#15: Mario Kart 64 (1997)
Last Year: 14
Mario Kart 64 remains one of the greatest (if not the greatest) multiplayer games I've ever played. This was hours of sheer fun with friends in a plastic cartridge. Whether it was Versus mode or Battle mode... the game was always able to put a smile on our faces through it's simple, accessable gameplay. The game also contains some of the most memorable stages, including Bowser's Castle, Wario's Stadium, DK's Jungle Parkway, Yoshi's Valley, and Peach's Royal Raceway (I loved exploring the castle...). Battle mode was full of smiles and laughs as well... and it was one of the few games where coming in last wasn't a bad thing, as it was a blast (pun intended) to hunt others down when you turned into the Bob-omb racer. All in all, Mario Kart 64 is home to a plethora of happy times and wonderful memories. Good times indeed...
