All 8 drivers are at the starting line now and the race is about to begin, now the lakitu has raised his light as he counts down with his other hand the question is though are you ready....well 3....2....1.....START THE REVIEW!


Graphics: 10 out of 10

If you have played the SNES version then you will immediately tell that the graphics in this game are FAR superior to its SNES counterpart, The drivers are alot more detailed and have their own voices and weight/driving differences which adds a nice sense of balance to the game when you choose which character to play as. Not only have the players but the courses are also superior as they are beautifully arranged, have interesting bits included inside each course, such as the characters faces in this game being in the sky on the course
Rainbow Road or how you have the boo's that disappear and reappear in the Banshee Boardwalk level. A perfect improvement on the graphics for this game so a 10 out of 10 is what this deserves in my opinion, Nice job Nintendo.


Sound: 10 out of 10

Already the first Mario Kart game had nostalgic and great music and once again Nintendo pulled through and made the music in this game breath-taking and very very nostalgic with its introduction theme, Bowser's Castle theme, Koopa Troopa's Beach theme, and of course the Award Ceremony theme. Each one of these songs presents a different feeling to the player as the introduction music give you that feeling of nostalgia and hypes you up to play the game, Bowser's Castle theme give you a feeling of uncertainty as you feel you have to keep your eyes and reflexes focus so you can avoid pits or enemies, Koopa Troopa's Beach theme gives you a feeling of relaxation where you can just sit back without any worries while you play this stage, and finally the Award Ceremony's theme gives you a feeling of accomplishment as you watch your character drive up to the castle to collect his trophy whether it be Gold, Silver, or Bronze. Not only is the music great but the sound effects are great as well as whenever you hit another person vehicle with a shell or other object you end up getting this "BANG!" sound or when a person slips on a banana peel that somebody left behind you hear the character say (if it was Mario/Luigi/Wario) Mama-Mia as they spin around trying to regain control of their kart. Another excellent job here so a 10 out of 10 is the rating I'm also giving the sound for this game.


Addictiveness: 10 out of 10

Whether you are alone or playing with family/friends you will have a great time playing this game as it is very addictive since there are 12 levels to choose from each with great map design and music, you can play the levels in a mirrored mode where you play the course backwards (you must unlock this first though), and there is also a battle mode where you and up to 3 other players can use items to attack each other until the other 3 people have lost all 3 of their balloons. Also trying to get all of the Golden trophy's may be a challenge and that is something you can do if you feel like having a goal while you play this game. If you have people over and you want a game that will
keep you entertained then this game will not let you down so just like the other two sections I'm giving addictiveness a rating of 10 out of 10


Story: BLANK

Just like my Mario Paint review there is no story to this game as far as I know, there might be a story but I'm not 100% sure so I'm going to rate this as blank.


Depth: 7 out of 10

Since this game is a racing from 1997 there wasn't alot that you could unlock other than the mirrored mode which I mentioned in the addictiveness section. However this game does offer alot of levels to play through so you will probably play this game for a few hours before you can go and play every course which does at to the addictiveness value and the depth value as well. In the VS mode you could play against each other either by racing and see who can make it to the finish line first or you can play the battle mode in which you have to try and defeat the other person/people first. They could have most likely added more to the to the game to make it longer so I'm going to have to give the depth of this game only a 7 out of 10.


Difficulty: 7 out of 10

If you pick up this game and think "Meh it's probably going to be a stroll in the park, I won't have any trouble beating this game quick." you are dead wrong my friend, as you can easily fall into a pit or other hazards along the course if you aren't paying attention to your surroundings and your foes. There are items that you can use as offense which can help you but be careful as if you're in first place you'd best be prepared to be on the defense otherwise you will end up getting sent flying back by a Red Shell, a person using a star, or a spiky blue shell. The courses depending on what kind of terrain it's based on will have its own unique traps such as some of the bridges in Banshee Boardwalk missing their railings, or the train in Kalimari Desert where a train can periodically come by and prevent you from moving forward. The controls work perfectly fine so they can't be put at fault here and the designs of the tracks don't have any faults either so this has a fair level of difficulty so a 7 out of 10 is what I'm giving the difficulty of this game.

Well we're almost at the end of the track so we'd best finish up this review. In short Mario Kart 64 is probably the best racing game for the N64 and if you have a chance to pick it up I promise, you won't be disappointed. Oh shoot I have to get going to the award ceremony otherwise I won't be able to get my prize trophy so see you on the next racetrack my friends *drives away*.......*crashes* Mama-Mia!

Great review! Had nice amounts of detail, and each separate section is perfectly spaced apart. This is why staff reviews are the best.
I don't get it, though. Why do people think that Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario Kart are so great? Super Mario Kart was pretty lame, as it's an unrealistic game on a SNES, but MK64? That game's graphics are inferior for the N64. First of all, the racers are very pixelated. Second, the items from the item boxes look like static pictures in an inferior Flash Game. I never really enjoyed playing it, either.

TheFadedWarrior : Thanks, I always in my reviews try and add as much detail as I can. I am not a fan of the SNES game as the controls just feel awkward for a racing game to me, I like the N64 version as the maps were fun and the controls we vastly improved. Yes I will admit the graphics aren't amazing like other games on the system but to be honest in my own opinion I don't really care about the graphics of a game I care about the gameplay.

bill14 : I think the SNES version was ok but I'm not a fan of it because like I said to TheFadedWarrior the controls felt awkward to me and I much prefer the N64 version. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you liked the review

sonicthehedgehog57 :
great review sonic, as usual.
Personally I liked your opening sentence quite a clever way to bring the game into the review!
I agree with most of what you said but... my opinion doesn't matter here so I won't rant

iN008 : Thanks again, I always think it's good to find a clever intro to your review before you actually start it as it can make people intrigued to read the review, I actually like other peoples take on this but I'm sure if we we're to do that I'd be best to go into a message anyway thanks for the comment and glad you enjoyed the review.

bill14 : Well I think on off the reasons why I may have had a hard time is because I was playing it on the Wii in which I had to use a gamecube controller, and maybe if you actually used the SNES game and controller it might be easier? The N64 I will agree some racing games can be hard to control at times and they do take time to get used to.

I thoroughly enjoyed this review, full of good facts and details and nice space work. This will really help a newcomer to the game understand what it is all about. Like you I like to pack as much detail and information in to a review as possible, so I can understand why this is such a good read. Nice work I hope to read more of your work in the future.

EvilAlu : Thanks I try my best when I write my reviews and I also try and make it so newcomers will hopefully understand how they should write a review like you said. Well I know I'm going to be writing 2 reviews every month so yes you probably will see more of my work in the future, anyway I'm glad you enjoyed the review and thanks for the reply.
