Mario Kart Super Circuit

When a certain plumber hit the SNES in something that wasn't a platform adventure he created quite a commotion and laid the groundwork for all future games of that genre to come. For the fans, there was nothing quite like Super Mario Kart. Strap Nintendo stars into karts, hand them enough weapons to fight off several armies and let them loose on the various tracks the game had to offer. It sounds so simple but it was that mad gameplay that won the hearts of many Nintendo gamers. After a somewhat mediocre outing on the N64 it seems the Mushroom Kingdom crew are back for another stab at the genre they practically defined. Even more interesting is that this is Mario Kart's first entry to be played 'on the go'.

From first looks the game does indeed look impressive. While obviously not capable of the 3D polygons its big brother N64 version could manage, the game nevertheless looks pretty sweet, making use of some impressive graphical tricks to make the most of the hardware of...

Mario and his friends are having a great time shooting each other with shells, bumping the other near the edge of cliffs, and oh, racing. This game is all about racing. Unlike other games wherein you can only see cars and buildings, this game has cute Karts and lovable, huggable characters. Unfortunately, you can't customize the looks of Mario and the others because if you do, that's called blasphemy. There are five cups on the game and on each cup, there are 4 tracks. You are free to choose whether you want a grand prix (you'll race all the tracks of a certain cup), quick run (you're free to choose a single track you want to race on) and time trial (also a single track, but here you're alone). If you completed a track on time trial, the next time you race there again you'll race with a ghost and that ghost is yourself! I think it's cool because if you want to see how you've improved, save a lot of ghosts and race against them. There are eight characters in the game and each time...

THE GOOD:
- Characters
- Difficulties
- Courses
- Coins

THE BAD:
- Not Much

SUMMARY:
This is the first Gameboy Advance Game I ever bought. It was a great investment and I am very glad that I bought it.

The game has 8 of the better know characters in mario such as: Peach, Wario, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Toad, Yoshi, and Donkey Kong. Every character has it's advantages and disadvantages. For example Bowser is a 1 for acceleration but a 5 for weight. He won't accelerate very quickly but you won't be able to hit him off the course easily either. Toad is a 5 for Acceleration and a 1 for weight so he is easily pushed around if you can catch him.

As will most Mario Kart games there are 3 difficulty of races. The 50cc is the easiest. Your car and the opponents go slower in this difficulty for easier maneuvering and more reaction time. 100cc is the next step up and you and the opponent move a little faster....

THE GOOD:
Everything other than the Coin System!

THE BAD:
The Coin System...

SUMMARY:
The game has very good Graphics and Sound quality, and the gameplay is almost second to none!

The game features eight famous Characters from the Mario Brothers Series (Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Wario, Donkey Kong and Bowser/King Koopa), each with their own strengths and weaknesses in the statistics of their vehicles.

For example, Mario is an all-round Character, whereas Princess Peach accelerates quickly, turns well and can move over rough terrain quickly, but has a low stop speed and is easily knocked around by the heavier Characters. By contrast, Bowser enjoys the advantages of being faster and heavier than anyone else in the game, but his acceleration, turning speed and performance over rough terrain leave something to be desired.

The only problem with this system is the lack of balance. Virtually all of the Courses...

THE GOOD:
You can unlock all the original tracks.
Multi-player with link cables is fun.
All your favourite Mario characters roled into one game.

THE BAD:
It lacks a little in the graphics department.
No unlockable.

SUMMARY:
Mario Kart Super Circuit is quite a good game but i just don't think that it's quite as good as the other Mario Kart games that they have released. The controls are nice and simple for easy gaming and there really cool when playing on multi-player which is also a great deal of fun. The levels are pretty good and there is a way to unlock all of the original levels which is really cool. There is 8 characters you can choose from from all your favourite Mario games. The sound on this game isn't to bad and changes too suit the level but i just don't think that the levels are large enough.

Overall i'd say it's a pretty good game but i'd stick to the othe Mario Karts personally.

THE GOOD:
OK graphics for the GBA. Character Design is good because you are use too them. FUN MULTIPLAYER!!. Enough tracks for a little while. Easy to get into and its very addictive AND fun. OK audio.

THE BAD:
What? No unlockable characters!? Mamamia!! Only 20 tracks. Can be very Easy!!!! the controls are kinda bad don't you think? You don't really need to drift do you? And a so-so audio including some of the voice-overs like Wario at times.

SUMMARY:
Overall I say its a preety good game with some notacible flaws. VERY easy to get into. For some reason I think it's going to sell preety well. Nintendo should be proud. But whats with the weird voice-overs espacially Wario. And there are some weird ones like when Yoshi hits a guy he says"WOOOOOOO" or something like that I can't remember... But I do recomend it for you racing nuts out there. This is Freak 2345 out once again......Agravating cliffhanger.. Hey you weren't supposed to hear that!!...

THE GOOD:
unlock traks
winning

THE BAD:
losing
sound quality

SUMMARY:
not a bad game. horrible graphics and poor sound quality. great chracters, and good how you can unlock stuff. you can play 4players, thats good, battle yur friends and race and exchange your gnost to them.

THE GOOD:
graphics, all the original mario characters to choose from.

THE BAD:
u need so much just to have a 4 player game.

SUMMARY:
I liked this game but it was not as good as the n64 mario kart. There are more tracks than the n64 version though.
But i do think this game is a great buy for any one with a GBA as it is great fun especially when you link up with your friends and have a multi-player game.

thanx for readin

THE GOOD:
All 8 original racers included. Over 30 total tracks. Good multiplayer options.

THE BAD:
Controls are a little stiff on GBA. Seems to be missing some of the N64's humor.

SUMMARY:
Mario Kart Super Circuit is essentially a portable version of Super Mario Kart from the old SNES. The original 8 return on new tracks with the original SNES tracks available as an unlockable option. The gameplay is more like SNES MK rather than MK 64-you have to collect coins to go faster during races. All the items are still available, but when you use them, the karts only spin out and there's less voice dialogue, which was a big reason why the N64 version was so much fun to play. Multiplayer racing returns for players with multiple GBAs, and you can even play with just 1 pak (if you don't mind 1 track and only Yoshi)! If you can live without some of the humor and/or want a slightly more intense karting experience, then this one is worth picking up.

THE GOOD:
Well i found reall nothing that great about this game. the only thing that was good in this game would be the levels cause they are amazing.

THE BAD:
Well how you control the characters and the speed of them. I hate the graphics also they are terrible and there's nothing really good about it.

SUMMARY:
i found nothing really good in this game maybe the levels but that's mainly all i kinda of hate this game but i would still play it anyways if i had no choice though.

i think they could of made this game a little bit better than how they made cause they could of made the charcters as fast as everyone.

Anyways i guess since there isn't anything else to say but i give this a three out of a five.

Also i wish we didn't have to type 750 characters worth for a reveiw.
