Pick a kart,pick a driver,and you are done.But wait,I forgot.Choose another one,go on.Yes you can have Mario and Bowser in the same kart,and away we go.But the addition of another character in the kart with you isn't another gimmick so that the developers can use the slogan "double the fun",any gamer that lives somewhere near civilization knows that each character has a special wepon unique to their partner.For instance,the koopa bro's have triple red shells,whereas the mario bro's have multiple fire balls,something that Mario hasn't been using of late,due to his FLUDD and all.
Now if you are looking for the funnist,brightest,vibrant courses of any racer on the market,look no further then Double Dash.If you want plenty of them,then look elsewhere.Because although the races are always a thrill,there aren't alot to choose from,and you wont come back forever.But will you need to when the multiplayer is this good?
Even on 2 player,shells will fly,bounce off walls,and hit you justwhen you dont want them to.all the time.But this doesn't take any of the fun away.But on Grand Prix mode that is another matter.The AI always seems to catch you up,even if you thrown every bannana you got at them.This is strange,as it is still quite easy to win.And also,the computer always seems to hit you all at once.I was playing one day,and a barage of two red shells,a blue shell,and a chain chomp all stopped me at the finish line."dose doity wats" I muttered in a thick New York accent before slamming the disk back in the draw for a whole week.I finally returned to it,"I cant stay mad at you"I said as I booted it up again,only to be halted at the finish line by a shoulder barging Bowser.I then locked it away,only to whip it out once in a while when my friends come round.The disk I mean.
As-well as starting World Wars,the game also decides if you can take losing as well as fun.I cant,so there.Being a Nintendo game,there is a load of famous icons packed into the game in the form of unlockables,such as King Boo and Petey Pirhanah.Ooops,I shouldn't have said that.But anyway,if you are getting this just for the secrets,then you shouldn't,because the golden gameplay and multiplayer life span should be all you need.So go out and get this game now.I dont care if the shops are closed.Break in and steal it,it's worth it.WARNING,WE DO NOT CONDONE STEALING HERE ON THE G-CUBERS FIRM!!
Most of the weapons and tracks are borrowed from past Mario Kart games
Too easy and short on single player mode
Multiplayer thrills to die for
Near perfect gaming engine,eg framerate,handling of karts
