The weirder of the kart racing games on the N64. Doesn't feel quite as responsive as Mario Kart to play, although has a lot more variety between the story mode, minigames, and hovercraft + airplane races. Opponents also don't seem to rubberband as aggressively as in MK although this may simply be that I was never far enough ahead for it to happen.

I used to play this on my computer when I was a receptionist at a museum. This game has more in common with Crash Team Racing than it does mario kart, but this game has Tiptup in it which makes it better than both.

It's not that special of a racing game to me!

so much fun. single player challenges are hard but so much fun.

You can play as Banjo 🪕💕
