There's 3 core memories I have with MK64, Driving around Peach's castle, the battle mode and playing against my brother in Grand Prix.
The game itself was a great time back then but also didn't age too well imo. Doesn't mean it's a bad game by any means but it's hard to go back to if you're used to Mario Kart 8.
Most of the tracks are memorable and it has the best Rainbow Road out of any of the Mario Karts.
The battle mode was also at its peak here, it's hard to explain why though...maybe it was the courses, because they were at their peak. Especially the one with the 4 towers, absolute joy to mess around with.
The one core memory with my brother is this: we always played this (and the snes Mario kart) all the time and he would always win. There was the one time where I was able to win against him....and that was the last time he played any video games with me, lol. I never knew why...just thought he was that butthurt from losing to his 10 year old brother.
Everyone should try this game once, it is a joy to see all these courses.in their original form, and with Nintendo Switch Online, it's entirely possible to play this one with online multiplayer. New age Nintendo fans should should play!
