---Please rate my review below. I will update it again if more people like my review. Thank you!---
The new installment in the Mario Kart series has really lived up to its expectations. The game play and the item using feature has remained the same, which is excellent. The backrounds are very detailed and the graphics are excellent! There are 4 cups with four levels each for Grand Prix. The newest feature in the game is the "two people in one kart" feature. You have one person driving and one person at shotgun. This feature makes the game look a lot different from the other Mario Kart games. You select two characters and depending on how much they weigh, etc., you get to pick certain karts. There is a huge selection of characters in this game, about 16 (18 if you unlock the secret characters). By beating the different cups at different levels (50cc, 100cc, 150cc), you can unlock secret characters, karts, battle levels, and cups.
All of the Mario Kart games have had excellent multi-player options. In Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, there are new battle options like "Shine Thief" and "Bomb-omb Blast", which are just as good as the classic "Balloon Battle". There is also a LAN option which ables you to connect two to four Gamecubes for 1-16 player madness! There are four battle levels, which I admit weren't worked on that much. You can also unlock two other battle levels, which are way better.
Here's my over-all review:
Graphics: 5/5
The graphics are very colorful and the backrounds in levels are immensely detailed. This game clearly deserves a 5/5 in graphics.
Sound: 4.5/5
The sound is great, including sounds from previous Mario Kart games. I was disappointed in the soundtracks, they were way to "kiddish". Despite this, the game itself is still excellent.
Control: 5/5
The controls are very responsive, just like previous Mario Kart games.
Presentation: 5/5
When you fire up the game, you hear Mario shout "Niiiin-tendo! Wahoo!" so on, so forth. If you are patient enough to watch the intro, it displays the game in action. The menu back rounds are detailed, which is not a big deal at all. Overall, the presentation is great.
Value: 4/5
This is a short game. It mainly challenges you with the different levels of speed, which proves to be very hard. I would still get this game for the battle options. This game is great to play with friends.
Fun Factor: 5/5
Mario Kart: Double Dash!! is a very fun game, end of story.
Overall: 5/5
The Mario Kart series has always proven to be a crowd favorite. As I have said, this game has lived up to its expectations. This game is the most addictive and funnest game made in 2003 (And 2004, 2005, 2006.....). If you are an adult or kid, the experience will always be the same. So if you're not paying bills, doing homework, or anything you do on a daily basis, go to the store (Not the local Blockbuster) and buy this game, it will lighten up your day and days to come.
