It has tons of replay value since you can race up to four people.Sound the music I think is pretty good. I like the music that they play on rainbow road. Peach's voice is the only part of the game that I just cannot stand.Gameplay Excellent! it is easy to learn, but it takes a while to master. different karts add different dimensions to the play. there are tons of items to collect in the levels which adds to the fun. There isn't a better feeling than knocking your opponent of the track.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Rating Reviewed By Roman PicnicFrom Netherlands Review Date 05/07/2000 Overall Rating 5 of 5 Rate this review? Summary I think Mario Kart is the best racing game in the world. I still race a lot with my friends. We all want to be the best and there's a lot to learn before you can call yourself a master. I know all the tricks and this game is all about strategies. There are numerous ways to use your weapons, and if you're good you will definetely win. If you don't, you're not good enough. Sometimes you feel like blaming the game for losing, or you might have some bad controllers, but it's still about them skills!Sound The sounds are all-right. I really like the annoying sounds, the characters make, this way, the tension between the players increases.Gameplay If you play the game as much as i do, you will sometimes get bored with the tracks, but after a while you will feel the urge to race again. Over and over. I wish there were more tracks in the game, but I ain't complaining. The game is only interesting when you play it with your friends (or feinds, actually!)Would you like to Comment?

When I get headaches I turn it down with the L buttonGameplay Some say this is not as good as the SNES version I agree. The gameplay is different but still fun.Would you like to Comment?

Some people say that it isn't as good as the one on Super NES. I disagree. The only reason Super Mario Kart is so great is because it was ground braking for the technology of the Super NES. This arcade racer is cerainly lots of fun and will keep gamers hooked. There was one main downfall for me on this game, no Koopa Troopa (My Favorite on Super Mario Kart) but nothing that would stop me from buying this game. The multi-player races and battle mode greatly add to the replay value.Sound Pretty good sounds that fit this game well. The background music fits the theme of Mario Kart very well. The sounds made when you get hit by somebody bigger than you (example: Toad and Bowser), getting hit by a shell, hitting a banana, etc. are also great.Gameplay Lots of fun. The tracks are very creative and and designed brilliantly. The multi-player is also great, the only think I didn't like about it (when playing with more than two people) is that the people I'm playing against always committ suicide because they want to become a bomb and try to kill the other players. The down fall to that is that if playing w/ three people and two die, there are no other players to kill because somebody will have won!Would you like to Comment?

The multiplayer mode will keep you playing for a long time.Sound You can hear the roar of the engines clearly and the music isn't annoying.Gameplay It's easy to control the karts and it is pretty challenging at 150cc.Would you like to Comment?

Summary Mario Kart 64 is an awesome game. It's a classic update of the SNES Mario Kart game. All the racers are there and there are many courses and stuff to do.Sound The Mario sounds are all in here. The upbeat tunes fit into Mario Kart 64 very nicely.Gameplay It is great. There are many courses and cups to compete in. The tracks are all greatly designed and are fun to race again and again. You have all the Mario characters in here as well.Would you like to Comment?

Firstly, and most obviously of all, it is far too easy for experienced gamers. It also seems strange to me how when you fall behind in a race you begin overtaking other racers with ease, but when you do take the lead the chasing pack seem to catch up with you, however far you are winning by. I think the difficulty level is not helped by the fact that the computer racers cannot use certain useful pickups like the red homing shells, and they make poor use of the ones that they do use. The two player grand prix is good though.The single player isn't the driving force behind the sucess of Mario Kart (that was admittably terrible!) , it is for most gamers the multiplayer. The races are great fun, and the way that the pickups given to losing players get steadily better depending on their lower positions always helps even things out. The battle mode is also great fun and a paticular favourite of mine, in which you and up to three other gamers can use shells, bananas, fake pickups and sheer brute power (when big characters ram little ones) to beat the living hell out of one another in a last man (or woman) standing match. The time trial is also a good addition to the game, and is terribly difficult to master. To sum it up this game is great in multiplayer, which merits 5 out of 5 alone, but pretty easy, if slightly fun, in single player. Sound The tunes are very happy and cheerful, but that isn't a bad thing, and some of the tracks are actually quite nice to listen to. Although the character voices are a little repetetive, the are are a vital part of the happy feel to the game. Luigi and Wario's voices are paticularily amusing. The lack of music in more than two player multiplayer is a bit of a let downGameplay Mario Kart is very easy to play, and very easy to beat the computer at, but this ease of control makes it very simple for people to get together to play its stunning multiplayer. The game runs very smoothly.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.

Summary This is almost a great game but almost the same game but with way better graphics for the Sony Playstation. Crash Team Racing !!! This is still a great game though with the battle part of the game and the time trials you can really beat some a$$. This game is really fun. I like this game a lot. It is really fun. I have gotten trophies on all four cups. Gold on three silver on one. This is acutally a great Player's Choice game that came out in 1997. I like this game because it has fairly good graphics. The graphics in this game are not as good as Crash Team Racing.The controls in this game are very easy to use and the game runs fast. It is really good. It is good for a Player's Choice game that's for sure. The graphics in this game are pretty good. It is pretty 3-D and it has almost perfect body fat and 3-D graphics on Mario, D.K., and even Toad or Princess. The sound in this game is pretty important and almost excellent. It sounds when you start the motor to soon and they squeak and twists. It sounds really cool! I like the sounds in this game a lot. Sound -Gameplay -Would you like to Comment?

Summary Who out here remembers a little SNES classic called Super Mario Kart? God, that was such an awesome game. Everyone loved it, and for good reason; it was one of SNES's best games ever. It was so popular that it spawned its own sub-genre. So you can imagine I was pretty excited when I learned of a N64 version in the works (although I was 15 at the time; too old for that game by most people's standards). Well, I played it when it came out and while I am pleased to say it was a fun game, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed; Mario Kart 64 is a good game, but it's nowhere near the level of greatness its predecessor achieved. There is a lot of fun to be had with this game, but it is nowhere near the classic I hoped it would have been.Sound Cute is the best word I can use to describe the game's sound. Music, sound effects, and voice-overs are so cute that anyone who is made sick by the notion of cutesiness will need to bring along a barf bag. Even thought they are overly cute, the sounds in this game are done very well, no doubt about it. They are muffled a bit, yes, but like I said before, blame the system, not the game.Gameplay If you can find a way to play this game with a group of friends, this'll be the second best multiplayer game N64 has to offer (Goldeneye being first, of course). Games like this are the reason Nitnendo put four controller ports into its console. And Mario Kart 64 makes great use of the four ports; multiplayer Mario Kart is so much fun. Even if you're only racing with one other gamer, you'll have a lot of fun with it. The single-player game is fun too, but not as fun as the multiplayer mode. Controls are very responsive for a racing title, and the use of the N64 controller reminds me of playing all those racing sims on my dad's computer with a joystick. There are plenty of tracks to race on, and with 8 drivers, this game won't get old too quickly. The weapons are cleverly desinged and some of them are pretty funny when used properly. Herein lies the level of depth that gamers may not expect from this game. This game is more than just seeing who's fastest; it's also who's lucky enough to get the right weapons, who's good enough to use them properly, and who's in the right place at the right time. This is also a game that will prove fun no matter how old you are. It may look like a kid's game, but just like Super Mario 64, its appeal will reach farther than Nitendo's targeted audience. Simply put, we know good games. Nintendo knows how to make good games. So needless to say, you'll find adults and teenagers having fun with this game, and rightfully so. It may not be the venerable classic that the original was, but you've gotta admit, Mario Kart 64 is still a very fast, very fun game.Would you like to Comment?

Summary This game always had a lot to live up to as the sequel to one of the most amazingly fun games in console history so the expectation of this 64bit follow up was vey high indeed, and considering Nintendo's reputation of producing innovative sequels ie Mario 64, Zelda, etc, This game has to be one of the biggest and unexpected cock ups in the history of videogaming. Dont believe the hype this is an awful game go for Diddy Kong racing instead or even better dig out your SNES and play the original and far better title. Lets hope the Gamecube version if any retains the originals majic.Sound Basically the same annoying tunes that everyone used to sing along to on the SNES version.Gameplay The gameplay has not changed much really you progress through the Mushroom, Flower and Star cups followed by a special cup. The power ups again are all there in there glory with a few extras. As in the SNES version the one player mode is not what this game is about its the multiplayer and with now it being possible to have 4 players playing at one time the possibilities seem endless, oh but how wrong could you be. The first problem are the match races which are fairly entertaining with two players but add that to 3 or 4 and all of a sudden the game speeds up to an unnatural degree rendering impossible to control. The battle modes are now on three times bigger rendering them null and void because they are simply to big and you end up just racing around never getting anywhere. Add all that to the very very easy 1 player mode you are not left with much to go on.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member. Rating Reviewed By Ultr@ Psycho® Ultr@ Psycho™From Portugal Review Date 11/17/2000 Overall Rating 5 of 5 Rate this review? Summary This game is special. This game is a classic. this game is magic. It's Mario Kart 64! Do I need to say more? It is not just a racing game, it's more than it. It's one of the best Ninty 64 titles. you've to own this game if you consider yourself a Nintendoid.Sound Nothing special. The music isn't bad. The voices are irritating sometimes (especially the voices of our opponents while surpassing us *S*).Gameplay Unique. The handling is incredible. The characters are funny. The laughs are many. The multiplayer is one of the best of all time. And it's funny and chalenging to perform the famous shortcuts for most of the tracks to gain extra time. A problem: sometimes on the racing mode and on multiplayer mode, sucess depends of luck, of which object we get from the interrogation point boxes.Would you like to Comment?

Summary This game is very good. It has good sound, it has good graphics, and it has good gameplay. I had not played this game for very long before I good hooked and really got into it. It is a very fun and sometimes challenging game, with games such as Diddy Kong Racing being modeled after it. Believe me, this game is worth the money.Sound The sound is okay, but it could've been better. The sounds were realistic, but I think some of the sounds could be a bit more realistic. For instance, if you run over a bananna, it makes a funny noise instead of a screeching noise. I think that they could make these parts a little better. This is a cartoon game though, which does make things a little different thatn in real life. The sound is just a preference of mine.Gameplay The gameplay is good. I like the concept of the game. It is racing with a catch. You can get hit by shells and lightning just to name a few. This is neat because it's much more fun than just plain racing. This is one reason why I really like this game.Would you like to Comment? Join VideoGameReview for a free account, or Login if you are already a member.
