Mario Kart 64 is one of the best racing games of all time.

Graphics - 10
The graphics are absolutely stellar for a n64 game. And the biggest progression from Super Nintendo Super Mario Kart to Mario Kart 64, was the new 3d playing field. I have not seen a N64 game with graphics this good.

Sound -  9
The music is just so good, mostly rainbow road, which was later remixed and put in Double Dash. One downside is, I feel the sound of the engines are too loud, but not to any bad extent.

Depth - 8      Addictiveness - 9
This game is good on single player, but takes a whole new level when playing with a friend or two. There are plenty of tracks, 16 courses in all, getting progressively harder, but has four less courses than the original. But still good enough to keep you happy. It's also fun to play over and over. Battle mode and Time Trials keep the fun going, it you want to do something besides racing.

Difficulty - 7
 I'm not sure how hard this game was when it originally came out, but in this day and age, it seems very challenging. Without the coins that were on the original game are gone, which definitely makes the game easier.

Overall - 9.9
The original took more standard kart racing to a high never before reached, but this game is was put it over the top, in a good way, and it makes it more fun. Mario Kart 64 is a must play for all Nintendo fans, and also just any person ever to play a video game! I give it a rating of 9.9/10.

I agree with you. Mario Kart has been one of the funnest games being alone or with friends. I play it all the time. When Mario Kart Double Dash came out, I was so crazy about it. Then came the Mario Kart Wii. That nearly killed me. I loved how you can control the driving with a wheel.

Yeah, Mario Kart 64 is very VERY fun to play, I played this when I was young, and I loved it. Very fun and SUPER addicting.
