Background

Mario Kart returns with a sequel to the original Super Mario Kart, placing Mario Kart 64 up next (for the Nintendo 64). The play will play as one of eight well known characters from the Mario franchise in various racetracks that are named after individual characters. Use weapons based off items in the franchise to knock yourself into the lead. You will be able to utilize the analog stick as your steering wheel, the "A" button as your gas pedal, and the "B" button as brakes, as well as other buttons used to control the various aspects of the race.

Features

• 32 different courses based off various things you can see from the Mario franchise.
• A grand array of weapons from the franchise at your disposal, including the Koopa Green Shell.
• Time Trials, to improve on racing efficiency.
• Multiplayer Versus with four players.
• Battle with four other players in Balloon Battle. Knock off as many of your enemy's balloons as possible!

Trivia

• Before Wario was introduced to Mario Kart, Kamek the Magikoopa was going to race in his place.

Playable Characters

All the playable characters are basically the main mario characters. Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Donkey kong, Yoshi, Toad, and Wario.

They all have the same stats so it doesn't really matter who you are; it is just the skill you contain, and whichever character is your favorite.
