Mario Kart Retrospective - Part 2

September 21, 2010 in Blog comments 4

After two successful entries on the Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64, where would Mario Kart go next? The popular kart racing franchise soon made its way to the Game Boy Advance and allowed players to take Mario Kart on the go. It then made its return to a home console with Mario Kart: Double Dash!! on the GameCube, which was a departure for the series. How did these games fare and what was next for the famed racing series?

    As consistent as the flow of complaints which followed Double Dash's release, I thought the tag team gimmick was quite clever and certainly reeled me in at the very first TV spot.

    I was also lucky enough to stumble upon a Mario Kart GP Arcade machine two summers ago in Florida and even though the unquestioned Namco guest appearances by PacMan and Co., the principle alone was enough entertainment for me.

    Personally, I love Double Dash!! It's a shame it came under so much scrutiny.

    I could never understand why everybody hated Double Dash!!. It's possibly my favorite of the series.

    I've heard several stories from people who dislike Double Dash. Some people think the special items "broke" the game, or messed with the controls too much. I personally don't give a crap and just love it because it's fun.
