Part of this game is heavily based on Super Mario World in terms of graphics and overall theme.

Easily the worst Mario Kart I've played but I'd still play it today. The foundation holds up, the series has just gotten better because that's what technology does.

It's really weird, playing a racing game all about moving and interacting in 3D space made before 3D graphics were really a thing. But it's really interesting to look at the ways they were pushing the boundaries, and the gameplay, while finicky, is still fun. For a solid experience, skip forward at least a generation, but for an interesting one, especially if you're familiar with later mascot racers, check it out.

Good game. I remember when Sega making fun of this for the lack of blast processing.

Later versions were better, were better balanced and had more variety and intensity. Still a good game though.

It's a testament to how good this game was at the time that it still holds up today. This is easily among the best of the Mario Kart games.

The best one - actually challenging with cool items that have never returned. Just needs a 4 player mode.

This title still holds up so well. I know people expect certain add-ons that came in later titles, but really, the control in this one was sharp, the cast was 8 characters but fairly balanced, the maps were neat. This was a classic.

For many, this was the introduction to racing games whatsoever. It may have also been their first introduction to how the world isn't fair. Strong lessons from Nintendo. Strong lessons. I fucking love this game for what it was to me then and what it has spawned today. It's indicative of how good gamers have it with Nintendo in our lives.
