It can be tough to review a game from 1996 in the year 2020. Obviously since this game's release it's been iterated on and imrpoved upon in ways that leave it in the dust but the thing is... this was the real blueprint for those iterations. Mario Kart SNES is an interesting proof of concept but a pain to play. To this day this game holds it's own in terms of playability, game feel and overall fun. It holds up! There's a reason everybody from your friend Daryll to the Church Youthgroup room had a copy of this game. It was universally accessible, understandable and fun! A classic in the genre and probably one of the most important video games ever made.
