BOY was Super Mario Kart a popular game back in the day.  "Mario is now racing!  Along with all his friends!" was the thing people were saying to each other in my middle school.  Of course the Sega fans weren't saying that- they could care less about the game or anything to do with Nintendo and all of Nintendo's fans!

Let's move forward to the year 2004.  Is it still a good game?  Yes, but in my opinion, ONLY on 2-player mode.  I think the 2-player battle mode (where you defeat your opponent by hitting them with turtle shells) is quite fun and the main reason to own the game.

The thing is, I don't see ANY of my high school friends anymore.  I'm all alone now, so none of those friends come over anymore to play the battle mode with me.  I'm forced to play the game by myself, and as a 1-player game, Super Mario Kart just isn't very good.  Too many awesome racing games have come along since Super Mario Kart, including the newer Super Mario Kart on the Gamecube (which I haven't played, but I can only assume is MUCH better on 1-player mode).  What I'm trying to say is that the 1-player options don't really have anything interesting about them.

However, Super Mario Kart was pretty fun when I was younger.  And, you know, it probably remains a total blast to play on 2-player.  But if you have no one to play the game with... you better not get it.
