It is time to speed up! Mario Kart 64 released on 1996 is a BIG hit! This game for the Nintendo 64 is a blast! You could go into lots of different courses, choose different characters, and.. RAINBOW ROAD! Be sure to read my ratings and stuff on the rest for this review!
Great music, Great everything! Read everything I got and you can finally be dismissed from this thread after being like stuck on this loving it! Be sure to rate this awesome piece of stuff as well! One of the most popular racing games in the world! This is in the top 10 for the best Nintendo 64 games! Yay!

Yes, I have also completed the whole game.
Now to begin with the Overall rating and all of the other stuff you might have been waiting for!
Overall: 9.2
This game was amazing! This features 16 tracks and even Rainbow Road! Excellent Music and more! Keep Reading below for more stuff!
Graphics: 10
I wish there was a 11 choice or something. The graphics were just amazing. I can not explain it. WAY much better than the SNES Super Mario Kart. Instead of flat stuff, they made it like 3D platforming or something like that! So many pixels in this game and filled with fun unlike the SNES Super Mario Kart! You better play this game sometime!
This graphics was actually somehow way better than the GBA one somehow and much better and every one could tell easily! Compare them! But not better than the Mario Kart: Double Dash because that was released in 2003 and the N64 Mario Kart was released in like.. 1996 which was not fair. Very good as for the date and the time it was released.
Sound: 10
The sound was just amazing. Just like the graphics part. lol
This game has one of the best retro video game musics in the world, and this is probably my number 1. The Rainbow Road music? Just incredible. I highly recommend you look up that music and listen to it... NOW!
Yes, the N64 Rainbow Road is one of my favorite things to hear, and one of the worst things to play. lol
The other courses also has some great music, some cheerful, some ghostly, some something.
I also like the Koopa Beach music from this game. Quite impressive and good.
Addictiveness: 8 / 10
I rated this a quite good 8 but it could be a lot longer game and better. This game is quite short, and when you finish the game, sometimes you do not feel like playing this game anymore, or you just really want to move on to a different game, like Pokemon or something. Like me, I quit this game just a few weeks ago, before the Tour De Vizzed even started. Because I have already completed the game, and I have nothing else to do except improving my times in Time trials.
Story: Not really anything.
This game did not really have a story. Unless you are watching Mario Kart: The movie and it tells you some parts about it and how it started. I recommend you go watch it / and / or the trailer.
Depth: 7 / 10
This game has 16 tracks including the Mushroom cup, the Flower Cup, the Star Cup, and the special cup.
You can play the tracks on 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, and Mirror Mode
50cc: The tracks are shorter and the CPU's are very easy to beat. This mode is highly recommended for beginners.
100cc: The tracks are at medium and the CPU's are at medium mode. This mode has shorter tracks than 150cc. It is recommended for not so bad gamers at this game.
150cc: This is regular. This mode is used for Time Trials as well. The CPU's are hard. This mode is recommended for experts.
Mirror mode: A unlockable. The courses are switched around and is the same size as 150cc! This is recommended for Hard gamers and experts! Good luck not crashing into the middle of the walls! xD
Now to get on topic.. This has 4 different modes for Grand Prix, Time Trials with 16 different courses, and more! This game also includes Multiplayer, and can use Netplay on it! Well, That is pretty much it for that..
Oh wait! I forgot to list the courses!
- Luigi Raceway
- Moo Moo Farm
- Rainbow Road
- Choco Island or whatever it is called
Difficulty: 7 / 10
This game was not that hard at all. I guess it was a little hard for me in the beginning, but I bet everybody reading this knows that it will be easy when you get used to it which will be like very quickly. 50cc = Short courses and the CPU's are actually very easy to beat.
100cc = Usually for normal players and it is quite at a normal difficulty but shorter courses than 150cc.
150cc = Long courses with hard CPU's. Meant for experts and pros at the game.
Mirror = This is 150cc, but Left is Right and Right is left! Better Watch out! xD
But If you beat all the cups on all of them, I would not be surprised and you are a master at Mario Kart 64! Congrats!
Not really that difficult. I just wish it WAS a little harder and the CPU's use the items in the right place next time.
Something like 200cc might sound good. Does it?
Now.. Thank you EVERYONE for reading my awesome review! Be sure to rate it and look forward to reading more of my reviews!
