Thinking about the sheer magnitude of the ass kicking I would bestow upon Alexander the Great in Mario Kart 64 does not even bring a smile to my face because it would be so thorough it would only register as joyless precision to me. The fact that his army only refused to follow him once in 13 years of a reign during which there was near-constant fighting, speaks on behalf of the loyalty he inspired. Alexander went on to conquer Persia and Egypt, his kingdom ranging all the way from the Mediterranean to India. He eliminated his enemies to become king and leader of the Corinthian League. Tutored by Aristotle, he took charge of the Companion Cavalry at age 18 and aided Philip in defeating the Athenian and Theban armies at Chaeronea.

It is sure to delight almost any fan of racing games.Portrait statue of Alexander the Great possibly reacting to getting his ass completely worked in Mario Kart 64 by me. Mario Kart Super Circuit takes the best from its SNES and N64 brothers and rolls them into one fantastic kart racer. In the past, you’d have to race the entire circuit if you wanted to race a certain track. With it, you can select any track that you’ve raced before, and race it in GP mode with 7 computer opponents. Time Trials add a good amount of replay too. This is a wonderful bonus for me, as I have been sadly missing Super Mario Kart. In Super Circuit you can unlock all the old SNES tracks and race them.
As mentioned before, I lost my copy of Super Mario Kart. Mario Kart Super Circuit has some great replay value too. Its great fun and the graphics and sound are pretty good for single-pak play, much better than F-Zero Maximum Velocity. As for the multiplayer, I have only played a bit of single-pak link. It’s pretty much a best of both worlds scenario.
It borrows track design from the Super NES version and character design and weapons from the N64 version.
#MARIO KART 64 MUSIC TOO QUIET SERIES#
The game doesn’t add anything new to the series though.
The tried and true formula of racing around a track and attacking opponent racers with weapons is executed perfectly in Super Circuit. Power sliding is also a bit trickier in Super Circuit, it is much looser.
#MARIO KART 64 MUSIC TOO QUIET DRIVER#
I don’t like that, seeing as how I am a Yoshi driver in the other 2 games. Yoshi, who used to be awesome at turning, is now only good on off-road tracks. Also, some of the characters control abilities have changed. The controls in Super Circuit are looser than they were in the previous two games. It never seems loud enough for me.Ĭontrol is where Mario Kart Super Circuit differs from its 2 brothers. The only disappointment I have with the sound is that it is too soft. The voice samples of the characters are great, and really add some personality to each driver. The engine sounds are good also, and the horns are a pointless but fun addition. The music is upbeat and catchy and very Mario Kart. The tracks are also very good looking, much better than they looked on the Super NES. They animate very smoothly through turns. The renders of the characters are beautiful. If Tony Hawk didn’t exist, I’d say that Mario Kart Super Circuit has the best graphics of any Game Boy Advance game. And oddly enough, I almost didn’t get Mario Kart Super Circuit. It practically invented the vehicular combat genre of video games. I’ve owned and played every version of Mario Kart at some point in my life.
