A game I thought was gonna be a horrible pirated game, is actually worth the play

User Rating: 7 | Kart Fighter NES
Kart Fighter is a game I thought was going to be crap. The game is actually not bad though. Now out of all the pirated games I have played, this has to be the best. Kart Fighter is a unlicensed NES game. Now I have reviewed unlicensed games, and pirated games before, and most of them are total crap, as for Kart Fighter, its actually a fun and cool game.

Some of the background sprites are based off other games. One of the games is Little Nemo for the NES, and Mario & Wario for the SNES. Which I find to be actually pretty cool. I mean yes Little Nemo has nothing to do with Mario, but its cool that the backgrounds were used.

Now I guess you can say Kart Fighter is like a poor man's version of Super Smash Bros. Now of course this game is on the NES, way before the Nintendo 64, but do you think maybe Nintendo played this and got a idea? I mean Nintendo characters fighting in a game, this could be the grandfather of Super Smash Bros….then again probably not.

The characters in Kart Fighter consist of Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong Junior, Koopa Troopa and Toad. Although if you look at some of the characters, the names are wrong. For instance Yoshi is Yossy, and Mario is Mari, I don't really care for that.

The graphics for Kart Fighter, are ok, I mean a fighting game like this on the NES, you don't see very often, and the sprites of the characters kind of look weird when fighting, but other then that, it doesn't look that bad.

The music and sound for Kart Fighter are ok. The music can get annoying after a while, but it isn't as bad as games I have played in the past, especially pirated/unlicensed games. As for the sound effects, they aren't bad either.

The controls are ok, the good thing is, they are actually responsive, but sometimes can be slow, other then that, they aren't bad.

If I had to rate Kart Fighter, I would give it a 7/10. The game is actually a fun pirated game. I actually enjoy playing it. Although the game is a little on the tough side, and sometimes I swear the game cheats, it is still a cool game.
