Humble beginnings for sure. I definitely respect this game much more than I enjoyed it. Have to give it props for starting probably the most popular kart racer series in gaming, but this ain't it! It may just be my own skill level to a degree, but this game controls like absolute shit. I think the levels themselves are also pretty bland, at least compared to what would come later. Also, the AI in this game literally cheats in order to make you not come in first place. I'm not kidding, look up a video on YouTube. Still recommend just experiencing this if you're into the history of gaming or this franchise at all.
