Overall - 9.7

Mario Kart 64 is one of the best classic games on the Nintendo 64.  It is a whole lot of fun and I really enjoy playing this game.  I remember playing this as a child and now when I play it, it just brings that memory back and I remember all the fun times playing it with my friends.  It is a very good quality game and very fun to play with other people.

Graphics - 10

The graphics are so good.  It looks so fun and is still fun on this very day.  The effects are so classy.  When you use items and hit other racers, it is just so memorable.

Sound - 10

The music is very good.  I really enjoyed the music in every level.  The sound effects with the character's talking and the items going everywhere.  I really liked it.

Addictiveness - 9

I would play this game all the time.  Some of the time I would put hacks in where you could drive very fast and sometimes get out of the level and glitch up.  This is game is not only fun to play, but is fun to play with hacks too.  The game never gets old.  I do not think that any Mario Kart games would ever get old.

Story - N/A

There is no story in this game.  All you do is play up to 16 levels and you can either play single player or cooperatively with 2 people.  Another thing in this game is that you can play up to 4 players and either do a battle mode or some other fun things to play.

Depth - 8

The game has some awesome features.  One would be the things I said before in the "Story" section and the other would be playing Time Trail Mode and trying to set a record on how fast you can beat the level.  It gets very addicting and what is great is that they would put a "ghost" while you are trying to beat your record.  Another thing about this game is that you can play at any difficulty from 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, and Mirror Mode.  I would play Mirror Mode all the time.

Difficulty - 4

The game is not that hard.  What I do not understand is when you are in first place and you think that you are very far away from your opponents, you are wrong, they would be always right behind you for some reason.  Some of the time, one of the computers would be so far ahead in the level that there would be no way of catching up.  Sometimes it would be you who would be far ahead than the computers.  It depends on how good you are in the game.  I guarantee that I get this, but not a lot.

Wrap Things Up...

Mario Kart 64 is what everyone should be enjoying on the Nintendo 64.  I highly recommend trying this game out if you have not already. It is a big amount of fun and can sometimes be addicting.

This is another favorite game of mine for the N64 console. I would definitely recommend this game to anyone who has not played it.

I remember writing a review a while back about Mario Kart 64. You're way more positive on it then I was. This is a really nice review, even makes me who was kind of down on the game want to play it.

I actually STILL play this game when I go down to my friends from time to time. Mario Kart is one of my favorite old games, and definitely my favorite racer.
