#27. Mario Kart 64 (N64, VC)
Mario Kart 64 is the basis all other Mario Kart games that were made afterwards. It changed the way you drove your kart quite a bit and also introduced the mini-boost mechanic. I've gotten so used to this way of driving in Mario Kart that I can't go back to the original game on SNES. The courses were well designed and I made sure I got the gold trophies in all of the cup. But the mode that I enjoyed the most in Mario Kart 64 was the Battle Mode. The maps are simple but tons of fun, the abondance of stars helped counter-balance red shells. Nothing was more satisfying than driving towards someone who thinks he's so smart with his red shell only to activate a star at the last second and ram his sorry ass. Stealing balloons with mushrooms was also wonderful to pull off.
