Cheap,Get your motor runnin’… Head out on the highway…., A clever game, Mario Kart incorporates the familiar characters from the Nintendo Games for an exciting racing experience. Several racing circuits each with four thematically different race tracks provide multiple challenges. Some themes include: Racing on a typical (but not elliptical) race tracks; racing through a gold mine (be careful not to fall off the tracks); racing down a snow covered mountain (watch out for the snowboarders); racing through the rural countryside (watch out for the milk cows that meander onto the dirt roadway); racing across the frozen tundra (watch out for the giant penguins); racing on a volcano (you guessed it, watch out for lava!); racing across the beach, through narrow city streets, along moonlit highways…. You even race through a shopping mall. The most challenging (for me) is the track called the rainbow road – in which you race along a spiraling rainbow in space without side rails. If you slide off the track, you become a meteor that blazes toward earth.

The objective is obvious – win races. A player competes among a field of twelve racers, all various characters driving different carts or motorcycles. During gameplay, each racer picks up various items to give him/herself an advantage or sabotage competitors. These items range from turtle shells to banana peels. The game allows up to four players to race at the same time. My daughter and I race each other (she usually wins) and the television screen is split – her perspective is on top, mine on the bottom half. I cannot imagine playing with four players and dividing the screen into quarters. The game is best for a single player and fine for two players. Players choose from an assortment of vehicles, which all have advantages and disadvantages. There is a description for each one with a graphic display of speed, acceleration, drift, handling, etc. Successful players will unlock new game levels, new carts and cycles, and new characters. You can even unlock your own mii, which is full-blown comedy to see yourself racing against Donkey Kong and Mario….
