Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review: Mario Kart 64, one of the first games released for the Nintendo 64 platform, is an updated translation of the very popular Super Mario Kart for the Super NES (SNES). While the game clearly takes full advantage of the graphic power and speed of the N64, a few components that made the original so compelling have been left out of this release. Still, Nintendo's expertise at sucking players into the game world is strongly evident, and Mario Kart 64 offers enough challenges to keep players (especially casual gamers) entertained.
Placing a familiar Nintendo personality behind the wheel of a sputtering kart powered by a 50, 100, or 150 cc engine, the game lets players race up to four of Nintendo's lovable characters on a variety of well-designed tracks. Because karts lack the power and speed of race cars, drivers must focus on collecting power-ups and non-lethal weapons rather than negotiating hairpin turns on two wheels. Grabbing and using on-track items is the heart of the game's fun: a strategically placed banana peel sends the unlucky victim into a spin, nailing an opponent with a turtle shell launches their vehicle skyward and a rocket provides a quick boost to near-breakneck speeds, if only for a moment. The multiplayer mode provides enormously chaotic fun for up to four players--flip it on at a party and watch the guests congregate around the screen. --Eric Twelker

when this game came out as a sequel to the snes version, it was extremely popular, however it has dated poorly likewise did the other N64 racing title diddy kong racing, this game is definitely better than diddy kong racing, however it is no way near as good as later mario kart titles or as its psone rival kart racing game "crash team racing" which i would reccomend you get instead of this if you have a playstation 1,2 or 3. if you dont then definately get this game!!!

It's no surprise that I actually wanted to finish CTR-Crash Team Racing with its rival partner game, Mario Kart 64. Unlike Crash Team Racing, which took me a total of 6 months to finish, Mario Kart 64 just took me 1 month!
HMV were doing a Nintendo 64 clearout sale in 2001 and there were only two copies left of Mario Kart 64, so, since me and my brother were desperate we decided to purchase the last two copies of the game, and with all do respects, I've never had such entertainment!
Although Mario Kart 64 is not a very long game, it is probably the most remembered Mario Kart racing game of all, as it is the first Mario game that introduced 4 Player racing and battle modes which is very entertaining, especially when ... Read More:

Mario Kart 64 is still a classic and is a game I have donwloaded for the Nintendo Wii VC! It is still fun on your own or with mates and it is still looking good graphics wise! This is, among the Mario Kart games, one of the best, just behind Mario Kart DS! This still offers great karting action and great tracks to race on. Multi-player games on here is a right laugh and great fun! Get this while you can! A CLASSIC!

This game is absolutely amazing. I first got it when the N64 came out and just played it with my brother. We got to the point where all the tracks were easy to win so we just played in battle (my speciality). Battle is by far the best feature on the game and if your with friends this can last for hours.
After a long period i never played on it, then some friends came over and we played it, instant addiction. Every lunchtime at school my friends came over and we played it really competitvely. What really brought the game alive was POWERSLIDING. Alot of people dont know about this and it is much harder to do than on the gamecube on double dash. This makes the difference on all the tracks and once you get to a cometent stage its really ... Read More:
