WiggumFan267 01/16/21 2:29:48 PM #24:	time to steal from Naye #73. Mario Kart 64 (N64, 1997) I think this game was in my Top 25 like 10 years ago. It's definitely faded a bit with time, as there are definitely more superior and just as fitting entries in the series, but this is the one I'll remember the most fondly, and in-and-out obviously. I never was a big fan of racing games, but the thrall of having Mario characters in it, with colorful and familiar locations, plus being styled as a party game with items was the cincher. I was never really a big fan of the SNES one, I thought the controls weren't good enough, nor any racing game for the SNES really with just a D-Pad. And even then the environments of the levels were boring. Here, the levels themselves were the main attractions. Driving in areas that didn't really actually exist but really felt like they should and that that's what they would look like-a DK level, a Bowser castle level, Wario with his own stadium with his face everywhere, etc. The environments of these levels made them feel like they fit perfectly with that character/their game, or just as an environment in general. Even the non character specific ones, like Frappe Snowland or Banshee Boardwalk feel right in the context of the game. The items made it fun, absolutely would not befun without them, and I think they're a good balance of being just useful enough tohave an impact but not too useless to be pointless. Plus the fact you get worse items while further ahead is good. Obviously, multiplayer. Grand prix style was always a great time and I continued to play this long with friends after the N64 was falling to the wayside. Probably played more Battle than GP though, great tactics in those modes with friends. The quirk that sticks out the most to me is the fact different levels, especially in this mode, had different GPU speeds, so some levels would run really fast or really slow (hi skyscraper). I think the fact Yoshi's Canyon can't tell you who is in first is related to this too? Anyway, Battle mode is great. And of course the great "secret" of visiting Peach's castle in royal raceway.
