Mario is a man that needs no introduction, and Mario Kart is just one of the off-shoot genres that helped the Italian plumber get where he is today.

To this day, there are only 3 Mario Kart titles; the original Mario Kart for SNES, Mario Kart 64, and Mario Kart Double Dash (if you don't count the handheld and arcade versions). By far, the best one is the 64 iteration, followed second by the original. Double Dash for the Gamecube was absoutely terrible in terms of controls, graphics, and overall fun. The idea was good on paper but something just didn't translate well. Not the case for MK64. This is a great game, and I still enjoy it to this day. Me and my college buddies will sit around, have a few drinks, and have a go with this racing classic.

A+

This is the best racing game i've ever played and the most funest. The game has a cool unique to a racing game. it is tons of fun, and you can play either Mario, Luigi, Peach (The Princess), Toad, Yoshi, Bowser(King Koopa) & Donkey Kong. There are three types of trophies you can recieve, either the Mushroom trophy, Flower Trophy, Star Trophy and A Special Trophy. Cool Hu. Well this game was tons of fun i recomend it to everyone. Peace Out

If you liked this game then check out all of the Mario Games.

This is one of the most electrifying N64 games out there, its a definate must have.This game is addictng to the beginning.I remember playing with my friend almost everyday after school back in 1998. Then I got a hold of it again in 2001,now I just bought a used N64 from ebay that included this game and Im ready for some more action...woohooo.

My favorite track is the one with the long ramp,that sends you flying over the river.

I played this game for week's years ago against a friend or 2 and it was great fun on multi-player. However when I played it one player I hated it. I thought it was too slow and real dodgy. But that was before I actually sat down and gave it a real go. And once you master the sliding/skid turn booster trick, it becomes a lot better.

To do that; you just hold the R button down when going around bends and corners and tap the analogue stick in the opposite direction 3 times. The smoke goes from white, yellow to red then you let go the R and you have a slight boost. Once I had learned that it plays a lot faster.

Overall, the graphics good and the levels are much bigger then the previous SNES version. But it lacks the same competitiveness and fun of the original version. But don't get me wrong, it is great for playing with friends, but it is a different feel from the original.

In my opinion the best Mario Kart out is the GBA version because it is the SNES version with more tracks! (the original SNES tracks are unlockable in the GBA version!) But none the less, this version stands out on it's own.

This version I didn't find to be as fun as the SNES one for a few reasons. They should have had more racers to choose from. And I miss my favourite driver the little Koopa Trooper, instead he's been taken out to make way for a slower Wario. But once I'd mastered that thing to take corners with, it was easy to place 1st in the 150cc.

Overall, I give the one-player game 3 stars and the multiplayer 4.

Cons: Not enough tracks and courses. Once you've mastered the courses on 150cc, there is no further challenges for you in single player mode.
- Not enough drivers to choose.
- The sound effects can be very annoying after a while (like Toads Whoa-Whoa-Whoa-Whoa sound)
- No way to turn the objects off (like banana peels and the hazards of the coarse... it is really unfair sometimes)

Amazing

This was the first 'Kart' game quite like this.. there isn't any 'Kart' game like this either outside of the Mario franchise. If you think you can find a better Karting game out there, I'd like to see you find it and show me, because from my finds and plays, this is the only game that is worth playing. From DK to Bowser, Peach to Toad, this game has most of the characters that have been involved with Mario in some way. The graphics are great for its time, the sound is fun, the worlds are colorful, the idea is great. Who wouldn't like this game- at ANY age? I'm not sure, but if you don't, you amy need to see a doctor. This is the best Kart game ever, and the best Mario Kart game ever.

Good quality fun

This is one of the best games out for the N64. The races and tournaments themselves are challenging and extremely fun. The many characters that you can unlock all have their own abilities and everything else to set them aside. The tracks are not repetitive and give each race a fresh new layer of fun.
Multi-player is an even better experience...Who could imagine that battles with cars and turtle shells would actually be fun? Well it is fun and will keep you playing for hours on end. This game will make your friends ask if they can come over and play. A sure hit with a gamer of any age.

Best Racing Game Ever

This game has brought countless hours of joy to my entire family.
We have been avid Mario fans since the beginning, and this game definitely lives up to the legacy which earlier games have built. For "Pimp Daddy", perhaps if you spent more than an hour playing the game, you would have seen that there are more levels, but they have to be earned. For example, if you beat all the cups in all 3 modes(50cc,100cc,150cc), you get to race in all the levels backwards. Also, you can earn some hidden character by beating the time trials. I am truly impressed that Nintendo can still produce a game of this caliber after all these years.:)

best overall game------EVER

lets just get things straight... mariokart64 came out around january/february 1997 and here I am writing a review in august of 2003... this just shows u how much of an impact this game has had on ppl from all over the world and how it has connected us all. Needless to say the game is an instant classic- with UNMATCHED multiplayer modes and the BEST( yes best ) drifting/driving mechanics ever implemented into a game; hell the drifting mechanics have basically spawned a whole sub-community of ppl over the net who compete for the fastest time trial records- and yes check out mariokart64.com for the proof-it's still going strong to this day. What this all means is that mariokart has had a lasting effect on any racing/combat title created up till' this day... any game in the same genre WILL NO DOUBT be compared to mariokart's standards because it simply is the BEST at what it does/did. ENough of this.... bottom line--- if you have never played this game I strongly recommend u give it just ONE chance,u never know, it may change ur life !!!

Mario Rules!!!
