IGN - Mario Kart 7 for the Nintendo 3DS marks the (you guessed it) seventh entry in the Mario Kart series, which has been providing gamers with kart-racing goodness for nearly two decades now. In celebration, IGN Nintendo has decided to hand out seven awards in honor of the plumber's latest racer (check out our review of Mario Kart 7 if you haven't already). We're honoring the best items, tracks, multiplayer, single-player and more, as well as the very best in show.
Mario Kart DS still plays a fine game of handheld Mario Kart more than 20 years after its initial release.
I really liked the Mission Mode. They had you doing crazy stuff like driving backwards, or collecting all the collectibles as quick as you can between a litter of enemies.
They should add it to Mario Kart 9 for sure, along w online leaderboards for the mission stuff. That's how they could expand on the already excellent Mario Kart 8, bc track quality it's hard to imagine them getting much better beyond slightly tighter graphics and 4k on the Switch 2. Maybe more Diddy Kong Racing-esque adventure layout w more emphasis on boats and planes.
It's hard to say that Mario Kart DS is the best "handheld Mario Kart" though, bc Mario Kart 8 is handheld. It's definitely got some uniqueness that I appreciated. The 2 merged together would be amazing.
I don't think Mario Kart 8 (and Deluxe) rank too highly for me, personally. There's just not as much life in them.
Mario Kart Double Dash, MKDS and Super Mario Kart are the only three that are actually fun to play. Sure MK8 is pretty but its just that. It lacks the soul of double dash. the DS one controls really really well and the orignial with the feather power up is cool.
Hard to disagree with that, really how can all the other games (especially after it) have less single player content?
DKR managed a better game on the 64 and Mario Kart gets away with literally the bare minimum all the time.
Nintendo's beloved racing series has been around for more than three decades, but which are the best Mario Kart games?
Want to know what the best selling N64 games of all time are? Here's the top ten list, with many fan favourites and a couple of surprises.
Never understood what 64 meant. Can anyone enlighten me? All I know is my neighborhood friends and I used to play the crap out of it. Favorite games were Cool Boarders, Mario kart 64, WCW vs NWO just to name a few. Man life was simple and good.
Haven't played mario kart since my N64 days....weird.
The first one on SNES. Well thats the only one that I owned, but the n64 one was alot of fun too.
MK64 was my favorite. I really want to play MK7 though. It looks like a lot of fun.
Double Dash and MK64. I didn't like the MK DS because I love playing Mario Kart with friends on a TV
MK on the wii was the worst imo, way too unbalanced. My favorite ones were double dash and ds.
