My favourite is MK64.
The PAL version was so buggy and crazy, we loved it.
Especially Bowsers Castle and DKs Jungle Parkway, they were so damn fast.
We made polygon crushes with 4 players on Koopa Beach.
(You make this bug appear if all four players get into the ocean at the same time). I think me and my friends are the only ones aware of this bug. That was fun. The stage transformed, there were black holes in the ground and twitching walls everywhere, so this was our favourite racing track. We always made this bug happen and once it occured we started the race.
Anyways... it was the first MK with four player support so that alone doubled the fun that Super MK provided.
In 1997 MK64 was the best multiplayer game ever. Ok, some months later it was topped by GoldenEye...
The other Mario Karts were good, too but SMK and MK64 were the funniest imo. Maybe that's because they were all fresh and new to us when we were young. Double Dash also made lots of fun, character switching was great and all but I prefer to jump.
And while I appreciate the more advanced versions on DS and Wii, they couldn't match the simple fun of the SNES and N64 versions.
I suppose I'm overfed with that series. I shouldn't buy every game because of it's greatness. I should buy it when I'm hungry for it. |
