    I like Mario Kart, but I dislike when people look at another kart racing game (Modnation Racers, or LittleigPlanet Karting) and dismiss it as a "Mario Kart rip off"...it just irks me a lot when people do that... Mario Kart is a solid game, but is isn't an entire genre by itself...

    Dante1924 the internet needs more people like you, teaching others how to deal with pathetic trolls. Let me just say thanks to you, love when people expose internet idiots for the time wasting jerks they are. In a perfect world they would just get banned for being an a-hole. ps: Love how reliable Mario Kart is, every system gets a solid entry, I like good games....sold.

    Mario Kart is 20 years old? ...now I feel old. Still an awesome game. Had a bit of a trip down memory lane with a friend of mine just a few weeks ago. We played every Mario Kart in the entire series, but got caught up on Super Circuit, seeing as how the virtual console title on the 3DS couldn't be played multiplayer.

    My sister and I, up until a few months ago, still had weekly MK64 tournaments. It was just the two of us, but it was something we always did. MK7 might be a better game, but I MK64 has a permanent place in my gamer heart, just for the memories.

    ...i rather enjoyed Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest... Granted, it wasn't a Final Fantasy game by any stretch of the imagination, but it was still a fun game.

    You couldn't wait until next Monday GR? SMK came out in Japan on Aug. 27.

    It's weird how Mario Kart seems to be one of the only successful series of spinoff games (along with Super Smash Bros. and a few others). It's just a consistently excellent and popular game.

    >And that's why Nintendo has never released another console based around innovative, easily-misused technology. Hurr hurr, I C wat U did thar.

    Aw man, you beat me to it.

    Haha, yea you get to it first... Damn.

    I love Mario Kart because there's many ways to play. You can use weapons in different ways. You can drift and boost. Aim for the lead, or play it safe in the back to boost forward to 1st at the end of the race. You can take shortcuts or take the safe route. Anyway you play, it's still a blast after so many years.

    I love Mario Kart because you can always come back to it later, without tons of practice.
