Can you still time the jump right for the short cut on the level where it is like a floorboard road with drops on both sides.....something Castle i think

I am the un-crowned king of the world at that game, including completing special cup small

A bold statement I know, but its true me and my mates still play for hours now and then, and its been known for the "mario kart challenge" to have money involved, pay each other at every cup and the person with the most points on aggregate takes the lot

Always use Toad...... I can complete ranbow road start to finish without breaking, but if anyone can beat me at the second race on mushrrom cup I will sever one of my testicles with a rusty blade proper sideways on that track

Paul when you have highlighted koopa troopa on select driver screen press A and Y together to shrink them (if you didnt know that already) then have a go

aaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!

sideays from the point you go over the bridge after the start until i get back on the main straight, but on second to last corner i normally hit donkey kong whilst lapping him (usually on 3rd lap) and the fat cunt sends me into the wall and facing the wrong way!

you dont need to buy a snes!

dwnload a program called ZSNES

it's an emulator for the PC, will turn you PC into a SNES

there are LOOOOADS of sites with the games on, theyre called "ROMS"

so do a google for "MARIO KART SNES ROM" and see what you get

you now have mario kart on your PC

i used to be BIG into snes emulation, i got hooked on Zelda3

ture classic!!!! love it. i think some times on time trial need putting up for unoffical challenge.got my snes plug in a few mths back hadnt played it since i was at college,still got the nack. need to get hold of a genuine streetfighter 2 to complete the classic games of when i was at school.ghost valley is wicked on kart. if you have a boost and time the jump right you dont need the feather to clear the gap but you have to be shit hot on the slides to get round the corner onto the straight without going off!

So this is what Franco was moaning about! twat

Mariokart is a fuckin legend of a game! I've spent fucking days of my life playing it on the SNES and also on N64 and gamecube.
Now i'm going to have to dig out my snes and have a rip!

Could easily have a time challenge because im game for that

Me too, we should agree on a track and post our times up, then move on to another track....

the key with time trial is to be Donkey Kong or Bowser as they are quicker, but if you hit anything or go on teh gravel your fooked...

Oh and getting a quick start!
