The weirder of the kart racing games on the N64. Doesn't feel quite as responsive as Mario Kart to play, although has a lot more variety between the story mode, minigames, and hovercraft + airplane races. Opponents also don't seem to rubberband as aggressively as in MK although this may simply be that I was never far enough ahead for it to happen.
