The second follow-up was Mario Kart Super Circuit, released four years after the first sequel for Game Boy Advance. Mario Kart 64 was released in 1997 for Nintendo 64. The popular game was followed by several releases and most of them were hits and successes. The graphics are great and were considered “detailed” by the Nintendo Magazine System and also as “spectacular” considering the period when the game was released. The characters have their own skills, top speed, acceleration and handling. The eight characters of the game are Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi, Bowser, Donkey Kong Jr., Koopa Troopa and Toad. In this one the player can defeat rivals with power-ups or destroying balloons. Battle Mode is another option for multiplayer.
There is also a multi-player mode where players race against each other one-on-one. Players can also race against the clock in a Time Trial mode. The gameplay offers speed and offensive boosting power-ups which the player can use to take advantage of.
