Advantages: The Whole Game

Disadvantages: ?????

I remember I few years’ back, when I was a likle boy, pleading with my dad to get me Mario Kart. Not known to me it wasn’t out yet! But he performed; don’t ask me how he did it. But he got me the American Mario Kart and a converter. Yippee!

I got down to it straight away. What a game!

The basic concept is as most racing games; Win the races to gain point, the driver with the most points after 5 GP's wins. Simple. The game has 3 worlds each with 5 grand prix in. For every time you win you get 9 points, second 6 points and so on.
The game also has 2(ish) difficultly levels. 50cc, which is supposed to be easy. And 100cc that is supposed to be harder. But after you have completed all 3 worlds and both difficulty setting. A fourth world and an extra difficulty setting will become available.

The graphics for this game are brilliant. Remembering this is for a Super Nintendo. They were by far the best for any racing game out at that time. As the game is a Mario, the game is all bright and cheerful.

The multi-player for this game is great. You can either have a race or series of races. Just as most Racing games have. Or you can have a battle mode (by personal favorite!) There great fun. The basic concept is that you play inside a maze (sort off) and you drive around trying to run over the question mark boxes on the floor. When you successfully run over one, and then get a weapon from a selection. The weapons are accessible through all the races and grand prix, but they have more of a meaning in the battle mode. Weapons range from the speed increasing mushrooms, to shells that follow your opponent.

This game is great if you still have a SNES, and do not own this game I HIGHLY RECOMMEND it!
