Product Description
-------------------
Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Wario, Yoshi, Donkey Kong,
Toad, and Bowser put the pedal to the go-kart metal in 20 all-new
tracks, plus many hidden courses. Each track has its unique
challenges, ranging from the crabs skittering across Shy Guy
Beach to the Piranha s lurking in the quicksand of Yoshi
Desert. Grab coins to max out your speed and blast your rivals
with the ever-popular arsenal of red, green, and spiked Koopa
shells. You'll earn points with every high-place finish and
you'll win trophies with the completion of every four-race cup.
Doing well will earn you a high rating and unlock more tracks.
Get a couple of link cables (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005J53A/%24%7B0%7D ) and you can compete
against three friends--there's a basic multiplayer track that
only requires one cartridge amongst you all, though for the full
multiplayer experience you'll need a copy of the game each. The
game features multiple scrolling planes that move in perspective
as you zip through high-speed turns.
.co.uk Review
-------------
Mario Kart 64 was one of the finest games released for
the Nintendo 64 platform so it's no surprise that the brilliant
racing game would make it onto Nintendo's powerful new handheld
Game Boy Advance. And rest assured the game clearly takes full
advantage of the graphic power and speed of the GBA. But this
version owes more to the seminal Super Mario Kart on the SNES in
that it doesn't use the 3D environments of the N64 version.
Still, Nintendo's expertise at sucking players into the game
world is strongly evident, and Mario Kart Advance offers enough
challenges to keep players, both young and old, entertained.
Placing a familiar Nintendo personality, such as Mario, Luigi and
even the mushroom man behind the wheel of a sputtering go-kart
powered by a 50, 100, or 150-cc engine, the game lets players
race computerised nents or up to four other players (via a
cable) on a variety of well-designed tracks. Multiplayer is the
key to Mario Kart, and though you'll need four cartridges for the
full multiplayer experience there are some limited options for
four-way play from a single cartridge.
Because karts lack the power and speed of games (and let's face
it you aren't in it for the Gran Turismo 3 (
/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00005LW5U/%24%7B0%7D ) adrenalin-pumped
experience), drivers must focus on collecting power-ups and
non-lethal weapons, such as the snowball and minimiser, rather
than negotiating hairpin turns on two wheels. Grabbing and using
on-track items is the heart of the game's fun: a strategically
placed banana peel sends the unlucky victim into a spin, nailing
an nent with a turtle shell launches their vehicle skyward,
and a rocket provides a quick boost to near-breakneck
speeds.--Kristen Bowditch

"Much like the superb SNES original: burn around
multi-coloured tracks dishing out justice with weapons." -- NGC
