Played a Double Dash mod called Extended v2.0 by M64.

Double Dash is my fav Mario Kart, but my biggest complaint is that it's hard to go back to only having 16 tracks when every game afterwards had 32+. This mod remedies those issues by adding 32 tracks, bringing the total to 48. Great fun if you and your friends …

Played a Double Dash mod called Extended v2.0 by M64.

Double Dash is my fav Mario Kart, but my biggest complaint is that it's hard to go back to only having 16 tracks when every game afterwards had 32+. This mod remedies those issues by adding 32 tracks, bringing the total to 48. Great fun if you and your friends want to play Double Dash with more tracks. 31 of the tracks are retro tracks from other Mario Karts and it's fun seeing them remade in Double Dash for the aesthetics and mechanics. They also replaced palette swap karts with more unique designs, which is a welcome change to bring more visual variety. 2 battle maps were replaced with new ones, but I wasn't able to play them since I played solo. Some things that I didn't see confirmation for, but I felt were changed: cars on the road seem to go faster making city maps more chaotic, it's harder to hit with green shells, red shells and blue shells seem better and are harder to react to, and it felt like there must have been rebalancing done to kart stats.

If more Double Dash is what you want, I'd recommend checking out this mod.

This game has such a cool gimmick. The double carts and changing items depending on the character was really ahead of its time. The controls were also a little wonky but tight at the same time. My favourite course is Daisy Cruiser.

Day 26: Lotta chatta about Mario Kart so here's one of my favourite course tunes. A bit late because I'm a terrible person.

Double Dash is my second favourite MK game behind MK8, which might be a bit unfair as MK8 is becoming all the Mario Karts rolled into one. It's the Smash Bros Ultimate of Mario Kart games. It …

Double Dash is my second favourite MK game behind MK8, which might be a bit unfair as MK8 is becoming all the Mario Karts rolled into one. It's the Smash Bros Ultimate of Mario Kart games. It may never be topped.

This was far and above my favorite Mario Kart title. Being able to play as a duo and knocking people around was my favorite part of this franchise, and getting good at punching around corners as a team really increased the couch co-op aspect of this title.
