Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn early beta versions of the game, Royal Raceway was called Toadstool Turnpike. It had to be changed, as Nintendo didn't want gamers to get it confused with Toad's Turnpike.
- GoofsAll the karts have dual exhaust ports, yet there is only a single smoke stream coming out out of the back of them, and not even out of the ports.
- Crazy creditsWhen one beats the Special Cup in either 150 cc or Extra mode they see all the courses as the credits roll. Parts not viewable from the course include the train tunnel at Kalamari Desert. The last shot of the credits features the palace off Royal Raceway where the top three players get their trophies with Mario saying "Hey, you were good! See you next time!"
- Alternate versionsThe Japanese version of the title screen had the sound of kids shouting "Mario Kart."
- ConnectionsFeatured in Gamesmaster: Episode #5.11 (1995)
Featured review
Sure it may be surpassed by the later Mario Kart entries, but Mario Kart 64 is still loads of fun 21 years on.
Nintendo IS the Disney of video-gaming; their catalogue of classic games have defined millions of childhoods across the globe and influenced things inside and outside the gaming industry itself. Mario Kart 64 is one of those many treasure-troves of Nintendo's gold-mines of entertainment. Mario is here with Donkey Kong, Peach, Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, Toad and even Bowser. The roster's grown since then, but still what a great selection of characters for a crossover racing game.
Released in 1996, Mario Kart 64 was one of the launch titles of the Nintendo 64, alongside Super Mario 64 (though that game was delayed in Europe and Australia by almost a year from the console's release), and Kart 64 still has fast, fun and vibrant gameplay. You're first place one minute, and then your position is under constant threat thanks to the use of blue-shells, banana peels, lightning bolts and trick-question-mark-boxes which are actually bombs.
This game brings back quite a lot of memories from my childhood: the discovery of many glitches, playing it with my cousins whenever they had a sleepover at my place, and just playing it with my brother gave me such cherishing moments that's helped me become the gamer I am today.
