Mario Kart 64

Driving Game from Nintendo

3D update of the classic SNES game. This fun racing game features cartoon-style drivers and karts. There are three main game options; time trial mode, Grand Prix championship, versus and battle modes. Up to four can play in versus races and battle modes.

In all modes, except time-trial, weapons are available. These are picked up from boxes that appear on the track and include homing shells, invincibility and speed-ups

There are eight characters, each of whom has their own handling characteristics. They are well-known Nintendo characters, such as the Mario brothers, Donkey Kong and Bowser. Tracks are grouped into four cups, each with four tracks, of increasing difficulty. They cover a good range of track types and settings and incorporate some impressive jumps. Among the settings are a highway with traffic moving in the opposite direction, a haunted dock and Bowser's castle.
