This Thanksgiving break my siblings and I rediscovered the joy of Super Mario Kart for the SNES. While the graphics and level geometry are basic, the core gameplay is still very solid and holds up very well in this day and age. The battle mode in particular was surprisingly competitive and engaging, red shells have to be aimed to properly hit drivers as they can be easily dodged with enough skill, and there are systems in place to prevent all sorts of exploits that I had hoped to take advantage of. My brother and I in particular have really gotten into the competitive spirit, and our duels on Battle Course 3 are nail biting and worthy of epic poems. I personally always noticed amongst my family and friends that Toad / Koopa are the dominant character choices, and I was curious if that was a global trend. To review the different traits of the different driver types: [b]Mario / Luigi:[/b] 1) Medium Acceleration 2) Medium Top Speed 3) Medium Weight 4) Medium Handling [b]Peach / Yoshi:[/b] 1) High Acceleration 2) Low Top Speed 3) Medium Weight 4) Medium Handling [b]Bowser / Donkey Kong Junior:[/b] 1) Low Acceleration 2) High Top Speed 3) High Weight 4) Low Handling [b]Koopa Troopa / Toad:[/b] 1) Medium Acceleration 2) Medium Top Speed 3) Low Weight 4) High Handling What characters do you guys prefer?
