    Like almost every other home made first party release for the GameCube with a few exceptions, MKDD feels like the same old thing with updated graphics and a few new innovations that unfortunately come up short.

    And once you learn to handle swapping positions at the tap of a button, you'll realize that beneath the cuddly, kiddie veneer lurks a fiercely competitive game that's all about spanking the baby powder off your opponents.

    Mario Kart isn't a racing game any more. It is a party game, and anyone buying it for anything more than frantic, foolish, social fun will grow tired of being cheated very quickly indeed. [Christmas 2003, p.98]

    Solo mode is fun, but playing with others makes this game more fun! I like the whole idea of special items and 2 people of a kart! The tracksSolo mode is fun, but playing with others makes this game more fun! I like the whole idea of special items and 2 people of a kart! The tracks are amazing and there are so many things to unlock, constantly keeping you on your feet. I love how the character rooster was huge and the addition of some new characters such as toad and toadette. A must have for gamecube owners!… Full Review »

    Second best MK Game up-to-date! The graphics are great and a little beyond standards for the Nintendo GameCube. The Character Selection isSecond best MK Game up-to-date! The graphics are great and a little beyond standards for the Nintendo GameCube. The Character Selection is good except I like Mario Kart Wii's a bit better. The 2 character-in-1 Cart is awesome. The kart design is great especially the Yoshi one. The tracks are what I love the most about the game. The music/soundtrack is amazing. Mario Kart Double Dash is one of the games I got back to recently and you should DEFINITELY pick it up if you find one for a great deal. And if you hate MKDD, you're BEYOND silly as JB.… Full Review »
