Mario Kart 64

Mario Kart 64 is not the first game in its series. It first game out on the SNES and has been on every Nintendo system ever since (except the verchual boy). This version game out in 1997. There was no real story mode just winning races. This was a great game if you had more than one controller so you could play with a friend. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Kart_64 )

The racing has remained about the same in the whole series except for a few differences in the original SNES verion. In this version you have eight different charecters to choose from. It has a few tracks that have been remade and put on newer versions that you will reconize. My favorite Mario Kart track is only on this version, and is Yoshi Valley which I like because there are so many possible turns you don't know what place you got till the end. I would like to see this course be remade on a newer version. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mario_Kart )

I got this game with my 64 at the dump. This game still works fine and I have not had any problems with it. This game is a great game to pick up if you like to play racing games, or play with friends. This series has added many more charecters and modes. The latest vesion being on the Wii. You should look for some game in this series. ( http://www.gamestop.com/Catalog/ProductDetails.aspx?product_id=5691 )

Super Mario 64

Super Mario 64 came out in 1996 and, was the first successful Mario game that that had a 3-d look to it. This game was extremely revolutionary for its time. That is why It became so popular. This was the top selling game on the 64. The game was so popular you can find a download version on the Wii and they made a version with more levels and characters for the DS. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Mario_64 )

This game does have the same normal story line, that Bowser has taken Princesses Peach and Mario has to rescue her. Between levels you will be in the castle, you jump into a painting to get to the level you want. There are six different objectives for each level (seven in DS and other charecters too), which you will need to unlock doors to visit new levels. This game has a lot built in to it. That is why it was so succesful. ( http://cheats.ign.com/ob2/068/000/000606.html )

This game is a great game to pick up if you are looking for one. 64 games are cheap, the download versions probaly only a little more, and the DS versions sould not be too bad. Even after getting thourgh the story mode there is many more stars that can be unlocked. This is a great game to get. You should look for a copy.
