I have played every Mario kart and I have to say double dash was easily my favourite until Mario kart 8 (and then deluxe). I played so much double dash with my pals though, some great times.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

Double Dash and DS are tied for my 2nd favourites in the series. 8 Deluxe is my favourite in the series.

[@shaggydee91]

I loved the snes to the first Wii one...n yess DD is fire

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

@Wreck-It Rolfe I can see why, Double Dash is probably the most difficult to pick up and play in the series because the two characters per kart mechanic does take some getting used to. I'll also admit that as a preteen, I preferred 64 (used to think it was one of the greatest games of all time). Nowadays, Double Dash is a game I love more and more as time goes on whilst 64 has become one of my least favourite childhood revisits.

[@RetroGamesBoy78]

ReigningSemtex There is something not quite right with Mario Kart 8, i'm a pretty skilled player when it comes to Mario Kart games, with MK Wii online i nearly always finished top 3 and always beat my fianeé in 2 player mode, Double Dash the same, yet Mario Kart 8 its a lottery if i win against her, i also had my nephews round 1 night who had never played a MK game before & even they beat me on a number of occasions. I think the number of item boxes & getting tagged is the source of the problem here, you can easily drop several places if you get hit by a projectile then get tagged by passersby, incredibly annoying if you're in 1st position with a few corners to go and through the poor game mechanics you're all of a sudden in 8th place with no chance of getting back.

I refuse to believe people knock Double Dash for being too simple. Despite having several unique, more creative, mechanics than modern Mario Kart. Games Journalism was fraudulent LONG before Gamer Gate

[@sonicmario64]

"Mario Kart: Double-Dash!!" was actually my most favorite game in the Mario Kart series before I was able to play "Mario Kart Wii" and "Mario Kart 8: Deluxe" due to the concept of being able to play as any two characters at the same time while also including Special Items that each character was able to use. :)

[@DragonNexus]

An additional bit of info on those arcade games. You could pick up a card in certain arcades that would hold data on them. You'd insert them into the machine and it would have your personal profile and save data on it. It would hold your best times and, most of all, it would keep a record of which items you'd unlocked. That gave you huge incentive to come back and try to unlock more stuff as well as keep a permanent record of your achievements. Or at least, as permanent as the arcade cabinets and the data on the card.

[@linkeffect82]

This was a very awesome overlook of an awesome series that I adore. Thank you for giving such a fun, and nicely thorough view on this series that gives a wonderful understanding of it's roots and history. I am absolutely going to grab Mario Kart 8 delux when I get a real chance. Cheers!

gotta love retro game commercials, they are both a nostalgia trip and an acid trip combined, cause you'd swear the ppl who made the commercials were on acid or some other kind of drug when they made them.

[@lordeilluminati]

Just to clarify, rubberbanding actually makes the game HARDER in Mario Kart (there are reverse rubberbanding in some games, but mostly it is not because it is way harder to program a challenging and fair AI than making one that makes the player win. Gran Turismo 6 is one of them). Rubberbanding is a technique to stay competitive and avoid being too far ahead or behind. In most Mario Kart games, 50cc is the setting that completely disables rubberbanding, the CPU wont receive the items it needs whenever it wants and they can miss shots like a player would. Super Circuit I dont think it is difficult because of rubberbanding alone (even though I dont like it), but the track design and weird drifting. I think Wii is the hardest based on rubberbanding alone, the CPU dont tolerate players being on 1st for too long.

They don't know how to make good games anymore. speed freaks on the ps1 pisses over new this mario kart. The new mario karts don't feel like you are going fast enough even when hitting turbo's & what not. the karts feel like you are driving with massive weights in the back dragging you down. I can't stand how mario games have gone.I think they took the wrong turn, not the way I thought it would all go.

[@michaeljayne6731]

@@onenessseeker5683 Too slow? Did you not try 200cc? And if you think Mario kart 8 is luck based, then you need to git gud, because item strats and subtle shortcuts can erase the luck factor.

Mario Kart Super Circuit will always be my favorite simply because the sense of speed on that one is REALLY fast once you master the drift boost mechanics and everytime you use a boost pad or a mushroom, it feels like you're going to go through a portal, but tbh wii is my go-to simply cause of how much fun I had with that one during high school library tournaments (I never had a Wii, I really want one)

Mkds and double dash were the best in my opinion just for the mechanics. It just feels so good instantly getting drifts and keeping up that speed, which you can't do in the later games.

[@ultrairrelevantnobody1862]

One thing I loved about Double Dash is once you master the drifting, 150cc becomes somewhat easy because of how far ahead in the lead you can be. It's ridiculous yet super entertaining. Same with DS except it's more broken which is okay by me because the AI cheats and I must cheat back.

Literally everybody who says that the Mario Kart series has "mostly gotten better over time" started with 64. Some of us started with Super, and had to wait *20 years* for 8 to finally surpass it.

[@meganpayette5996]

One thing that I noticed over the years is that starting with Super Circuit and ending it with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (due to it being a hybrid system and all) that the makers of the series seem to have a pattern of releasing a Mario Kart game on a handheld and then on a home console. This is also the case with Animal Crossing starting with Wild World up until the Wii U era in which there was no core game present, instead being something else that leaves a bit of a sore spot for most fans. On the flip side a new core Animal Crossing game is coming to the Switch.

Yay, thanks for using my Koopa Troopa Beach remix. I've enjoyed the series for a long while and 64 was the first one I played when it was new. Double Dash I wasn't as fond of but DS has become one of my favourites. Wii is quite fun too and 8 had some good ideas (although I objected to the anti-grav because it seemed like the death of F-Zero).

We played 16 player Mario Kart DD on the Cube. Still have two broadband adapters for doing all that. Though I did play PSO for years so I had one for that and a 2nd I got for cheap when MK DD came out.

FACT: Mario Kart 64 when it was still called Super Mario Kart R featured Bowser's father, Kamek in the game instead of Donkey Kong. It wasn't until the final release that Kamek got the boot in favor of Donkey Kong. Sadly Kamek was never included in any future Mario Kart entry.

There may not be much interest in the double rider mechanic ever returning, but I really wish Nintendo would bring back the character specific special items from "Double Dash!!" one of these days. Oh, and All-Cup Tour, as well. Just imagine how crazy that would get now that 32 tracks (or more) are the norm. Bringing back the side swipe with just a single driver would also be quite interesting. Well, they kind of did bring that last one back for "Mario Kart 8," but it's more of a mutually beneficial move that only works on the anti-gravity sections. Oh, by the way, you forgot to mention that Toadette made her character debut in "Double Dash!!" (like Waluigi did in "Mario Tennis")

CTR was lightning in a bottle, the perfect kart racer for the Playstation.

The plan is to remake the old CTR anyway, which although it would be an HD recreation, is still not a new sequel.

Thanks for making these vids, even if it took me two years to watch it!

You are a legend..... I was praying for this.

I've played nearly all Mario Karts, but still for me, the SNES version will always be the one... There was just something special when I first played that, and even though the sequels were obviously bigger, and graphically better etc, there was just something about the first one that I just love... I cannot put my finger on it, but... SNES Mario Kart, will always be the definitive edition! :)

While I don't think Super Mario Kart has aged entirely well. It's still a pretty fun game to play.

16:00 this was my second game that i played. After mario64. These 2 games were responisble for my gaming hobby. Started at age 6 with playing these games. This is why these games are my nr 1 and 2 of all time

Took me two entire lunch breaks at work to watch this, I love it :) Keep at it!

[@BongoBaggins]

Well yeah, Crash Team Racing is the best karting game ever made.

Good Lord, man! Over 50 minutes? You've gone mad, and I love it!

For the Gamecube release, visited some friends that used the link-up feature for 16 player once. The shouting when someone threw out a lightning bolt was absolutely tremendous.

A 1 hour vid of the history of Mario Kart....Lezz-A-Go! Love ya vidz mate....the time n love...been watchin fo a long time now love the channel

I'd like a realistic Mario Kart where your kart can't take much damage before it breaks down. Would add to the challenge.

I have said it before, and I'll say it again...It would be nice if Nintendo made a Mariokart Complete. One with all the tracks from previous games (battle and race-tracks that is), all characters from previous games (perhaps even the arcade games of Mariokart) and all items and different karts from previous games...With an option to play double dash or not. I think that would be a smash hit. Perhaps when the 30th anniversary for Mariokart comes in 2022 ? Everybody loves Mariokart...so why not make a complete edition ? Give the players what they want and you're playing with power...Super power that is ;) !
