I got up a bit late today since it was Sunday and did something I didn't think was possible: I wanted to use my Wii. Unfortunately, my only good game, Super Smash Brothers: Brawl, was missing, but I had something even better, GameCube controllers, my brother, and Mario Kart: Double Dash. Before I played FPS games, I played Pokémon games, and before that, GameCube games. The amount of time I put into Double Dash was only rivaled to Super Smash Brothers: Melee, but that was somewhere in the catacombs of my storage room.
Double Dash, (Which I will now refer to as MKDD) is one of the games in the Mario Kart franchise, it features the idea of a two-tiered driving system, one controlling the car, the other one handling power ups, and helping to drift. My brother and I used to come home from school, and race for hours, this is one of the reasons I wanted to be a race car driver when I grew up until I was in 6th grade. MKDD has characters like Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Waluigi, Baby Mario, and more. The game became famous for its antics and its power-ups, from a mushroom that would make you go faster, to a blue shell, which targeted the first place driver and blew them up into the air. With MKDD, you got your fix for racing in a less serious tone. Where else can you be a giant monkey with a baby on the back of a go-kart, racing around a mountain? If you get the chance to play a classic GameCube game, keep this in your top list of choices, this is one I’ll keep with me for awhile.
