Mk64 is also a very important game but I think to me dkr edges it out because of the vehicles, multiplayer options, and the story element. Man, I forgot about my Icicle Pyramid days. It's too bad OptOut's family can't figure out how to play DKR because it has some great multiplayer too. Although MK64 block fort is probably my favorite multiplayer map out of any of my options between the two games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange | 1,701 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 If I’m together with a group of friends, they don’t care about all the extra fuzz of DKR. They just want a quick pick up and play experience. That’s what Mario Kart (and other Mario sports games) has always been best at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this hit on th head of my reasoning for choosing MK64 over DKR. Even if the AI screws me, it's just so easy to pick up and play. Its definitely more of a party game which is Nintendo's specialty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainly because I guessed that it would be behind in the poll and I think this poll really DESERVES to be 50/50, I'm THAT split on the choice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickman | 4,014 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Tough choice but I ultimately went with DKR. The story element was fun and the boss battles added an extra challenge. I felt the tracks were generally a lot more interesting overall as well, not that MK64 didn’t have its standouts too. Multiplayer I think they both had their strengths and I loved them both equally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fcgamer | 4,753 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Mario Kart 64 is amazing. My brother and I loved everything about it from the start, and we hadn't even played the SNES version. A few years after getting it, we got DKR, as we thought it would be fun. The only problem was, well, it wasn't. We tried for days, months, even a few years to get into the game, but we just couldn't. We'd play for hours on end, but then we'd later go and play Mario Kart 64, as we just didn't feel satisfied with DKR. Terrible game, and one of the few that I literally threw in the garbage. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying DKR isn't a good game, I just couldn't get into it. I tried as a kid. I tried on the DS. I tried when I bought a copy for the N64. I didn't want a platformer disguised as a kart racer (or vice versa.) I can see the appeal for many, but to me the experience was 100% about beating times, racing bots and battling friends. I just didn't care about that extra fluff that was required to unlock levels. this is where I'm at. I found a DS copy at a yard sale last year and was excited to finally give it a go. But all the stupid stuff you had to do to just..... play another race? Ugh. Not what I wanted out of a kart racer at all. Played an hour or so and sold it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, although both of my copies (N64 and DS) are still on my shelf because I can't bring myself to sell a classic, even if it wasn't for me. Ha ha. I do think I could enjoy this game, though. I just have to restart it and tell myself "it's not a cart racer. It's a platformer with vehicles". That might help me get into it. But, that's not really a high priority above many other games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're completely ignoring the context of the conversation. Dude doesn't wanna have to play the Adventure Mode, and there's a way around having to do so. He personally doesn't like that aspect of the game (a key aspect, and a major selling point for most people who like the game). He's the niche, but he's still accounted for. You sound like the guy that doesn't wanna play Goldeneye multiplayer with Big Heads on cuz it's "Not the way it was intended to be played".

I didn't waste my cash on it, my brother did, and I could hear him getting pissed off at it as much if not more than enjoying it, especially just on some of the course designs, the mechanics of the non-carts, and really that coin challenge more than ever. I found the game not fun in the same way, I tried it, a few times, last time maybe a decade back at most when I found one second hand, and it still does nothing but borderline annoy and bore me. MK64 all the way. Sometimes LESS is MORE. Added vehicles, added dopey modes, and extreme this and that took DKR down a bad road. Hell it took MK into the start of being shit too with the Wii release...ugh. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
