Mario Kart Follow Ups
|
|
|
Mario Kart 64
Nintendo 1996 In House.
Nintendo 64 Version.
Ultimately disapppointing follow up to the original. Lost something
in its N64 update. Still a good game but diddy Kong was perhaps
closer to how mario kart should've been.
|
Mario Kart Super Circuits 2001
Nintendo Gameboy Advance.
Welcome return to form. A superb follow up with 4 player link option.
New tracks as well as the old ones. Plays like the original. Only
thinkg missing is the feather powerup. :(
