Trivia:
The course "Royal Raceway" was called "Peach Circuit" in the Japanese version. In fact, all courses that end with "circuit" (e.g. Luigi Circuit) were replaced with "raceway" in this game. more

A very fun racing game and one of the N64 platform's best games, 25 May 2005
Author: MovieAddict2009 from UK

"Super Mario Kart 64" is a very fun game and much better than I expected it would be. When it came out in '96 I didn't buy it straight away, but a few friends of mine owned it and I got really good at the game -- and found it really fun to play.

Later I ended up buying it used at a game store and played it all the time. It's a really addictive racing game and elitists will be surprised that just because Mario is attached, it's not a cash in (like Mario Tennis and Party) -- it works well with or without Mario and, like "Paper Mario," doesn't sacrifice gameplay to target towards the little kiddies.

This is a great racing game AND a great Mario game. It's got fun features, well-designed tracks, fairly decent graphics for the time period (remember N64 was top of the line in '96) and a great two-player battle option.

All in all, a must-own if you've got an N64.
