great for parties, as are all Mario Games, and very competitive.
Mario Kart is the BBBBEEEEESSSSSSSTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!

Mario Kart Double Dash is a great editon to the Mario Kart series. What makes this game so unique is that there are two drivers per kart. The one in front is the driver and the one in the back uses the items. You can also choose any combo of characters you want. There are tons of great tracks, like one of the most famous ones, Star Road. There are also many items, like the green shell, the banana peel, and the fake item blocks. Multiplayer is also great with awesome battle arenas. Any fan of Mario Kart will definitly love this game.

Mario Kart Double Dash!!
One of the best games $30 can buy.
Race yourself to set the fastest time on 12 different tracks in Time Trial mode. Challenge your friend to a race on your favorite track, or battle each other in 3 modes of play on 4 cool tracks. Choose two of your favorite Mario characters; there are 16 to pick from. Pick your car and race to victory. Race from solo to 8 players (you can play with 5-8 players if game system is linked to other systems). Plus pick up items to slow your opponents. This game is awesome to play with family and friends. It is also very easy to learn. Rated E, it is suitable for every one.
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.

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
