A lot of fun, but some problems

Mario Kart 64 is a lot of fun, especially in multi-player. The graphics are dissapointing though. Your charectar has a 2.5D look instead of full 3D. The sense of speed is not great either, but the game lets you choose between a 50cc, 100cc, or 150cc engine. There are a lot of tracks in the game, and they are very detailed with a lot of colorful enviroments. If you want a great multi-player game, get this, but if your looking for a pure racing game avoid this.

One of the Best racing games of all time!

This game is a must have for any N64 owner. It is an interesting veiw at racing games. Now its innovative Idea is spreading. When I first got I was glued to my TV for hours, it was fun, addicting and a great party game. My favorite part of the game was the special items you get to use against the oppent to win. TWO THUMBS UP!!

The best racing game i have ever played the multiplayer mode is great! You can battle or just race the other players in a versus mode. The Mario GP has 3 modes 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc. When you race the object is to get the most points which is great!

Great kart game!

This is great kart/racing game! The graphics are a bit disappointing, but overall it cool! When some of my friends come over and they play, they're just trying to beat each other, they even punch each other to distract the other person! It's seems to be a very competitive game to them! I just love the Time Trial Mode, making a good time then taking hours to try to beat it again! It's challenging in it's own way!

Love it

This game is great. Keeps the Nintendo feel for racing but makes the driving better to handle. It is the perfect blend of serious racing and arcade.

It's the best.

A Fun Family Game

We have had this game for a couple of years and really enjoy it as a family. The ability to play with 1 to 4 players makes it much more enjoyable than many other games. Most of us are competitive at it and no one completely dominates the play. Having the battle option really adds when we get tired of playing the race games.

Great Competitive Family FUN

This game is a must for any N64 family. Being a mature adult i cant even express the excitement and competitive fun this brings to everyone. If you have never enjoyed a video game i assure you this game will change your mind.

The original Mario Kart back on the SNES was a classic and wisely, Nintendo have decided to keep much of the gameplay intact for this version. There have been some changes though, in what seems to be an attempt to keep the game fresh and to allow it to use the full power of the N64. The question is, did the game really need that much work when it was already a winning formula. Actually, most of what Nintendo have done works extremely well. The characters hang together well and single player is now generally more fun. Unlike in the original game, where computer characters had an unlimited supply of there own weapons putting you at a disadvantage, they now pick up weapons from the track just like you, putting an end to frustrating moments from the original where Mario would activate his invicibility just before the finish line and zoom past you leading to lots of swearing and the probable spiking of your joypad into the floor. The bottom line is that the single player game is now all down to skill which does make the game slightly easier in the long run but, ultimately, more satisfying and with four cups and three skill levels, it's not going to be a game you finish in a hurry anyway. Multiplayer though is where the game really comes into it's own. This is probably the game that's seen the most amount of multiplayer action since I bought it and four player racing can't be beaten. With twenty tracks and the option of racing variations on all the courses when you've finished the one-player mode and this is one game you'll never tire off. The only area in which it falls down is the multiplayer battle mode. This was one of the best features of the original but the new courses just don't seem to work. A real shame as otherwise, this would have been a five star game. That aside however, there's not many racing games that are more fun than this.
