I had been waiting for this for quite a while now, and has finally been released, and it has definately been worth the wait.

what can I say that really describes this game?

Well, the graphics are stunning for a start. It looks much better than the SNES version, with new effects. I was quite amazed when I started racing. It looked brilliant. The second race of the Mushroom cup was good, with a ship in the backround firing bombs at you. And there are weather effects too. Very impressive indeed I must say.

Every single track is new, although most are based in similar locations to both the SNES and N64 versions. As I have already said, they all look impressive, and they each don different obsticles, such as falling off edges, or those gophers that jump out of the ground.

There is the normal array of characters too choose from, including Mario and Luigi as well as the likes of Luigi and Wario. Each of them races differently, in fact, they drive similarly to the other Mario Kart's.

So then, let's ask that all important question. Is this game worth buy? Silly question. Course it is. It now takes it's rightful place as the best GBA game available. It is fun to play, and is an absolute blast in multiplayer, with the battle arena's to play on as well. Fantastic!

I think this game will lead to the human race having no thumbs after all the playing has worn them away.

Now I'm annoyed... Mario Kart has yet to appear at my doorstep, and I'm annoyed... very annoyed!

I'm starting to get withdrawl symptoms and I haven't even played on it yet, I need it within the next 5 minutes or I might just do something I will live to regret.

I'm not going to point the finger at SR, but if Shocktrooper has his copy of Mario Kart already, and I'm yet to recieve my copy, the finger is starting to raise. It had better be at my door on Monday if not, Seifer will not be a very happy bunny.

Mario Kart Super Circuit is by far the best handheld game ever - It looks and plays like a dream and its almost hard to believe how they fitted everything onto the tiny little cartridge!! What a game, better than the SNES and N64 versions I reckon!!

Do you mean multiplayer's using multiple cartridges? You can play the game with 1 cartridge, but there are so few options that it is not really worth it, you don't even get all of the cars to race with, or all of the tracks! It is worth forcing your mates into getting Mario Kart as well for absolute multiplayer heaven! I've done that with most of my mates and I'm not going to regret it either!

No, I haven't been using the 5 fingered discount, I have been given the games from SR due to my contributions to the site! Oh yes, it's true, I tell no lie! *Seifer quickly pinches Ortega's copy of GT3 while he is offline*

Knackered? How can you be? It's only half past midnight! That's going to sleep for baby's and over 16's time... ah I see now!
