My first Mario Kart game. I played a lot of this with my group of friends in school. Always made sure to use a heavyweight in balloon battle so I could just plow through someone and knock their balloon off. Not the best in the series, but absolutely a core memory for me.
Obviously this one is a classic. Good cast of characters, great maps, and good music. It hasn't exactly aged well at all unfortunately. And frankly Diddy Kong Racing just did it better on the N64.
It was a 5 star game in its time but a 3 star game now since it has aged terribly. So I’ll give it 4, but it’s probably the last home console MK game I would choose to play.
I grew up playing Mario Kart 64, so I have a lot of fond memories of this game. Even though the controls still frustrate me to this day, this game had a lot of iconic tracks that really left a huge impact on Mario Kart as a franchise. Definitely in my top 3 Mario Kart games that I've played.
Going from Super Mario Kart to this was a huge leap. This was grinded for many years before my gaming hiatus. We need a time trial on one of the many maps with shortcuts.
Lots of time spent with my buddies after school on this game. Playing this one in tandem with the SNES version, the experience was mind blowing on the N64.
I'm sure it's actually 5 stars, but I wasn't great at teaching back then so I just enjoyed it some. This was where games became a family affair when I was a kid
I only rented the original Mario Kart and this was the first one I owned. It’s the first game I remember playing 4 player with my 2 brothers and whichever friend was over at the time. We had a blast! Every Mario Kart is a great time - we’d play late into the night on Royal Raceway, Wario Stadium, Rainbow Road and the rest of our faves, then mix it up with some battle mode. Wario was my main, I loved that he could bounce everyone around (probably because I was a scrawny 13 year old at the time 😀). This game got a second life for me in college. Even though double dash was already out, my roommates and I all chose this and played endlessly. Not to mention we made drinking games out of it (everyone drinks on a lightning was one rule). I don’t think it holds up as well today so I almost brought it down to 4 stars but couldn’t do it; it’s too near and dear to my heart.
I was in the hospital as a kid with a ruptured bladder. The hospital had N64s in the extended stay rooms and this was the first game I ever played on the N64. This game made me forget that I was stuck in a hospital bed.
Incredible game! Countless hours playing this when I was younger and enjoyed every second of it. I had to take one star off because of the replayability. This game did not hold up as well as I wish it did.
This was my reintroduction to Mario Kart as I didn't enjoy the SNES version. I enjoyed playing GoldenEye or WCW/nWo with friends but I LOVED Mario Kart. It was always the pick for me when it came to finding something to play. It's racing, it's Mario & friends, & you get to use items as weapons .. what more could you want? Another game I picked back up & played when I bought an N64 a few years ago (& mainly used as a drinking game)
I’d give it a 1 star for all the times I’ve been knocked off rainbow road in 1st by a rogue random shell only to finish in last place but we’re not rating my skill here…
This was my first Kart game. I played it non-stop and thought I was pretty good at it. As an adult, I've learned I am in fact not very good at this game. I don't think it holds up to the updated versions, but it was great for its time.
