Summary:
Mario Kart is a 3d racing game for the Nintendo 64 console. There are 8 familiar characters from the Mario universe to choose from including bowser, peach, toad, etc. The game is played in one of 2 different game modes. Traditional racing where you have to be the first to cross the finish line and battle mode where everyone has three lives and the game doesn't end until there is only 1 player left. The game can be played single or multi-player. The games multi-player option is where the game really shines and is why I still enjoy it today.
Gameplay:
Mario Kart is one of my all time favorite games. It is one of the only games I have been consistently playing for over a decade and still think is fun. I've played the game so much now that I have somewhat mastered every aspect of it. The only reason the game hasn't gotten old is because there are other people who think they are better. Competition to be the best is the driving force in this game. The game is more fun with more players. Playing one on one is ok but the games where I am jumping off my seat usually involve 4 player action. This creates a social network of people who competitively enjoy striving to be number one.
Mario Kart is an amazing game because it takes minutes to learn and years to master. Whenever I find someone as excited about Mario Kart as I am I get goosebumps with the anticipation of owning them. The reason Mario Kart is fun is because there will always be people who think they are the best, and in their small gaming circle at home they might be. But here in the college prison system better known as the dorms gamers and geeks alike from all over the country congregate and get to test their skills and prove who really is the best driver.
