      Yeah… Seeing this as a retro game hurts. Also, I can’t remember if winning this cup as Yoshi is a noteworthy accomplishment or not.

        It isn’t about the character you choose to use for the race. I’d be more concerned about the 50cc part. Although, now that you mention it, it seems like using bigger characters (Bowser, etc) made the car move slower.

          Bigger characters had a lower top speed, but could maintain speed while turning better. They could also bump lighter characters and spin them out.

            My recollection was big characters had a higher top speed, but slow acceleration. Small characters were the opposite. Medium characters didn’t excel or suck at either.

        It is not the game is very easy. Yoshi is also one of the best characters (there’s a total of 3 characters, light, medium and heavy).

      Want to feel older? Since the N64, we’ve had the GameCube, Wii, Wii U and Switch. The latter of which has been out for 7 years already and is probably going to be replaced soon.

          But… like imagine the worth of our stories in 50 years. Well have essentially seen the entire evolution of gaming, from the beginning of digital gaming, personally experiencing it.

    Excellent work, my favourite Mario Kart due to countless, countless hours spent playing at uni.

    Need to set that bad boy to 4:3 not 16:9 for the aspect ratio to be correct though!

    i was looking forward to playing this on iphone with Delta but the Analog joystick is mostly digital and sucks for turns.
