    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      A beta version of the game was entitled "Super Mario Kart R" and featured Magikoopa as a playable driver. Magikoopa was eventually replaced by Donkey Kong.
    • Goofs
      All 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.
    • Quotes

      [first line and before the end credits start rolling]

      Mario: Welcome to Mario Kart!

    • Crazy credits
      When 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 versions
      The Japanese version of the title screen had the sound of kids shouting "Mario Kart."

    Not matter how many racers are made, this is the best
    Mario Kart 64 is the first game I bought for Nintendo 64 back in late 1996. Even after so many other games and other systems that out did the Nintendo 64, I kept coming back to this game. Mario Kart offers a wide variety of courses to race on with eight unique Nintendo characters. A few of these characters being: obviously Mario, Peach, Bowser, and Donkey Kong.

    There are four sets of races, each featuring a unique course going anywhere from Peach's Castle to Donkey Kong's Jungle. The course's are fun to travel through while you pick up items off the road helping you to stop your opponents and get a better boost. Mario Kart 64 is by far the best racer I've played. It is so unique and fun that you just become engulfed by it.

    When the racing get's old, try to beat your friends in a little battle match or set a course time trial record with your favorite character.

    Mario Kart 64. Featuring: Mario, Peach, Luigi, Toad, Wario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong, and Bowser.

    Uniqueness: 5/5

    Replay Value: 5/5

    Plain Fun: 5/5

    Overall: 5/5
