Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

The "Mario Kart" game for the Nintendo '64 system was easily one of the greatest multiplayer video games ever created for any system. As such, "Double Dash" for the Gamecube had a lot to live up to. Luckily, the game rises to the challenge and perhaps even surpasses the original.

Though the controls and even some of the courses are basically the same as the N64 version, the addition of multiple characters per "kart" is a welcome addition to the franchise. It didn't need much tweaking, but the game changed just enough to keep it from getting stale.

Overall, this is perhaps my favorite multiplayer game for the Nintendo Gamecube, with the possible exception of Super Smash Bros. If you start playing this game with a group of friends, you'll be hard-pressed to stop anytime soon!

So maybe I'm the wrong person to be doing a review. But they are all basically the same and while Double Dash looks pretty it does little to further the genre.

The graphics are, quite simply, gorgeous. Mario Kart Double Dash shows what the Gamecube is capable of with brilliant colors, wonderful landscapes and vivid race courses. The sound isn't up to much though. Sound effects are kind of generic and the music is hardly a standout.

Pretty much, if racing games are for you then Mario Kart Double Dash is essential if you have a Gamecube. I couldn't care less about this genre so I can gladly never play again, no matter how stunning it looks.

This was my first Mario Kart game that I played. I love that there are two characters to one car.

The first GameCube game I have ever played and the first Mario Kart game I have ever played and in my opinion, the most underrated Mario Kart game and my personal favourite Mario Kart game (though Mario Kart DS is better in a broader perspective). I love the two person kart mechanic where you can mix and match two characters and karts together plus the added teamwork with another player, the gameplay is ridiculously hectic and fun, the track selection is one of the best in the series and graphics still holds up to this day. Today, I am still regretting the day I traded in this wonderful gem of a game. If you have a GameCube's, do not pass this up. It is one of GameCube's finest games it has to offer.

This game was really fun when I played it, and I like how you can have partner races and switch with the partner. I'm glad Nintendo is making these sequels! I want them to do Mario Tennis next, another thing is that it is a whole lot better than the one on the N64 and GBA, If you go to a movie rental place, rent it or buy it!
