The "Mario Kart" game for the Nintendo '64 system was easily one of the greatest multiplayer video games ever created for any system. As such, "Double Dash" for the Gamecube had a lot to live up to. Luckily, the game rises to the challenge and perhaps even surpasses the original.
Though the controls and even some of the courses are basically the same as the N64 version, the addition of multiple characters per "kart" is a welcome addition to the franchise. It didn't need much tweaking, but the game changed just enough to keep it from getting stale.
Overall, this is perhaps my favorite multiplayer game for the Nintendo Gamecube, with the possible exception of Super Smash Bros. If you start playing this game with a group of friends, you'll be hard-pressed to stop anytime soon!
