Disadvantages: Might be too challenging for some people, not a lot of characters

One of the first Mario kart games in the series, Mario Kart 64 was and is one of my favorite games for the N64 along with a list of others. The game has a multitude of levels to race on. The one player or 'campaign' sort of mode, can actually be played by 2 players as well. I have done this many times with my brother and friends.

Advantages GREAT FUN
Disadvantages LOSES ITS MAGIC AFTER A WHILE

...Mario Kart 64 isn’t the most impressive game I have ever played, but it certainly deserves the title ‘classic’, as so many people have rightly said. The original game on the SNES was a revelation, with great graphics – almost true 3D in a way, and yet the game was so much fun to play and a hundred and one imitations of Mario Kart have been released – none of which, not even Mario Kart 64, have been as good as the SNES Nintendo masterpiece. However, the N64’s version is a very entertaining game, one of the most sought after Nintendo games at the auction sites at the moment! The game play was always the major success in Nintendo home titles, and Mario Kart delivers the most superb playability! The handling of each character’s ‘car’ is superb, and all have various different qualities... Read review

Advantages Excellent multiplayer game, better items than before
Disadvantages Less track and character choices, skill differential is rather steep

...One of the most surprising games to ever appear on the Super Nintendo was Super Mario Kart. At first, it seemed, well, goofy - there were always plenty of racing games to go. But this game had something that some of the others didn't: style. Not a hard-edged, sophisticated, I'm-too-cool sort of style, but a flippant, yet serious about game play style. It was a runaway smash with everyone I know. Thus, nobody I knew was surprised when Nintendo made Mario Kart 64 one of the initial titles for the N64. Considering how much I enjoyed the first, I had to go for a ride. First things first - how does it handle? Perhaps the greatest problem any racing game could have is poor handling. However, the carts roll along rather nicely. Of course, going into a turn at high speeds is going to be difficult, but that just makes sense. Other common... Read review
