Mario Kart Super Circuit

THE GOOD:
The best of MK1 and more. (you know all those things you were wishing for if MK2 was on Super Nintendo). More challenging than MK2!

THE BAD:
Same amount of tracks & speed/challenge. Holding an item (banana, shell)

SUMMARY:
- 4 outta 5 smilies

So far, I really like this game! The game play response is a litte different than the regular mario karts...but u get used to it (don't worry its still easy to control). i think the most awquard thing is holding an item (shell, banana). The button placement is wierd. The look and feel of the game is just like MK1 ..makes u remember why u loved MK so much in the first...

THE GOOD:
By far the best racing game ever to hit the GBA, a classic remake of the old original.

THE BAD:
A bit confusing to start off with, more tracks would be nice as well, but that won't stop tou from having fun.

SUMMARY:
Allow me to laugh please. Konami Krazy Racers was a release game for the GBA, and copied MarioKart in literally every single respect - the entire layout, the HUD (heads up display, all of the things on the in-game screen), it had secrets hidden inside it, gold coins to pick up, it had weapons and boosts along the way which we not unlike MarioKart's (Missiles being like the green shells and homing missiles like the red shells, molehills like the banana skins and electric charges as well, I could go on), and it was basically the same game. Only with a difference - MarioKart is fun and Konami Krazy Racers isn't. Simple as that.

The reason for this is that KKR tried to follow MK, so missed out on those little...

THE GOOD:
Multiplayer is fun, The sound and graphics are awesome, and the game is quite challenging.

THE BAD:
Needs more tracks and variety, the same tracks get annoying after a while.

SUMMARY:
This game is just all around fun. It's even more fun with friends who own the game, but even if you're by yourself, this game is still a lot of fun. There's 2 sets of tracks, the old SNES ones and new ones as well, (the old ones have to be unlocked by winning first place in all the tracks in a cup with a total of more than 100 coins, and restarting a track isn't allowed) each with 5 cups, each having 4 tracks, making a total of 40 tracks to choose from. Plus, you can play them in time trial mode and in 3 different cc's: 50, 100, and 150 for the people who want a challenge. All around, this game is a lot of fun for those who like racing games, there isn't a better one for the GBA.

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:
Levels, characters

THE BAD:
not as good as other Kart Games

SUMMARY:
Its a decent racing game and it is Mario so all diehard nintendo fans must have this game. The levels are pretty fun and the character choice is the usual. There have been a lot of racing games for GBA and this is one of the better ones. Its worth your money and if your dedicated to nintendo, its a must have.

THE GOOD:
Portable Mario Kart

THE BAD:
I still like the Snes Mario Kart Better

SUMMARY:
Another Mario Kart. This game is okay, and is really fun with multiplayer. However, single player mode will get boring when you complete the game. If you are going to be on a road trip, this would be a good game to bring with you, but at home you will probably get bored of it. The concept is the same as all the other Mario Carts, Make it to the finish line first by using shells, bananas, and other such things. If you liked the other Mario Karts, and you are about to go on a trip, I would recommend this game.

Bottom Line:

Good for a road trip.

THE GOOD:
The selection of characters, there are a ton of tracks, game modes, the secret tracks, the controls, and the graphics.

THE BAD:
Not a lot.

SUMMARY:
If you love racing games, definitely get this one. It is great for on the road fun. There are eight different characters in this game, and about 40 tracks! This includes 20 new tracks, and 20 old Super Nintendo tracks. The Super Nintendo tracks are unlockable. If you want to just practice, then choose Quick Run. If you want to time yourself, choose Time Trial. If you want to play a variety of tracks, you can play Grand Prix. This is a must-have game.

THE GOOD:
The graphics are excellent and being able to pick your character every time is nice. You can also race with others, and record your time

THE BAD:
You can't exactly save in this game, and picking the characters is sometimes a drawback. It's also called Mario Kart but Mario is one of the worst characters IMO

SUMMARY:
I thought this was a great racing game...

Graphics - 9.9, they were great, I haven't seen much better for GBA but sometimes the tracks have similarities,

Sound - 8, it was enjoyable hearing your character make some rude response when you pass someone, but not as enjoyable as when it's done to you

Replay Value - 9, you can keep playing with different characters, trying to get 1st place one Rainbow Road with spped 150, or trying to beat your time, after you finish though, it gets a little dull.

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...

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...
