Pretty much an improvement over the original SNES game in almost every way. The sense of speed is insane due to the fact that this is one of the very few N64 games that runs at 60 FPS in 3D, and honestly playing this right after any other N64 game you can REALLY feel the difference. The multiplayer is fun and there's even a secret "X" cup that procedurally generates new tracks to race on so the game never really gets stale. The soundtrack isn't really to my personal taste though...
