Mario Kart 64 is a simple but good game. It's especially good for beginners because it has a minimum of controls, but still a lot of fun. You can play in a Grand Prix by yourself or with a friend, or take on your friends without computer players; even challenge them to a battle! And with a hidden game mode waiting to be unlocked, you're sure to be cruisin' at high speeds!

Awesome Game That is TONS of Fun!

This game is so much fun! There are a total 4 cups and there are 4 in each cup so there are 16 different courses!! The graphics are very cool and the course sceneries are awesome! You get to pick from 8 players--Mario-Luigi-Princess-Toad-Yoshi-Donkey Kong-Wario & Bowser. Each player has different speeds and special abilities to turn and jump. You get bombs to shoot your oponents-mushrooms to go faster- a star that also makes you go faster and you can go through items and much more! My whole family loves it (especially the kids-ages 12&14) and we VERY often sit down all together and play all night! It is a wonderful game for the ENTIRE family! I recommend this game to anybody!

classic

I'm just sick of reading reviews that dont show mario kart of what it really did but i'll tell you what it really did.

Mario Kart was one of the first games out for nintendo and the first game that started series of mario games for n64. Such as Mario party 1,2, and 3 also adventure games like super mario 64 etc. and many more to come.

Mario Kart was so good because the tracks were so detailed yet not so detailed that the whole game is messed up because of it. And it's just so addicting because it's easy gameplay. And you cant say nutin bad about it.

So if your looking for a good game for n64 that was better than any other mario game in history besides melee. This is the game.

A Classic!

Mario Kart 64 is, without a doubt, one of the best games ever made for the Nintendo 64 (or any other system). Even today, 8 years after its original release, Mario Kart 64 is still amazingly fun. The controls are PERFECT- and I do mean perfect. The first time you go power sliding around a sharp turn, you'll see what I mean. The game is perfectly balanced- each character has strengths and weaknesses. Your skill determines if you come in first- not because you picked the best character. Oh, and I haven't even spoken about the brilliant course design. Every course has shortcuts, and special features, making them truely unique. The placement of the powerups is wonderful. And the multiplayer... Oh the multiplayer! One word: brilliant. Playing with your friends is exciting, competetive, and will have you laughing like crazy. This is what multiplayer gaming is all about. If the game does have one weakness, it is the graphics; being 8 years old, Mario Kart 64 doesn't stack up well against today's crop of games in terms of visuals. But when you're having this much fun with a game, do the graphics matter? No way!! Even if you own the Gamecube version of Mario Kart, you still owe it to yourself to pick up a copy of this timeless classic.

Still a great game 9 years later

I remember I was 6, and I had just gotten a Nintendo 64. At such a young age most of the games out were too complicated for me and I had to find something I could understand. Enter Mario Kart 64. This game is pure and simple, you pick a character and race with seven other famous Nintendo stars in 16 detailed (for N64, anyway) stages. This was one of the N64's first games, so for me it turned the system into a classic which I still play today.
This game was much better than Super Mario Kart, and much better than Double Dash. In this game you can choose from 50cc - 150cc (which isn't much), and depending on your speed, this could be very boring, or the ride of your life. I mean seriously, who wouldn't want to speed down Yoshi Valley at 200 mph? For its time in '96, this game was amazing, and I still play it today. I am 15 now, so it has an enormous replay value. And the only stage I dont like is Banshee Boardwalk.
If you have a Nintendo 64 (which not many people do), then buy this NOW!

Mario Kart is Fun!

When I had this game, I did not stop playing until I got to winning the game. It's fun for awhile to throw objects at people that are racing against you. It has a four player mode, which is not bad, but sometimes gets a little confusing when you're watching other people racing. The split screen should never be included. Although, that it is which is easy to get distracted. But Mario Kart is fun and it should be in one of the hand-held games, too. I wouldn't mind playing this. Oh, I have the one on Gameboy Advance, which is cool but not like the one from Nintendo 64. Now, that confused me.

My Favorite Racing Game!

i;m not that big on racing games, but this one just blew me away! at first... but then it got very easy very fast! and you need at least 2 N64 controllers to have fun. this game is a lot better with 2-4 players, otherwise, it can just be easy, boring, and dumb after a while. but then you take a month or two break from the game, and it's pretty fun again... for a while.

TOAD RULES!!!

WHAT, I'M WRITING THIS REVIEW ABOUT 4 TO 5 YEARS AFTER THIS GAME WAS RELEASED. BUT WHO CARES, THIS GAME IS THE BEST MULTIPLAYER GAME EVER!!! AND I'LL SAY THAT WITH NO SHAME. EVERYBODY IS ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT HOW THE BATTLE MODE IS THE BEST THING BUT I THINK THE VS. RACING MODE IS. MY FRIENDS AND I HAVE PLAYED THE ... OUT OF THIS GAME AND I SERIOUSLY THINK WE ARE SOME OF THE BEST MARIOKART RACERS EVER(NO LIE). SO THIS GAME MAY BE KIDDIE BUT WHO CARES, IT'S FUN AS .... IT HAS THE BEST REPLAY VALUE WITH 16 TRACKS, ALMOST ALL OF THEM ARE GOOD EXCEPT FOR TOAD'S TURNPIKE AND RAINBOW ROAD( WE CAN BARELY TOLERATE MOO MOO FARM), ALL THE OTHERS TRACKS ARE EXCELLENT! BUT PROBABLY THE BEST PART OF THE GAME IS THE WEAPON BALANCE BECAUSE IT ALWAYS ENDS UP AS A PHOTO FINISH AND THERE'S REALLY NO BETTER FEELING THAN WINNING AGAINST YOUR FRIENDS AT THE VERY END OF THE RACE. IT'S GREAT!

P.S. TRY TO BEAT MY WARIO'S STADIUM TIME TRIAL BEST TIME---18'06!!! NO CHEATS WERE USED, JUST SHORTCUTS.

Modern classic
