This game is very fun. It is satisfying for ages 5-15. We like the way we can shoot stuff at other players, which adds to the fun. It gets boring after playing all the cups for about 1.5 hours. The grafics are good, and the turnig is fine, and we strongly recomend this game.

This is a really cool game. I played this to death i don't know how many times, sometimes alone and at times with a partner.

It's really tragic if you don't have this game when you own an N64, you don't know what you're missing out on.

Um...well, this game is pretty easy and you don't really need a strategy guidebook for this one. I think the only reason why it's so damn fun is because on every track and race, you can race it differently. You can try new tricks or even attempt to create your own shortcut-if you are that good!

Graphics-wise, it's all a let-down, i was expecting realistic models but i got cartoony characters, but then again- it's mario and friends, right?

As a mario fan- you'll want to have this in your hands and if you're not- then play this as a party game. It beats Mario Party in replay value but is somewhat less challenging.

So bottomline- it's a little too easy. But that will not prevent it from being a top 100 game of all time (read EGM #100)....

Mario is back with his Kart and some new friends.

When I first heard of a Mario Kart game comming out for Nintendo 64 I was overjoyed to realize that they would keep up on such an awesome Super Nintendo game. To my amazment, the game came to the 64 with nothing but crisp graphics and pre-rendered characters abound. However, where there comes the good side of all this, there is a bad side; some of the characters in the game, in fact, cheat to win. Now I'm not sure why this little feature was allowed, perhaps to make it more challenging or give us more reason to throw the controller at the wall when Mario suddenly jumps out in front of you. However, you can master there cheating ways by learning how to outwit them at their own game. Find shortcuts and other things that can aid you in your race for the finish. From cheating to graphics and music I must say that the graphics are quite impressive for such a game made so early on. The music is also amazing, with hummable tunes that will get you in the mood to race, or the mood to hit Wario off the side of a moutain just to here him scream. The sure thing to do now is to buy the game, because it is a classic and always will be.

This is a good game for a family

This game is one of the best for 4 player racing. Or Battling. Imagine you're on a go-cart and you can interact with 3 other person-controlled people. Unless you are like me, you might not have played video games with other people. You should. And what's better is that you can talk with the people, maybe even have a get-together with 3 friends of yours, or whatever. It's fun.

Fantastic

This game is addictive, no doubt about it. There are a great many tracks and characters to choose from, and four levels of speed to conquer. Even better are the extremely entertaining four-player modes of this game - probably the most social experience you can have while playing a video game, although that's not saying too much. There have been criticisms that it is not as good as the Super Nintendo version, but ignore them and play the game for what it is. Even with the annoying computer assistance that you cannot turn off, this game is one of the top five or ten games on the system.

OK, but the fun does not last long

This game pits the players against other Mario characters in a variety of race track settings. Each character has different driving capabilities (e.g. speed, stability). The game is fun as it lets multiple players (up to 4) compete against each other, but once you get the hang of how to control your vehicle, the variety of racetracks / characters, really does not add enough variety to make the game something the kids will be playing a month from now.

A great improvment from the last one

In my eyes, this was a great improvment from the last one. Don't get me wrong, Super Mario Kart was great in it's time, but it could've been a lot better. I understand that the graphics had to be somewhat lacking, but if they had made it look as good as Mario RPG, this game would be a lot better in my eyes. 64's version was a lot faster too, it seems as in SNES's version I was just going really slow, and is that what a racing game is about kids? We meet a couple new characters in this game, namingly Donkey Kong and Wario. This is argulably the best racing game on the N64 to date. Look into the spinny thing... you are under my spell... go buy Mario Kart 64 and have a killer time...

Good

This game is fun from the racing to the battle modes. The only flaw is that it is hard to steer, and that's why it's four stars.

A cool game Even better than Super Mario Kart super circuit.
