Mario Kart 64, one of the first games released for the Nintendo 64 platform, is an updated translation of the very popular Super Mario Kart for the Super NES (SNES). And while the game clearly takes full advantage of the graphics power and speed of the N64, a few components that made the original so compelling have been left out of this release. Still, Nintendo's expertise at sucking players into the game world is strongly evident, and Mario Kart 64 offers enough challenges to keep players (especially casual gamers) entertained. Placing a familiar Nintendo personality behind the wheel of a sputtering kart powered by a 50, 100, or 150-cc engine, the game lets players race computerized opponents or up to four other players on a variety of well-designed tracks. Because karts lack the power and speed of race cars, drivers must focus on collecting power-ups and nonlethal weapons rather than negotiating hairpin turns on two wheels. Grabbing and using on-track items is the heart of the game's fun: a strategically-placed banana peel sends the unlucky victim into a spin, nailing an opponent with a turtle shell launches their vehicle skyward, and a rocket provides a quick boost to near-breakneck speeds, if only for a moment. The multiplayer mode provides enormously chaotic fun for up to four players--flip it on at a party and watch the guests congregate around the screen.Read full review
A fun time passing racer! -The Good -Multiplayer -Battle Modes -The Bad -Graphics -Lack of Modes of Play -The Summary -A good racing game, if you’re willing play many courses on end with that (besides battle mode) being the only thing you can do. Other than that, there are many interesting and genuinely fun tracks to race on! There are 16 tracks (4 per Racing Cup) to race on, not including battle arenas. You can race and battle on these tracks using 4 classic Mario characters. Racing is fun, but when you’re all raced out, you can battle with up to three friends in on of the four battle arenas. In battle, you must fight for your survival using various pick-ups, such as shell and bananas. You must hold on to your three balloons, or you’ll turn into a bomb on wheels (literally)! -thepokeson
