While it may not have been implemented in any Mario Kart game outside of Double Dash, the idea of having two racers per kart has not been forgotten by Nintendo -- and it may be seen again in the future.
There's also the technical side of all this, as Konno mentioned one of the the challenges involved with having multiple racers per kart that isn't apparent on the surface.
Nintendo's beloved racing series has been around for more than three decades, but which are the best Mario Kart games?
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
Nintendo's little purple square didn't get the acclaim at the time, but the best GameCube games show what a powerhouse it really was.
Oh man... FZero. That is actually the only game I ever got sick off of. And Im not talking motion sick but full on seizure induced sick. It was so damn fast that my eyes just couldnt keep up and I found myself waking up in the hospital. Havent even tried to play it since, nearly 20 years ago. I can play wipeout, fast racing RMX, burnout... lots of other really fast racing games no problem. FZero really F'd me up that day.
Other cube games I never get tired of playing are mario kart dd, metroid prime, rogue leader and ikaruga
Man, we need a Viewtiful Joe and Viewtiful Joe 2 remake, along with F-Zero GX, Metroid Prime 1,2,3, can't forget Eternal Darkness, damn that game was amazing, Baten Kaitos as well. Noticed I said remake not remaster, I would love them to be remade in a whole new engine brought up to at least 2022 standards.😊 Remade on Switch and ones that are 3rd party can go multi-platform.
Honestly that console was up there in my top 3. So many good innovative games. Eternal Darkness was brilliant with the way it messed with you….aka your controller is disconnected… lol. Metroid, Zelda, Viewtiful Joe, and so many others. I miss playing them. Been thinking of buying a GameCube and jumping back into the nostalgia.
This seriously could have been a cool addition to Mario Kart 8. The player on the back could have the gamepad and be seeing things from behind on its screen while the player up front has the TV to focus on.
Well maybe Nintendo could do some DLC.
There's no reason to ever bring back the dual racer mechanic. It didn't serve any purpose.
Loved playing with 16 people in double dash tons of fun
Double Dash is still my favorite, sad that I've heard so many people bitch about the game.
