I know I tend to mention decompilation/recompilation PC ports the day they come out. Sorry for being late by like 2 weeks, but Spaghetti Kart is a PC port for Mario Kart 64. From the same devs behind Starship, Ship of Harkinian, and 2Ship2Harkinian.

It's an improvement over the original in every way, but man, the rubber banding AI drives me crazy enough to lower it from 4 stars.

Why did they feel the need to have bombs randomly placed around the tracks when playing 3 or 4 player matches? My friends and I were playing this last night and totally forgot that these bombs existed. As far as I can tell, there is no way to turn them off. Idk... it just seems like an unusually bad decision …

Review El_Diegote 5/5 · Mar 18, 2023
This game had Toad's Turnpike in extra with all the traffic going against you. That by itself makes it a 5 star game, my favouritest Mario Kart stage of all time. Not even the remakes of that stage in other games come close.

This is an iteration I've played on and off over the years, but I recently drove through all the courses again and tried to come to a decision for how I feel about the game as a whole. Back in the day I didn't care for it at all, and felt it was extremely overrated. (Unpleasing aesthetic, slippery turning, the blue shell, etc.) But I've warmed up to it a bit, the game is fine actually overall and has a certain goofy charm to it. (I like the silly things the characters say, or the noises they make.)
I'll still say I prefer SNES Mario Kart though, and will probably continue to have mixed feelings for the franchise as a whole.

I just revisited this classic by 100% clearing the single player and had a lot of fun, but there is a bit of jank I don't remember from back in the day, like getting hit by your own red shells or hitting a bad part of a wall and clipping through.
That said, this game really shines in multiplayer and …

That said, this game really shines in multiplayer and I'm sure most of those quirks add to the fun in a less serious setting.
The sound design and graphics reallllly bring me back!

Have you ever played Drunk Driver? It's the game where you have to finish a whole beer during a single race but you can't touch the beer and the controller at the same time. You should try it. It's fun as hell.
The other Mario Karts just don't feel as good as this one does and I don't know why.
Review Saiyajin 4/5 · Dec 24, 2019
A solid racer with a solid cast of characters, even if they aren't exactly fully 3D. Of course, there isn't as much to do as later entries but it's still a respectable amount with 16 memorable tracks and a battle mode that can occupy me for hours on end. To this day this game has some of the best soundtracks …

To this day this game has some of the best soundtracks in the entire series, a race on Rainbow road will never get old.

So one Thanksgiving we played Mario Kart with some of the other younger folks who were over for the massive gathering, including a gent who used to live down the street from Bradley Nowell, Sublime's late frontman and owner of Lou Dog. Said gent had a dog who would play with-—and dominate—Lou Dog, and during our karting, I clobbered said gent. So basically I'm more powerful than Sublime and am curious as to the whereabouts of my reality show.

Review SailorStar 5/5 · Oct 3, 2018
Dare I say the best of the Mario Karts? Probably more because it was some of the best co-op couch gaming in my life, rather than it being an objectively better game than any of the sequels.
