Rapidly becoming my favourite Gamecube game this. I know it has recieved a lot of stick, especially for the battle mode, but the single race experience is second to none.

I've been playing it with a bunch of my brother's mates for the past 2 hours and I'm getting a few mates over to play it in a moment.

Ah I love it so, a true Gamecube memory.

Powerslide is in it.

Mario Kart doesn't feel the same with just one character. The Dual characters add such a new dimension to the franchise... It's just so much fun. I always have a character that has a defensive special and one that has an offensive one. And I switch between them depending on position.

Love the game.

Well, they didn't get rid of it completely. They just removed the jump function so that it felt really weird and crappy.

I don't think the racing is better at all.

Powersliding was removed, the courses are extremely short and on the whole not as good, and controlling the karts has changed so much it just feels wrong.

Actually racing in Double Dash is better but the battle mode is better in the 64 version..

Dringo, play Mario Kart 64.

Then play Double Dash again.

Then weep in dismay.

Yeah there's something about the simplicity of the game that appeals to girls.
