Get out of a my way you Canoli faced bastard!

Story: Well you race, thats it.

C+

Gameplay: The game works quite fluid but the AI must fart to proplell them at speeds not possible in those Go Karts to catch up when I am a lap ahead. The weakest point in the entire game is how much the game cheats. The game is quite agravatign if you get pissed easily.

B+

Controls: They are good, but you can break off a stick pretty quick trying to power slide.

B+

Graphics/Sound: Great, they mixed Pixels [worked better than Polygons for the Karts] and 3D polygons. The Tracks look nice but they are kinda bland. The sound is okay the music is annoying after a while and you cant tell what some characters are saying at times [did Toad say "Oh #### when he pased that guy!].

B+

Multiplayer: This is where the game shines, you have battle mode which lets you fight using the items or you can do a 4 player race with your friends. This is why you buy the game, but get a big TV.

A

Replay Value: The multiplayer kept me coming back for 10 years!

A+

Overall: Fun if you dont get mad easily, otherwise get the swear jar.

Rent or Buy: Buy!

8.5/10
