tons of fun, when you have a party of four people.
i love playing as classical characters, such as my favorite combonation, Mario and Luigi, they make a perfect match, and same with Bowser and Baby Bowser, and so on and so forth.
the N64 version was fun and had alot of it's moments, and was a great classic, but this one beats it slightly, this is one of Nintendos best racing games..... next to F Zero GX.
if you like racing games, and hve a GC, and love Mario, then this game is a must buy for you.
