This game is full of great stuff for anyone.  With 30 machines to race with, you are bound to find one suited to your racing style.  It has 3 starter "cups", serieses of 6 courses with the 29 other racers, and 3 difficulty levels.  Beating the same cup on all 3 levels will get you a new row of machines to race with (you start with 6).  Once the starter cups have all been beaten on standard difficulty, the "Joker" cup will appear.  It is another set of 6 courses, much more advanced than the others.  The 3 starter cups, plus the "Joker" cup must be completed on all 3 difficulty levels before all 30 machines will be available.  Then, the "Master" difficulty level will come up, and it is EXTREMELY hard to beat, with all of your rivals in the games storyline attack you and basically do anything they can to stop you from winning.  Altogether, this is a gem of a game, with lots of game play variety, multiplayer, and one player.  This is definitely the best racing game made for the N64, and is strongly recommended.
