Mario Kart 64 is a single player and multi player game that allows up to four players to race. The game is a party style racing game where you pick up items on the track and try to use them to harm your enemies in hopes of winning the race.
Selection:
Each Player/AI selected a Nintendo character and first player chooses what track will be used. There are eight characters to choose from and 16 tracks. The character are divided up into 3 types: light, medium, and heavy weights. Each category has its own acceleration and top speed rating. Tracks may be selected individually or as a championship of four races.
Tracks:
The tracks are a diverse set of tracks each with it own set of quirks that include jumps, traps and cliffs that cause you to crash and have to be reset back onto the track. Each track also has items that are spread throughout the track that respawn every lap.
Items:
Mario Kart 64 has 14 items in the game. These items include obstacles such as banana peels and fake item boxes along with attacking items such as shells, stars, and lightning bolts. Also in the game is performance boosters such as single turbo, triple turbo, and super mushrooms.
Racing:
Each race starts out with the players lined up in two columns. After the start of the race, the players and ais are racing to see how gets first. The race is manipulated by the items that the player and ai collect. The characters also have the ability to slide which allows the character to gain speed in the corners that they would not normally have.
First Race:
I choose a heavyweight character Donkey Kong. I started in last on Luigi Raceway and made my way through the field to third place by the second lap. It was then that I used my triple red shield to knock out both first and second place. On the closing stages of the second lap, I hit a banana peel and only managed to recover back to second place by the end of the second lap. On the third lap, I managed to get past Luigi on the last set of corners by a nicely placed green shell. With this win I would be in first place of the championship going into the second race at Moo Moo Farm.
Second Race:
I started in first place due to winning the last race. but was unable to obtain any items on the first lap. I was knocked down into fourth after being hit by multiple shells. On the start of the second lap, I hit the moles that block the path on the opening straightaway. This caused me to be far away but I managed to recover back to first after getting multiple speed modifying mushrooms and a lighting bolt that stopped everyone on the track. However I lost the race after being hit by a shell right before the finish line causing me to finish third.
Overall:
The game is an extremely fun quick game. It is easily picked up by anyone due to the fact that it has basically two controls: gas and steering.
