I picked up an import copy of Mario Kart Advance over the weekend, just to satisfy my insaitable urge to play a piece of gaming brilliance, because people, that's exactly what Mario Kart Advance is, sheer brilliance!
Everything you've come to know and love from the Mario Kart series from back in the Super NES days are here and all in tact, it's got more of the Nintendo 64 look of the game, but as far the gameplay mechanics go, it plays the same as the Super NES incarnation.
Adorned with new tracks, most of which I don't know the name of since most of the in-game menu text is all in Japanese. However, Nintendo have given us a HUGE bonus as the Secret Tracks, which appear in the form of the original Mario Kart tracks from Super Mario Kart! Good ol' Nintendo eh?
Multi-player is something that will be a hoot, being able to link up to other GameBoy Advance hand-helds and to play
each other using one, yes one, copy of the game. Match Race provides you with the mirth and adrenaline surge you found
with both the original and the Nintendo 64 incarnation. The battle mode has made a welcome return to the fray, so you
and a few buddies can partake in a few battles, with Red Shells and Green Shells invading the LCD display and putting
your buddies karts into a spin. Awesome fun!
Mario Kart Advance is gaming bliss! Nuff said!

Anyone know if this cheat/glitch works:
What youdo is get a speed start, but just as you areabout to hit the driver in front of you, you hit the jump button and you should go flying into first place.
