Players take control of characters from the Mario universe, who race around a variety of tracks with items that can either harm opponents or aid the user. In January 2007, Mario Kart 64 was released as a downloadable Virtual Console title on the Wii.Ĭhanges from the original include the move to polygon-based true 3D computer graphics for track design, and the inclusion of four-player support. It was released first in Japan on Decemand in North America and Europe in 1997. It is the successor to Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and is the second Mario Kart game. Except the odd connectivity issue (which is reasonable bearing in mind this is the first public release) Kart n' Crazy is an excellent racing game for all ages.Mario Kart 64 is a 1996 go-kart racing game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 video game console. Now, is there any drawback to this game? Not really. After each race, depending on your position on the final ranking, you're awarded experience points which you can later on use to customize your kart and buy new apparel for your driver. I had loads of fun racing and trying to throw other players off the track at the same time. Personally, I found the Arcade mode to be much more exciting. These weapons are also similar to the ones you find in Mario Kart: the lightning bolt, the turtle, the star that makes you go faster (no bananas though). The first one challenges players to be the fastest on track, while in the second one the aim is to make other players fail on their way to the finishing line by using different weapons you can pick up and use along the race.

There are two game modes: Speed and Arcade. The game is very funny, features different playing modes to appeal different kinds of gamers and includes also an addictive social component which lets you meet other players and chat with them while speeding along the circuit's bends. Kart n' Crazy definitely met our expectations – and believe me, as a faithful Mario Kart fan, they were high.
