It is the successor to Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, and the second game in the Mario Kart series. It was released in Japan in December 1996, in North America in February 1997 and in the U.K. in June 1997. It was later released as a Virtual Console game for the Wii and Wii U in 2007 and 2016, respectively. Changes from the original include the move to polygon-based true 3D computer graphics for track design, and the inclusion of four-player support. Players take control of characters from the Mario franchise, who race around a variety of tracks with items that can either harm opponents or aid the user. The move to three-dimensional graphics allowed for track features not possible with the original game's Mode 7 graphics, such as changes in elevation, bridges, walls, and pits. However, the characters and items remain 2D pre-rendered sprites. The game was commercially successful and was generally praised for the fun and high replay value of its multiplayer modes, though some critics regarded it as a disappointment compared to Super Mario Kart. Gameplay Mario Kart 64 is a kart racing game in which the player controls one of eight selectable Mario characters in several race tracks that vary in shape and theme. During a race, the players can obtain random items from special boxes placed in different areas of the track that are used to impede the opposition and gain the advantage. For example, shells and bananas allow the player to attack opponents and slow them down, and Mushrooms grant the player a temporary boost in speed and jumping ability. In a change from the previous installment, players can carry more than one item at a time. Mario Kart 64 has 16 race courses and 4 battle courses. It is the first game in the Mario Kart series that supports slipstreaming. Game modes There are four different game modes available in Mario Kart 64: Grand Prix, Time Trial, Versus, and Battle. Grand Prix mode supports both single-player and competitive multiplayer gameplay, while other modes only support one or the other. Playable characters Mario Kart 64 features eight playable characters. Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad, Yoshi, and Bowser appear in Super Mario Kart and the remaining two characters, Wario and Donkey Kong, are new to the series replacing Koopa Troopa and Donkey Kong Jr. The characters are divided into three weight classes: lightweights, whose karts have highest acceleration; heavyweight, whose karts have low acceleration and high top speed plus are able to knock around other players; and middleweights, who have normal acceleration and normal top speed. nintendo Put the pedal to the metal in this continuation of the Super Nintendo classic, Super Mario Kart. Mario Kart 64 boasts great graphics, tons of exclusive powers, and a fun 3D version of the legendary Battle Mode. Superb control - the hallmark of all games from Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto - will keep you coming back to play again and again. Mario Kart 64 faces eight familiar faces, including Mario, Bowser and Yoshi, in four circuits of four tracks that progressively intensify. Wide curves and gentle embankments mark the slopes of the Mushroom Cup. However, your journey is noticeably complicated at Flower Cup; dodge thunderous trucks on Toad's Turnpike and rocks tumbling overhead in the mist of Choco Mountain. The Star Cup tracks range from the icy surfaces of Sherbet Land to the lava lakes of Bowser's Castle. The true test of skill, however, is undoubtedly in the four Special Cup courses. Glide through the dark caves and green slopes of Donkey Kong's Jungle Parkway, hold on to the rugged cliffs of Yoshi Valley, and blast your way through the haunted Banshee Boardwalk before tackling the longest runway in the game - the neon lights of Rainbow Road. Mario Kart 64 offers two viewing angles and three engine displacements: 50 cc, 100 cc and 150 cc. You can gain even more speed by mastering the sliding technique or by acquiring Super Star powers. Each kart has its own driving characteristics, acceleration modes and maximum speed functions. Lower powered karts, like Princess Peach's, can be driven smoothly, but with the permanent risk of being crushed by heavier karts, like Donkey Kong's. The projectiles that you can shoot at your race rivals, the bananas to make them slide, and the lightning bolts that make them slow and small are just some of the unique and hilarious powers of this game.
