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.

I played it and Koed the game on every setting. I have to say the best characters for weapons are probably the little people.

Too slow, too easy, multiplayer arenas sucked, hard.


That said, it's still a lot of fun to stick an album on loud and spend 40 minutes doing the all star cup.


But it should have been better, much better. Removing the crappy karts and sticking to the old ones would be a good start.

I bought my Gamecube because of Double Dash since I had enjoyed MK64 so much. I was however dissapointed because it felt inferior to MK64.It is not a bad game it just isn't as good.In MK64 the courses were much better and I think the whole experience was much better.It was the first time I had played a Mario Kart game and it was amazing but the next game in the series did not live up to it.It was a good thing I had got Sunshine,Prime and Windwaker with my Gamecube because then I would have got bored quickly.

It is a great game. My only complaint is the lack of the hop.

I have played Mario Kart 64. Have you played it recently, the graphics and frame rate are appalling, especially on the Donkey Kong one. Still, a great game. Fantastic multiplayer. Though PD had the best multiplayer ever.
