Game Info
-Another great multiplayer from Nintendo.  Super Mario Kart was a bit more difficult than Mario Kart 64, I've been hearing.  Well most reviews of this game are really good or really bad.

Gameplay:  A-
-It has a so-so 1-player.  There are many items you can use against opponents while you are driving.  The tracks have wide turns, which is a reason why this game is easier.  The courses are well laid out and vary in sizes and obstacles.  You must "slide" on curves to hold your speed and go for a mini boost.  The multiplayer battle mode is awesome though.  You have 3 balloons and try to knock the opponents balloons. 

Graphics: C+
-Definelty not the best.  Nintendo could hav made it a whole lot better.  The tracks are so-so.  It looks more of a cheap cartoon than 3-D.

Sound: B+
-It's ok.  The track sounds are good.  The players voices are great.  Toad's cry and Mario's "way-to-go!"

Challenge: C
-Like I mentioned, the SNES version is harder.  Mario Kart doesnt take a lot of effort to get 1st place in Championship.

Replay: B
-The multiplayer is the only thing you'll come back for in this game.  The 1-player isn't what you'll come back for.

Grade: 94%
"A must-have for the N64."
