my review for this week is:
Super Mario Kart
July 1, 2002
Week 3
What does Mario and his friends and enemies do on their sparetime? They race around in gokarts shooting koopa shells at each other! ...and that´s what tis fab game is all about. Super Mario Kart is pure fun to play and got a last-ability never seen in a game before, I was still playing it, 2 whole years after I first got it! That´s why I give it 98%! If you going to own just one SNESgame then this is the one!
You can choose from playing as Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Dk jr, Yoshi, Peach,
Toad or Koopa Troopa. The drivers have different abilities. Mario and Luigi
is good allround drivers. Toad and Koopa Troopa is a little bit slower
than Mario and Luigi but has better cornering.Dk jr. and Bowser has the
best top speed of them all but a very sloooow acceleration. Yoshi and Peach
has great acceleration but the lowest top speed. The game features 4 different
modes: Grand Prix, Time Trial, Match Race and last but not least, Shigeru
Miyamoto´s own favourite, the awesome Battlemode! In Grand Prix that
can be played both alone and against a friend, you race against all the
other drivers in cups the Mushroom, Star, Flower and Special cups. In Time
Trial you race against the clock on the games 20 different courses. My
favourite is Battle Mode where you play 2 players, head to head. Each player
has three balloons attached to their karts. Then you drive around inside
an arena and tries to hit the other one with green shells, bananas, homing
shells and other things. If your kart gets hit by shell or something it
loses one balloon. And the one that loses all their balloons first loses.
It´s the Battle mode that really makes this game something really
extra. You never gets tired of battling with your mates in Battle mode.
SMK is truly the perfect game, if you´re two or more that is. If
you play it alone you´ll still have fun with it a time with beating
your Time Trial-times, but when you get tired of that the fun is over.
Incredible fun for two player but limited for one players!
Overall 9.6 out of 10
