Multi-player is just as thrilling with challenging versus matches, or the popular battle arena. Race as Mario, or as one of his seven friends, through a variety of exciting and colorful courses, while collecting items and dodging the attacks of fellow racers. Outside of the attacks, there will be a variety of weapons to pick up after spawning within the game.A 64-bit follow-up to the wildly successful SNES game, Mario Kart 64 is racing fun for up to four players. Players will still be fighting against other opponents with the character’s standard move set and the special unique attack, which is attached to the character’s franchise. However, much of the gameplay remains the same with the later installments. lineup, the franchise may seem a bit scarce, but developers did make sure to represent a number of some of the biggest fan favorite characters along with a few hidden characters to unlock as you progress through the game. Now looking at today’s latest installments to the Super Smash Bros. The game featured a crossover between several Nintendo IPs such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Star Fox, Metroid, Yoshi, Kirby, and Pokemon. This was the fighting game to own on the Nintendo 64 as we got to see our favorite Nintendo characters at the time duke it out. I still remember the commercials and hype building up to the release of Super Smash Bros. If you’re not interested in racing, there is a battle mode that players can duke it out simply by using the various weapon bonuses scattered about the maps. Likewise, it can be anyone’s game during a match as players behind will often get the better bonuses that could completely wreck the first place’s chances of winning the race. Racetracks are filled with bonuses in the form of weapons to use against your opponents or a means to help boost you ahead of the competition. Each character offers a slight stats difference such as Toad who may be a bit quick to hit top speeds or Bowser being big enough to ram into the smaller characters causing them to wreck. Within the game, players can opt to go against AI opponents or a mixture of friends and AI opponents. This was one of the pinnacle racing titles to own on the Nintendo 64 as Mario and his friend’s race against one another in colorful and exciting tracks. There are a few kart racers that launched on the Nintendo 64, but none ended friendships quite as fast as Mario Kart 64. Like most of these video games on this list, Nintendo has released the game for current platforms such as the Nintendo 3DS.

Though some would consider The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time being the better overall title, The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is still one game not to pass up. Link is tasked with stopping Skull Kid by constantly reversing time and completing tasks before the moon is able to crash down into the land, essentially destroying the world. Taking more of a dark narrative, players will still take on the role of Link but this time around the narrative follows Skull Kid who has stolen Majora’s Mask, a powerful artifact, and with it, Skull Kid is able to command the moon to crash into the land. The Legend of Zelda: Major’s Mask launched following the success of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. The game acts as a platforming action-adventure title as gamers will have to fight off enemies or collect a wide assortment of items scattered about in the game world. Within the game, players find themselves having to stop Gruntilda, an evil witch who has abducted Banjo’s younger sister Tooty in order to steal her youth and beauty. This critical and commercial success offered gamers a colorful and age-appropriate world to explore as a male brown honey bear named Banjo with his trusty sidekick, a female red-crested Breegull named Kazooie. This is a platform video game title that launched in 1998 and the first to introduce players to the Banjo-Kazooie series. There are still developers releasing video games to this day in hopes to gain the charm that Rare received with Banjo-Kazooie.
