That means that no traditional Mario games made the cut, since there sadly weren’t any unique to the GBA. But I’m purposefully choosing to leave most of them out, unless they had very meaningful changes or playing on the go was a game changer. Ultimately, as I said, I believe 64 to be better because Multiplayer is crucial to the Mario Kart experience, but I PREFER Super Circuit because the general experience has a lot more of note I think.A quick disclaimer! There were so many great Super Nintendo re-releases that I could easily fill a top 10 list with those alone. Super Circuit also definitely has a better soundtrack.Īnd on top of all that, 64 has 16 courses while Super Circuit has 40. Super Circuit has a lot of really interesting courses. Rainbow Road and Bowser Castle sure, plus Kalimari Desert, Yoshi Valley and maybe Banshee Boardwalk, but most other ones are very bland. 64 is much more bland in this department.Īnd on that, 64 really doesn't have that many interesting courses. Honestly, I believe 64 is better purely on the fact that it has the classic Mario Kart multiplayer experience in full swing.īut in terms of gameplay 64 has aged more than people realise, which I still personally think puts it above Super Circuit but I can see how some would consider it worse.Īnd in terms of how it looks and sounds, Super Circuit, despite being a 2D Mario Kart, is much brighter and has some really lovely looking courses. Just something I was thinking about when I used to hear people say mario kart super circuit was by far the worst Especially on rainbow road where they can spin you out and point you towards the edge, which you can’t get out of because you can’t reverse or pivot, so off the edge you go The thwomps… literally anywhere honestly… we’re just not good. In Mario kart super circuit the tracks are all the same but without the annoying obstacles. 1 frame is all you get feels like.Īlso the tracks are literally so terribly designed in super Mario kart. Like the amount of things mksc has that smk doesn’t… in smk you can’t brakedrift you can’t reverse, you can’t pivot, you can’t do a startup boost when lakitu drops you, you can’t trail items, you can’t even collect the same item box twice.Īlso super Mario kart’s rocket boost is like frame perfect for literally no reason. Like if you play mario kart super circuit for a long while and then switch to super mario kart, it will feel like you’re playing a game made by preschoolers.
