Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Quite possibly the game I'd buy a Cube for. Online play would have sealed the deal, but it's still looking remarkably fun.

Because if I jump across half of Rainbow Road, I don't want the entire pack of racers to move 200% faster to catch me, thanks :)

The AI cheated in SNES MK too ;)

I hate racing games with a passion, but Nintendo seems to have remedied that. F-Zero GX, Kirby Air Ride, and now MK: Double Dash.

Maybe I don't hate them as much as I thought I did.

I kind of like the character specific kart designs. But I'm fruity like that.

The A.I. is VERY different than in past MK games... prepare for the computer players to use mad amounts of items in cruel ways. Lightining bolts, blue shells, etc. get used all the time on 150cc... it's intense, fun, and crazy.

Don't be fooled... since I enjoyed Mario Kart 64, F-Zero X, and Diddy Kong Racing so much I decided to buy GT for the PS... and it sucked so hard. I've come to the conclusion that I only like wacky racing games, preferably where you can attack the other vehicles.

Yeah, but I could at least regularly lap people in that game. The only one who really cheated was your predetermined rival, plus all the unlimited special character items the comp could use...

STARMAN MARIO & LUIGI SANDWICH AAAIIIIEEEEE!!

You aren't alone. Overall I dislike the racing genre, but several Nintendo racers are among my favorite games ever. Crazy Taxi may be the only non-Nintendo racing game amongst my favorite, but people keep telling me its not a racing game.

it's a driving game. i'll let taxi game slide though.

Yes, but rivalry is fun. There is no skill or fun involved in pulling off the rainbow road shortcut and then having a long quiet ride. Who want's to play Safe Driver 64? Hell in F-Zero, if you get ahead of the pack the fuckers boost until they catch up. Play balance is teh fun.

US is better.

I think the US box art is better, too, but I like the fireball in Mario's hand. He's about to smoke some ass!
