Mario Kart's 2 player mode:
If you're only playing with one cartridge, you can only race on four courses, and can only race as Yoshi. If you are playing with more than cartridge, you can race only any courses you have unlocked and as any character, plus you can also enter the battle mode and exchange time trial ghosts.
I hope that's helped you out.
