Advantages: Fun, varied, colourful

Disadvantages: Not a serious racing game if that is what you are looking for

The loveable thing about Mario Kart, is that it has now been around for many years and grown up with children, particularly in my generation - I remember playing it on my Nintendo 64 when I was 7.
Now I am 20 and I still love it! The beauty of it is that families, children, teens and adults can play this game and it is enjoyed by all.

It is a racing game involving Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and the whole brigade of fun and original characters which come along with the Mario Set.
There is the option to play as one play and defeat your own times, as well as the mini game challenges.
The best part is the multiplayer aspect of the game. You choose from one of 4 laps from any 8 of the cups to play as a character of your choice, at what speed you like, with what vehicle, and with what game settings.
You start the races as a group behind the starting line and the 'camera' guy makes a traffic light go from red to green as the number 3...2...1.GO! appear on your screen. A good tip is to hold down your engine halfway in between 2....1, if you time it right you get a boost!
As you go round the courses you can drive through holograms of diamonds with give you an item to use, what item you get depends on what position you are at in the race, if you are far back you can get really good ones like Bullet Bill, which plows you right to the front of the race knocking everyone out of the way, without any interaction from you. If you are 1st you are likely to just get bananas for people to slip up on.
The characters and cars are really fun and say things when they overtake or get hit. It is a game where you can go from 0 to hero in seconds and a lot of it depends on luck of the draw.

I love this game and I love playing it.

It is a classic!

Summary: Great to play with friends
