Racing with Mario Kart
If you want to play a video game that offers fun, laughs and lots of turtle shells, Mario Kart is the one. It is full of laughs and adventure, as you race with all the favorite characters we love.
Mario and Luigi with Princess Peach, Toad, Donkey and Diddy Kong, Wario and his brother, Waluigi, Bowser, his son Baby Bowser and the adorable Yoshi will test your racing skills, as you go through the many courses in this game. You have a variety of weapons to use against your opponents, such as red and green turtle shells, bananas and golden stars that gives temporary power to become invincible. I have to say, my favorite weapon to use is the lightning bolt that will shrink everyone in front of you, so you can run them over and flatten them.
There are other weapons to use, and the laughs don’t seem to end with this game. I love it! My kids are very good at this game, especially my son, who is notorious with it. He takes the lead then sits on the side of the track allowing everyone to pass him. Once the other players pass him, he slows down and collects the weapons to use against them — the red shells, blue shell that goes after the one in the lead and the lightning bolt. Look out!
Mario Kart is a super fun game to play and is available for the Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, Gamecube, Nintendo DS and the Wii. Mario Kart is a keeper!
The Mario Kart games are definitely among my top favorite games. It is pretty much the only GBA game I did not let my brother steal. It is also the only DS game I own that I still like playing frequently. The Wii one is my top favorite, though, because I like the addition of the scooters.
Mario Kart is always fun, no matter which one it is! My son used to have Mari Kart DS and would play against others through WiFi. He loved it!
We haven’t played the one for the Wii, but we will in the near future.
