Mario Kart: Super Circuit

While the game has 40 courses, there is a lot of flaws with the game such as the Battle Mode, which seems identical to Super Mario Kart.

As far as having Mario Kart in your pocket goes, it doesn't get much better than Mario Kart: Super Circuit. The battle mode is pretty flawed but the rest of the game is great.

I got this on Gameboy Advance when it first came out, and back then the graphics were impressive, but as a follow-up to the essential gamer's Mario Kart 64, it was a rather large let-down. It's just not as addictive, fun and immersing as the original and tries too hard to impress with its graphics rather than create a fun experience.

The levels are not the best but the real flaw is in the racing itself -- the controls aren't the easiest to master, the racing karts are all annoying and the characters aren't as unique (in terms of special abilities and so on and so forth) as they are in Mario Kart 64.

I must say this is fun as far as most Advance games go and it's not as bad as that awful Aliens Thanantos Encounters game. But it's still not the best and not nearly as good as the original, which is a classic in my book.
