Rating:  - mario kart possibly the best racer for the n64
Mario Kart on the n64 is an extremly well made game. when one person plays the game for the first time the controls are easy and you don't nead to worry about changing gears. After you get better you can move on to harder levels of play. once you beat the game on 150cc (hardest level) you can race al track in mirror mode (all tracks have opposite turns then their original tracks). the ads more replay value because the game in a sence has new tracks. All the tracks are unique and have varied difficulty levels. they are also well designed.The graphics in mario kart are bright simple and full of color. the music in the game is not very good but it does not mater because of the great sound effects provided by the characters. As with all great n64 games this one accells in the multiplayer department. It will appeal to people of all ages. you can choose from 3 different multiplayer modes battle championship single race. The most fun out of all of those is batlle because you go around getting items then try to hit your friends with any item you get. if you hit your'e oponent they'll lose a balloon they have 3 ballons. This is a party game i would recommend over any mario party game and definitly over didy kong racing. this is a classic n64 game no one shoild be without.
Rating: - One of the best racing games on the N64
Mario Kart 64, the sequel to the first Mario Kart game on the SNES is great. Nintendo got rid of some of the things that made the SNES title so much fun, but added a lot too. The gameplay is much more enhanced, the characters look much better and the individual go-karts are very realistic.Like the SNES version, this game includes 3 modes of play: GP (Grand Prix), Battle, and Time Trial. In GP you choose one of 8 characters: Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Wario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Bowser in a large variety of courses in the Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup Star Cup, or Special Cup (which you unlike by getting gold trophies in each of the 3 basic courses) in 50cc, 100cc, or 150cc mode. 50cc is the easiest, but in 100cc and 150cc the computer gets much faster and more challenging. There are several items you can collect by driving through the question mark boxes which help you during each race. Lightning bolts (the rarest item to get) makes all of the other opponents small, mushrooms give you a speed burst, banana peels make one of your opponents crash if they slip on it, red shells are used to shoot directly at an opponent to get them off course, and green shells keep bouncing off the walls until it hits one of the racers. Unlike the SNES Mairo Kart game, there are several objects you need to avoid to stay on course. In different races there are trucks and cars that will make you crash if you hit them, snowmen that will blow up if you hit them, and many other obstacles in different courses. In Battle mode you and up to 3 others choose one of the 8 characters. You drive around a course trying to pop each other's 3 balloons. You can pop their balloons by shooting red or green shells at them or throwing banana peels at them to make them slip. You can also use the other items to avoid being hit by them. Once all of your balloons are popped you become a bomb which you can drive around the course trying to run in to the other players. This mode is a lot of fun, especially if you get tired of continually playing Grand Prix mode. In Time Trial mode you race in any of 15+ courses and try to set records for each lap and/or race. The controls for Mario Kart 64 are very simple and easy to master, and the music and sound effects are great as well. If you want a great racing game for your N64, I highly recommend that you check out Mario Kart 64.
Rating: - The best Nintendo 64 title - enough said.
Nintendo is a video game company that almost never dissapoints, especially with the Super Mario Bros. series. In 1992, Super Mario Kart introduced a new type of racing game. It became an instant hit with Super Nintendo owners everywhere. And five years later, Nintendo released an updated version, Mario Kart 64. Control, graphics, and character models were all greatly improved over the SNES title. Instead of Donkey Kong Jr. and Koopa Troopa, this game contains Donkey Kong (the one from Donkey Kong Country) and Wario. Though this title has less tracks than its SNES counterpart, the tracks are much more fun, with lots of variety and hidden shortcuts. The battle courses have a TON more variety this time around, and you can even have up to 4 players battle or race! And, since this game is getting old, it has been released as a Nintendo Greatest Hit, with a lower price. In either event, buy this game if you've got an N64. Despite certain graphical limitations, this game will wow anyone who tries it. Also give Mario Kart Super Circuit for the GBA a try.
