For fans of Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64, playing the game on a handheld system will take a few minutes of getting used to, as the shoulder buttons are a little hard to master. These characteristics translate well in the actual game, and you'll definitely note some differences between the three classes and their distinct advantages (or disadvantages) of racing on the game's different track types.

Naturally, Luigi and Mario represent a perfect balance between either extremes. The big guys, such as Bowser and Donkey Kong, are slow off the line, and their speed is drastically affected if they venture onto grass or dirt, but they can use their size to easily push others around. The lightweights, which are made up of Yoshi, Peach, and Toad, accelerate quickly but have a low top speed and can be easily knocked around by others. You'll blast through these events with one of the Mario universe's most memorable characters-Yoshi, Peach, Toad, Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Wario, or Donkey Kong-all of whom are divided into three distinct weight categories. There's even a hidden cup with four extra races that you can unlock if you win the previous four series of races. In all, there are 16 tracks spread across four different 'cups' of varying difficulty, much the same way that the races in Mario Kart and Mario Kart 64 were divided up. The game's core lies in the single-player Mario GP mode, which will take you through a series of races across such famous Mario locales as Bowser's castle, Boo lake, Peach circuit, and Shy Guy beach. The end result is a game that not only visually resembles Mario Kart, but also sounds and plays just like one of the most memorable racing games of all time.Īnyone who has played either of the previous Mario Kart games (or any of the kart spin-offs that this series has spawned) will be instantly familiar with Mario Kart Super Circuit, as it retains the same style of play and the same gameplay options as those of its predecessors. This is to be expected, since the Game Boy Advance hardware that Mario Kart Super Circuit runs on is essentially the same as the Super Nintendo's. While it's actually the third game in Nintendo's popular racing series, Mario Kart Super Circuit is more of a remake of the original Super Nintendo game than a sequel to Mario Kart 64 for the Nintendo 64.
