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!

actually i think it is SRs fault for your game not ariving today. I always have truoble getting games on release dates from them. Always seems to be delivered the day after. Never have the same problem with other companies.

I'm not too bothered, I've had a good day otherwise. It might be a problem with the Postal Service so I'm not going to be pointing any fingers!

Today would have been an absolutley perfect day for me, I won GAD again, Mario Kart arriving in the post as my GAD win claim from before and a whole weekend of sport to look forward to just to take my mind of the past weeks tragedy, but just one thing let me down, Mario Kart didn't arrive in the post today. I'm not blaming SR, because I know it is not their fault, instead I shall just be walking over to my nearest Post Office and demand that they give me my copy of Mario Kart now! But I would settle for it arriving in the post tomorrow morning (but today is tomorrow.. hmmm. I think I mean this morning.... ah well!)

If you ask me, this game is better then the SNES version. There are more effects, such as the all new weather effects, which certainly add to the gameplay. There is also a ranking system.

Better than the SNES version? Yes!

I haven't actually played it but anyway, think the SNES version on a smaller screen with a bright light shining on your TV so you can't see crap all that what I imagine it being like.

Does anyone wanna buy a GBA by the way?
