Mario Kart is the first kart racing game that spawned all the other games, but in my opinion it is still the best.

Super Circuit has more in common with the SNES version when it comes to the control scheme and level layouts. They are very easy to use and makes controlling your kart a breeze. A new feature to the Mario Kart series is the collecting coins spread out around the race track, which increases your total speed. So going out of your way to grab a few extra coins might be useful towards the end of the race, adding a new level of strategy to this already great formula.

The graphics are great for a handheld; it uses rotation technology similar to the SNES to create strikingly 3D appearance. It looks a lot better than the Super Nintendo one with the great character images and fluid animations. This has to be one of the best looking handheld games I've ever seen.

There are a lot of levels in this game, since it includes over 20 original tracks. You can even unlock the ones from the SNES version, bringing the total to around 40 race tracks.

For multiplayer, you can play the race mode with only one game pak, however the levels available in this selection are extremely limited. If your friends also have the game though, you can race in any levels you have unlocked, plus you can face off in the entertaining battle mode.

This is easily one of the best GBA games released so far, and will remain a classic for a long time to come. If you are looking for a great handheld racing game, you've found it.
