Lately I have been reviewing games that have had the audacity to shake up the system. Games that pushed away the standard formula for their respective genres. And that brings me to Mario kart. All of the racing games in its day involved some guy who liked going fast and he raced all over the world with his many racing buddies. All of the tracks were bland and got old after a while. Mario kart dared to shake up the system. It brought all of the characters we know and love and put them in a racing game. It also had tons of race tracks inspired by Mario games. It has also inspired over 5 sequels that you should also check out. With that out of the way, I shall give my verdict.
Graphics: What can I say, this game looks better than a number of N64 games. A lot of the N64 games had sub-par character looks and strange looking overworlds. Mario kart's characters are rounded out if you know what I mean. The maps use little cardboard if any cardboard in their construction, and look fantastic. The animations for the power-ups look fantastic and are better than the animations of other N64 games
Sound: I am crazy about the music for this game. It is the best of any racing game in its time, and is great to race to. Each theme fits perfectly with the stage it is representing and is just plain awesome. Most other racing games went with a simple guitar melody for their games and I applaud Nintendo pushing the bottom line in many categories.
Story: well...there isn't really one. You try to get first place in every thing you do, so in one way, this game is kind of like a real life simulator. lol. But there isn't really any story thrown your way.
Addictiveness: I have every single Mario kart, the reason for that being this game. I have beaten every single stage a multitude of times and I know every in and every out of every single stage. The computers in this game are just challenging enough that you will have to stay on your toes, which will make it difficult to get bored. This game is extremely fun to play and I guarantee you will have a great time with it.
Depth-There are 16 stages(20 if you count the ones used for battle) each with a varying level of difficulty.There are 8 characters each with different stats. It would be very hard to literally do everything in this game.
Difficulty: This game really is not that hard. Only a few stages throw a lot of difficulty your way, and it wont be too hard to get over these obstacles.
Verdict: This game, its prequel, and its sequels are revolutionary. They did what no racing game could do. Using Mario characters, great graphics, great music, and a great amount of things to do, this game will change the way you look at racing games. I hope you take my word for it and give this game a try.
