Overview

A 64-bit follow-up to the wildly successful SNES game, Mario Kart 64 is racing fun for up to four players. Race as Mario, or as one of his seven friends, through a variety of exciting and colorful courses, while collecting items and dodging the attacks of fellow racers. Multi-player is just as thrilling with challenging versus matches, or the popular battle arena. An instant Nintendo classic!
