Review For Mario Kart 64

Submit a review! For this or any other game

Description: Race around many cartoony tracks with your favorite Mario characters in Go-karts. Play with up to three frends while using items like shells and banana peels to set back your opponents and grab the gold!

Darwin
The Good: The classic & fantastic multiplayer mode! Love the highway race and the battle rounds...

The Bad: Peach... she gets more annoying with every game. The only female star in Mario world doesn't have to be so meak and helpless.

The Ugly: Too little game ... no adventure mode implemented, which I expected in a 64-bit incarnation of this classic...1 player mode is a drag (no pun intended, honest.)

Favorite part: Duh...the lightening bolt! shrinking your apponent and then squashing them like a bug never gets tiring!

Least Favorite Part: Being squashed like a bug when someone else gets that precious lightening bolt...

Alucard The Undead
The Good: Four PLAYER, baby! Yeah!!!!!

The Bad: I can't believe there are actually LESS levels than the original. What ever happened to progress!?

The Ugly: Going up close to the background in DK's Jungle. I never knew a jungle could be so... flat.

Favorite part: Four-player battle mode. Need I say more?

Least Favorite Part: Realizing the stupid computer-controlled racers CHEAT!!!

Dreemz
The Good: REAL kool racing game with real long tracks in the Star and Special cups. This'll keep you occupied if you're bored. WAAAAY better graphics than the first. And I wanna say, the chars. here could Kick the Diddy Kong Racers' BUTT!! WAY faster!

The Bad: You can never find your opponent in battle mode, things get a little TOO hard, and...um...is that all?

The Ugly: Banshee Bordwalk. What else can I say? U-G-L-Y. Bowser's castle, too. And the thwomps in there. Yick!

Favorite part: Smushing or shooting opponents! Heh!! And the music!

Least Favorite Part: Most of the tracks near the end (And when younger opponents who pout if they lose beat me...)

Peach
The Good: Winning! Winning! Winning! I am NO longer a helpless, meek, princess. I can seriously KICK SOME BUTT!!!

The Bad: The Courses that are available are WONDERFUL!! However, it would be nice to have a few more.......... And did I mention an adventure mode??

The Ugly: Toad!!!! I HATE Toad!!!!! He's ssssssoooooooo aaaaaannnnnnooooooyyyyyyiiiiinnnnnngggggg!!!!! (Wa! Wa! Wa!, etc.) He's also a cheater..... What a jerk.

Favorite part: I like playing around on my Castle Grounds!! Yeah baby, My race ROCKS!!! The jump is soooo awesome!!

Least Favorite Part: Toad's turnpike. Why? Well....... Because it's TOAD'S HOME RACE. (Did I mention how much he gets on my nerves?)

Peach (another one)
The Good: Overall, this is a very fun game. The variety of the tracks makes it all worthwhile!!

The Bad: Most of the music is good, but some isn't. Likewise, I like Luigi, Toad, and Wario's voices, but Mario's I could do without. The princess' voice is downright annoying!

The Ugly: None.

Favorite part: Rainbow Road is long, but a very well-done track. I also like Koopa Troopa Beach and Yoshi Valley.

Least Favorite Part: If you get 5th or lower, you have to do the track again. Practicing in Time Trials mode is a must!

JarJarAerith
The Good: Hmm, I don't know. It's probably playing Luigi for the first time in 3D.

The Bad: Peach, Mario and Toad's voices. They SUCK horribly. And Bowser sucks too.

The Ugly: Peach and the tracks. Mainly Peach though.

Favorite part: Knowing that Luigi can beat out Mario in a kart race. Now let's see them race Pods!!!!!

Least Favorite Part: Peach, Toad and Mario winning over Luigi and DK. It's a sad feeling.

Mad Dawg
The Good: Cool Graphics. Cool Race Tracks. Wario, Wario, Wario and did I say Wario?

The Bad: Any Racer that cheats.

The Ugly: Ugly, Ugly? Nothing.

Favorite part: The Kalimari Desert. I like pushing the racers on the train track and watch them get hit by the train. Heh heh, Suckers.

Least Favorite Part: Losing.

Dr. Omicron
The Good: Blissfulness of having a star right after a lightning bolt and then a spiny shell, all in first place.

The Bad: Rainbow Road is too darn lengthy. Well, for a Mario Kart race anyway. Some Snowboard Kids races are over 15 minutes long.

The Ugly: Two words: Banshee Boardwalk.

Favorite part: Having someone decent to play with.

Least Favorite Part: Having someone who has little or no experience of this game, of which has happened to me except once.

Curtis Bonds
The Good: Luigi actually having the guts to say "I'm Luigi, #1!" cause he is #1!!!

The Bad: Peach's voice!!! it is soooo f**king annoying!!!!

The Ugly: Peach's face.

Favorite part: Telling people, that never played this game before, to go the way where you see the castle in "Royal Raceway". (HAHAHA! SUCKERS!)

Least Favorite Part: "Toad's Turnpike" in "Extra cc"! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!!!

The West Virginian
The Good: Bigger courses, cooler power-ups, smooth control, and the CPU drivers have AI this time around!

The Bad: Not much improvement over the original. The AI sometimes puts one driver way ahead of me for the entire race, no matter how many boosts I use.

The Ugly: Wario. You don't get much uglier than that!

Favorite part: Jumping at the top of the big-@$$ slope at the beginning of Rainbow Road. Wheeeeeeeeee!

Least Favorite Part: Old-school gamers who say Super Mario Kart is a better game.
