The two kart concept was innovative and offered new gameplay mechanics without going over the top. MK  is the best offline multiplayer experience on Gamecube (except for maybe SSBM), and possibly any console. The only catogory I give an edge to MK64 is in levels. The levels in Double Dash were sort of bland for some reason or another. |
Maybe I should have said Mario Kart Double Dash was crap compared to Mario Kart for the snes. I still play Mario Kart for Snes and it is still 100 times better than double dash. The thing I liked about Mario Kart for snes was the corners. You either had to slow down or power slide on most of them to get around them without going off the track but in double dash you dont need to slow down or powerslide, you could just keep holding down the gas and go right around the corner and it takes no skill. Even MK64 was inferior to the original. I agree the gameplay isnt as good as Double Dash but the tracks and multiplayer were better.
I really dont agree with you about how "MK
is the best offline multiplayer experience on Gamecube (except for maybe SSBM), and possibly any console." You should really play some other multiplayer games. I think that MP2 Echos has better multiplayer than MK: DD. Xbox has some really good multiplayer games as well, theres Halo, Halo 2, Ghost Recon 2, Burnout 3, and others (Im too lazy to name them all).
By the way, has anyone checked out The New Super Mario Bros. for ds. That game looks friggin awesome. If you havent check that out watch a video on it, the screenshots wont make you as interested in it.
