I think Double Dash is a criminally underrated Mario Kart. I think it's actually one of the few MK that actually tried to innovate the formula by adding a second character, themed karts over the standard karts, exclusive character weapons and such.

Mario kart DS was fun, but felt like more of the same, even if it is one of the best MK games around.

And mario Kart 64 made my childhood...

Matt should be Editor-in-chief of IGNWiine....

Double Dash is an incredibly good game, but I'm still not sure if I've logged more hours into it than into MK64.
I've certainly raced on Baby Park more than any other track ever. That's practically the only course my friends and I play anymore. BABY BABY BABY

I know with Mario Kart 64 I've played my friends and family in it countless times, easily one of the most replayed games of all time for me (Mainly battle mode though). What I loved about the game was the solid controls (never found them too loose), and neat shortcuts (I felt MKDD was lacking in cool shortcuts) , it also had some really awesome additions like going to Peach's Castle. My favorite tracks were the Yoshi one (I loved the different paths you could take), rainbow road for its cool shortcuts, and Wario Stadium. All around I think MK DS had the best tracks, even the new ones were tons of fun such as the Airship or the Waluigi Pinball one! In Mario Kart 64s battle mode I found the block fort (easily the best battle arena ever made) and the double deck were both great. Even though I felt the battle mode was shallow in MKDD (the extra modes felt thrown in) I do love playing Luigi's Mansion on MK DS.

DD has silky smooth solid controls and Daisy steals Giant Bananas and drops them off at more treacherous places FOR THE EFFING WIN.

Daisy annoys everyone incredibly so much hardcore everyone loses their concentration banana FOR THE EFFING WIN.

Me and Pro 666 agree on at least one thing: "HI I'M DAISY" adds so much to the Mario Kart experience. You don't get that in any other Mario Kart game!

Unless you have a differing opinion, I found Double Dash to be uninspired, whether it be the generic racing tracks, basic battle mode arenas or the lame battle mode (I really prefer the ability to jump and thought the level designs were great in MK 64). WIth that said I prefer MK DS over both MK64 and MK DD.

Well. I'll take this one at a time. First off, the tracks were no more "generic" than MK64; I recently played the 64 version as well, and I confirmed this for myself. There certainly were a few great tracks in MK64, but many of them were just boring.. DD, on the other hand, has more variety, more creativity, and they are more fun to play on. Some of the later stages especially were brilliant.. On to controls then, which I feel that DD wins in a landslide. Tight, responsive controls with a good "feel" while driving - they became transparent very quickly. And I also believe that DD's attempt at innovation was a breath of fresh air to the series; otherwise it would be just like MK64. Two karts are definitely underrated, and do provide some more strategy and fun.

I will agree with you that the battle mode in DD was lacking, and more effort should have been put into it. However, it's incredibly balanced.. I have 3 friends who are about the same skill level as me in DD, and playing the battle games are always a riot. Whether it's Bobomb Blast in Cookie Land, or Shine Thief in Luigi's mansion, the games always come down to the wire, which makes it really fun to play. I also agree with whoever said that DD needed more secret passages, but that really didn't make or break the game to me.

So yeah, we're entitled to have our opinions, but that's why I prefer Double Dash over MK64..

EDIT: I guess we can all agree on one thing - don't play Mario Kart of any sort right after you play F-Zero GX!

I feel the 64 tracks were more....evocative. Just focusing on setting, Rainbow Road was magical, Toad's Turnpike and Chocowhatever Mountain evoked the open road from a kid's perspective, and then you had stuff like Bowser's Castle and snowy world whatever and the beach and the desert. It was all very memorable and cool. Contrast this with DD, which drew it's inspiration from the bland Sunshine, and I don't think there's any comparison.

...Though I did like that one course. The Donkey Kong one, with the canon.

I do not like F-Zero GX on the Gamecube because it has always Restarted my Gamecube.

That's why I'm going to play it on my Wii

Your GC probaly did that because the crappiness of the F-Zero series was too much for it to handle. hehe

F-Zero GX is TOO HARD.

Even the Demo did... Oh the irony.

My wife and I went around for a month screaming "Hi I'm Daisy!!!" To eachother...and other variations. She quickly became one of my favorite game characters.

VGRevolution is so not HARDCORE. And you know it! Seriously, how can you not like the F-Zero series? The speed, the adrenaline, the rush, the brilliance..

And to all the pansies who think F-Zero GX is too hard, you don't deserve to own a HARDCORE GameCube!

Heh, it's funny how that's one of the few games where I can actually say that and back it up..

Did you like the 2D metroid games? That is how I am I really liked Super Metroid, Metroid Zero Mission, and Metroid 1 yet never have been a big fan of the Prime series.

Ceric · « **Reply #146 on:** September 10, 2006, 07:13:59 PM »

I like Prime 1 and Metroid fusion myself. The rest I could care less about even though I haven't played Zero mission and a large amount of the first one.

No, I really didn't dig the original Metroid series sidescrollers. My younger brother can play Super Metroid for hours though and just get sucked in, and I'm not averse to watching him play. Prime doesn't fare much better, though I did actually enjoy it for maybe an hour or two thanks to the transforming touch of the master, Miyamoto. Primarily I enjoyed the Space Station Tutorial level a lot and then...eh.

I'd like to learn to play the theremin if you don't mind.

No, if you don't like Metroid at all, you have bad taste.

It's not even debatable.

For some reason, I keep reading "The Wii is so not hardcore" in a Group X voice.

Shiggity shiggity schwa.

Ok we have a Tuba (Since we are going with exotic insturments maybe I should play an Ophiclied(The spelling is all wrong. I con't find my musically instrument book. Suffice it to say it's a tuba that is played with a reed like a woodwind. It's actually a tuba precursor like the Serpent.)), a theremin, so VG you want to play the Laser Harp or something?
