Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

Gameplay - 8.5

This year's gameplay is absolutely amazing, I just love how everything is swift and nice and everything, like if you skid around one of the turn's on baby park, skidding is aced, also, the gameplay never slows down unlike on other game series, the animations are smooth and swift, like if you throw a red shell or even a green, it moves exactly where its meant to go almost everytime, expect other times, for sometimes stupid reasons, it might miss, like if you go around a curve, it might go off straight and smash into something, but other than that, I have no choice but to give gameplay a rating of eight and a half stars

Graphics - 9.5

The graphics are absolutely amazing for a gamecube game, honestly, when I first played, I was expected some crummy character models, from selection screen and in the time during a race, but I was wrong to be honest, the graphics will surprise you, honestly, the only thing the graphics lack are overall models, like if you get run over by bowsers gargantuan spiked shell, the graphics will get patch if you know what I mean, or levels might be glitchy if you get close to a wall or hit a banana, but other than that, I'm going to have to give the game's graphics nine and a half stars

Sound - 10.0

This year's sound is absolutely perfect, perfection in every single imaginable way, hands down, like when you get shot out of a cannon on Donkey Kong (DK) Mountain, the boom the cannon makes is absolutely perfect, or when you birdo's egg rolling toward you, you can hear the completely perfect cracking of it's out layer or shell against the ground, overall, the sound has just been absolutely aced, so I have to give it a perfect ten stars

Characters - 8.0

Well for one, we definitely have some better and new characters this year, such as the mario and luigi baby's, who are extremely handy when you're in 5-8th place, as you gain what is nearly the most destructive special in the game that also gets you far, the chain chomp, and then there's King Boo and Petey Piranha, who can use anyones special, which make them handy in any position, the only thing is we could have more usable characters, such as the magikoopa or spikey's or even goomba's for a matter of fact, overall, the characters available get an average right stars from me

Levels and Karts - 9.0

Most of the levels are short and have only so many laps, such as the mario and luigi circuits or baby park, yet it is extremely fun because of limited space for more carnage, the karts could be better too, like more selections for different weight ranges, and the parade kart should have perfect stats being the seemingly best kart in the game as anyone can ride it, however, for levels, there is an upside, the special cup, as Wario Colliseum is pretty lengthy, especially for only 2 laps, or rainbow road, which is difficult to stay on when playing 150 cc, overall, I have to give levels and karts a nearly perfect nine stars

Weapons - 7.5

This year's weapons are great, you have weapons like triple mushroms, or even triple shells which comes in extremely handy whether fending of other obstacles, or even delayong your opponent, my favorite weapon is the blue shell, which automaticaly take out whoever is in first save it for the end of races when you're near the racer in first, overall, I have to give the weapons an ok seven and a half stars

Overall - 8.5

Mario Kart Double Dash is an extremely goof videogame for the Gamecube, especially for the diehard Nintendo fans out there, the new features are great as well, example, this year you can have up to 2 karters per kart, not just one like in Mario Kart 64, also, there's battle modes, which gives you something to do if you're bored to death, and as a bonus this year, there's 16 way competition, which makes the game a whole lot funner, so overall, I have to give this game
