Mario Kart: Super Circuit

After just reviewing Mario Kart 64 , this review may seem a bit redundant, but I feel like this game definitely deserves to be reviewed anyways because it is too under-recognized. Jumping right in, I found that it takes a second to get used to the controls, due to the GBA having less buttons than either of the preceding systems with an MK  title, but after a slightly-confusing minute of button fumbling, the game is surprisingly well built for a portable platform! Mario Kart: Super Circuit  blends together the feel of both of its predecessors (being Super Mario Kart  and Mario Kart 64 ), as well as blending the technology of SMK  with the interface and track style of MK64 , making it into an exciting racing endeavor for one player, or four if you can find the Gameboys . The racing action is smooth, the menus aren't confusing, and the game is of the utmost quality. If you can get your hands on it, I recommend playing a few cups! The first mobile Mario Kart game is sure to please!

But enough comparing; MK64  is an amazing experience, both with friends, and alone. The tracks are intelligently designed, and the game is simple enough that anybody can jump in and enjoy the ride (or battle, if that is what you are into). Although some courses can feel a bit redundant , they still manage to be a good time, and worth the 6 minutes of flattening your thumb on the A Button. It should come as a surprise to nobody that this game is fantastic. Although it may be a bit harder to come by than most of the other titles in the series, I believe that it still stands as one of the best. My final words here probably aren't surprising either, but I feel
