"I got MARIO KART : DOUBLE DASH"

CrOnO_LiNk · 11-20-2003, 02:24 AM

Got the game yesterday, and for those who want more info on it here's what I have to say...

Single player still has the same 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc. There are 3 original cups with 4 levels each. There is also a secret cup that I have not unlocked yet. You can unlock that if you beat Star Cup on 100 cc. 1 player in my opinion isn't that great, but still alright...

Multiplayer is where this game gets fun. Battling and racing is awesome. Playing 2-4 players (especially 3 or 4 players) is very fun. You'll see you and your friends screaming over a race or a battle. It's fun. There are 3 battle modes. One is the oldschool baloon battle, there is a Shine Stealer battle where you have to get the star and run (it's basically like a game of tag), and lastly there is a bomb battle. The bomb battle is a match where you can only use bombs and attack eachother. You'll see it when you play it.

You can either play multiplayer races together or against eachother. When you play together, one person gets on the back seat and attacks people with his punches and items the driver gets while driving. While driving together, you can switch who drives and who atatcks by pressing Z. (for 2 players, both players have to press Z to switch).

The other multiplayer race is just like the other Mario kart games. You race against everyone in Grand Prix.

Now for the items... Items are really cool. Each character has their own special. For example, Bowser has a big Koopa shell he throws and attacks a whole area. Mario has red fire balls, DK has extra bannana power, and etc... Most of the items are the same, but there are a few different.

So that's about it.

And in my opinion, the bonus disk isn't really that good, but I have yet to try out Sonic Heroes.

The first level on the Sonic Heroes demo is damn fun. Almost the whole time its fast paced which is what a Sonic game is supposed to be. But the second level on the demo is kind of meh.

But yeah, I agree that the demo disk isn't as great as it was hyped to be (ie: Pre-Order MK and get this great demo disk!). *gasp* Jon has said something bad about Nintendo/Nintendo game

But I played the all the demo's and most are good.

But MK: DD is pretty good. I haven't had the chance to play Multi yet since I don't have enough friends over yet who can play the game with me.

MK: DD is a great game. I have gotten to play it with some buddies of mine at school. Playing wht four different carts is great, but playing 2 on 2 is better. It gets you so pumped up.

The absolute best thing, however, was having the game on a LAN with 2 other machines. We played a full Grand Prix with 12 people, 2 on each cart, for a total of 6 carts. It was so much fun and completely insane. Let me just say that if you haven't played a LAN game, you are missing out on TONS of fun. Hundred times better than normal multiplayer. The fights for 1st place were so intense, my blood was boiling. My partner was really good, so we did really well.

BTW, Rainbow Road is a lot better in this one than in the 64 version. It's much more difficult.

Hm.... After reading those last posts, I really feel like buying it again.

I've never really liked Mario Kart THAT much... never played the N64 version although I loved the SNES one.
Oh well, I HAVE TO buy it in order to get the Zelda Disc.

Just got the special cup so fun!

Bowser still ownz. Mario and Luigi are quite good 2

Blix · 11-23-2003, 01:33 AM

Man, this game friggin' owns. I think Baby Mario and baby yoshi are best team. Yoshi and Birdo come along with Toad and ... errr.... her... are head to head in second place. Well, anybody knows which non-official-team characters make good teams anyways? I still haven't been able to make a really good team, just average ones. =\

GameMaster · 11-23-2003, 03:53 AM

I bought it today. I like Baby Bowser!

Man. I am so excited about this game.

But because of lack of funds, I think I might have to wait till Christmas to get it.

That sucks.

I feel the pain. Ask for both MK: DD and another game that can be registered so you can get the Zelda Disc. I can't wait for mine to come in the mail....2 weeks is grueling

I've beaten most of the game.

I beat Mushroom Cup, Flower Cup, Star Cup, Special Cup and All Cup Tour on 50cc, 100cc and 150cc.

I have also beaten Mushroom Cup on Mirror.

I have only 4 more cups...but they're all mirror. If you guys think 150cc is hard you'll discover a whole new world of pain in mirror mode.
