I have never played Mario Kart before coming across this game. Having grown up mainly as a PS1 and PS2 kid, I wasn't familiar with the workings of all the Nintendo games and characters. Now, to make up for those lost years, is such a good a time as any.

Even just after my first race, I began to see why people found this series so fun. It's no-frills racing that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The inclusion of two characters in one kart is such a genius touch I've seen in other games (like Cartoon Network Racing) but never implemented to this effect. You can switch between your two characters anytime, and even choose whether to throw your items either in front of or behind you. I really love the variety!

This is definitely one of the most fun racing experiences I've had and now I'm excited to see how future racing games I play will hold up to Double Dash, if they get to do so at all.
