This and Super Mario Kart suck.

It's a little baffling that we got near perfect 3D Mario Kart in 1996 then 5 years later they release this decrepit mess.

Double Dash is the first good mario kart

what's the best retro handheld kart racer?

No, I don’t really see what’s confusing about that. Are you also confused about why the GBA F Zero games aren’t as good as X?

F-Zero Maximum Velocity and GP Legend

>>11808601
No, because F-zero was good as a 2D game. Mario Kart was not. Who was hyped for Super Circuit after playing Mario Kart 64 for the past 5 years.

>>11808601
F Zero isn’t a kart racer. The real answer is Walt Disney World Quest on GBC.

Nah, SC is fucking great. You just suck at it.

super circuit is a million times better than the shitendo one

>>11808590 (OP)
Everyone enjoyed it at the time. Unlocking all the SNES tracks was a monster bonus.

64 easily has the worst physics in the series.

I put a bunch of hours into this when I got it.
If you keep trying to play it like the 3D karts you'll never get any better.

I could never wrap my head around circuit's drift mechanic. it's so natural to cut corners in the snes version but I constantly find myself turning of the track in sc, seems unintuitively wide.

I swear, N64 nerds have the worst taste in everything.

64 is nowhere close to perfect, are you insane?

It was still kind of a novelty to play snes level games portably back then on a gba/gbc. Super Circuit kinda rides in on that. There wasn't any expectation on the gba to have 3d anything. Certainly nobody was expecting parity with 64.

>>11808784
You're probably starting your drift too late. There's literally no track in the game that you couldn't drive around flat out, even at 150cc.

>>11808590 (OP)
Everyone knew GBA was ass. They were releasing downgraded ports of SNES games on it, anon.

>>11808604
what about climax?

I can recall that I didn't want to buy GP Legend as a kid because I didn't like Super Circuit very much.
