GameSpot Mario Kart Tournament for the Ages Round 4

This tournament was fantastic, just watched Tom McShea completely obliterate all competitors in his "self-proclaimed" favourite game of all-times. :P This certainly reminds me of the UFC 2009 Undisputed Tournament the site had, a couple years ago. Gamespot needs such tournaments more often! Monthly, perhaps? :D

The lack of recognition and aknowledgement of this game is something i'll never understand. It was earth-shattering when it came out with true 3d courses and incredible split screen head to head racing. It should be legendary in the world of gaming. It also stands the test of time and is still an absolute joy to play with excellent controls. If they release this as a downloadable game with online play for the wii U it could be a console seller, the best game of the next gen! :) BRING BACK SUPER MARIO KART!!

Loved it! Do another sometime and BRING BACK BUTTON MASHING!!!

You can tell the guy who play Toad on Rainbow Road is new to Super Mario Kart, if only he knew that you can also leave a green koopa shell behind to surprise rival on the rear.

Seriously, did they just randomly choose people off of the street who never played it on the SNES? No boost starts? No tricks using items? Anybody who misses the feather trick on the first ghost track, then misuses the mushroom on the same track is a terrible tragedy.

It looked like whoever was controlling koopa threw the bowser level race to make sure that there were 3 races....i've never seen anybody hit so many obstacles on one level lol .... hmmm...

what was with the second track? they were hitting the walls every few seconds; is the game really that hard to play?

Congratulations Tom, that was an awesome victory..

I enjoy the CBS logos on the jackets ;) I thought I saw a penguin on that snow track, but it turned out to be nothing :) very amusing, gang :)

are there only two characters in the game or what?!

emulation? *sigh* blasphemers

i played better than these two when i was a baby

lols i still have the snes and this game in my closet, how much is it worth?

These guys play like crap.

another emulation -.- use the original game on the original console with original controllers.....

doesnt look like the first two ever played this version before. the power slide definitely started with snes version

Used to play this after school when I was a kid... one of my New Years resolutions is to buy a SNES and this game for old times sake.

I almost want to play SMK with this McShea guy *sips coffee*

Best Mario Kart by a country mile and one of the finest and most competitive head to head experiences ever made. Why there isn't an online version of this game defies logic. Some seriously bad gaming going on here, this game requires skill which is why Nintendo dumbed it down to appeal to the masses. Requires skill but is supremely playable when mastered.

Tom, if you're such an old school player, where's the boost start? Disappointing.

ha ha nice job tom, though not much of a surprise.

Glad to see at least one of the team still has some old school skillz :)

This is great and awesome to play this great classic game and this is good tourmanent So happy new year

!HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYONE!

Tom McShea has no competetion! Everyone, back to your desks! XD Haha, this was pretty interesting.

so these guys are invited for a mario kart challenge and they play like this!? they sucked... just hitting the walls and fogeting to use the items...

Meh... This game was good back in the golden days of the SNES... Now it just looks awkward and it really fails to entertain... It's really a shame that people don't want to play the much better racing games of our days and instead go back and toy around with the gummy corpses of what USED TO BE great games...

@ozzyRENFREW It's the CBS logo.

What is it with the illuminati eye on the jackets???????????

BTW, I would love to challenge McShea! Too bad I'm on the east coast, I used to be quite the Mario Kart champ!

God I loved this game so much as a good, seeing Van take himself out with the green turtle shell made me bust out laughing, good memories!

The oil slicks are decayed corpses of penguins.

Actually, check that, Mcshea would give me a challenge.

I love this game, I could waste all of these guys.

I can't believe he didn't use the feather.

The Koopa guy is too much for the others.

the hosts were actually pretty entertaining

mcshea is the only one good

so whens this coming out cant wait to get my hands on it

Can't wait for a Super Smash Bros. Tournament of the Ages!

rainbow road!

Good that they saved SMK for last. That one REALLY sorts out the proper racers. 007 Deathmatch Tournament for the Ages up next! End it with TWINE and GE!

This is all the gaming news we have right now? For shame.
