As in previous installments, the battle arenas are enclosed, with varying architecture and a constant arsenal.

The game allows up to four players to compete in battle modes and two players in grand prix mode. The powerslide technique has been improved if the player manages to get blue sparks, a mini-turbo is performed. Players can also steal items from the opponents. It is the first game in the series where players drop their items when hit by a weapon. Players cannot hold items behind the kart, making it more difficult to block incoming shells. Instead of having one player per kart, there are two: one to drive, and one to use items. 'Double Dash's gameplay is slightly different from other Mario Kart games. Once you get the 3rd player, there are no longer any computers in the race, just the 3 humans, and this holds true for 4 human players as well.Ī section of text from Mario Kart: Double Dash's wikipedia page: My only complaint about this game is if you have 3 or 4 players and want to race each other. It is best for you to mix and match characters so you can get two special moves, depending on who is sitting in the back seat. Mario and Luigi, Toad and Toadette, Wario and Waluigi etc.these duos share the same special item that you can get with more frequency when you are behind. In addition, if you mix a light with a medium, you can only choose medium cars. The characters weight you choose determines your cars. Cars are divided by weight (as are characters). This allows you to potentially hold items with both of your characters, and can easily switch driver with item thrower by pressing Z, or by using the item your back seat person is holding and if your front seat is holding one, they will automatically switch.

In double dash, you ride two people per car. Every time you play a grand prix, there is always one CPU team that is 'the team to beat' This one duo is pretty much going to be your only competition at all except for a few tracks on 150cc another duo could give you some issues. As a result your boosts are less powerful, same with power sliding. In the lower difficulties, the cars also operate slower, so the game does that feel so fast paced. In mirror the tracks are flipped (MIND GAMES). Like previous Mario Kart games, the difficulties are 50cc, 100cc, 150cc and then Mirror 150cc. I'm just going to focus on the grand prix mode, in this description because you will probably spend 90% of your time on the game playing grand prix if you are anything like me.ĭouble Dash features 16 tracks, split into 4 cups, and then the always fun all cup. One of the greatest racing games ever, if you are looking for one that isn't realistic that is.
