I liked Toad's winning theme - it sounded like background music in The Shoe People.

Every Mario Kart game I've played has been of top quality, and this is why I'm expecting no less from Double Dash!!.

Super Mario Kart on the SNES was one of my first experiences of gaming, and I loved it. The game had enough to do in Single Player, and was especially tops in multiplayer. And I loved the songs each character had after they won a race - Bowser's and DK Jr's were the best.

Mario Kart 64 was great, also. I've explained why a little further down this thread, and I can't be bothered doing so again, so if you're looking for reasons for my liking of this game, scroll down a bit. :-D

Super Circuit, although half of it was a revamp of the aforementioned SNES version, it had loads of new tracks, and looked a lot fresher than the console version. I've spent many a day perfecting my lap times on it, and it's easily my most played Game Boy Advance game overall.

Anyone doubting Double Dash!! shouldn't - the Mario Kart series will be as strong as it always has been.

The SNES version was super!

However, I did prefer the N64 version - except for its lack of Koopa Troopa!

Perhaps I worded it wrong.

I didn't mean to say Mario Kart 64 was a c*ck-up, just a little too flawed for such a great franchise; as a follow-up to Super Mario Kart, it wasn't exactly icredible. The same goes for Super Circuit. However, they're still both very good games; in a nutshell, I pretty much agree with AJ.
