Well, I enjoyed Double Dash so much as a kid. I just loved the new tracks and jazzy tunes that Mario Kart 64 didn't have. I am one of those who believes that Mario Kart 64 isn't the best Mario Kart although it was great. What I really loved about Double Dash was the double character idea, the specials that have just recently gone missing, the ability to dodge red shells and Spiny shells just by drifting fast enough, and it was just overall a solid game.

The character roster was a huge improvement for the time and something about Mario Kart 7 that troubles me is that Waluwigi has a stage but not a character choice... that's too weird. I still love MK7 but it wasn't as innovative as Double Dash, TO A CERTAIN DEGREE. I know the second screen is great, the para-glider was fantastic, but the item choice was kind of lacking and some physics are just waaaay off. For instance, driving into the grass causes almost immediate slowdown unless you have your "off road" on the max level. I hope they bring back the double kart and specials in the Wii U Mario Kart, which I hope will be named Mario Kart Ultra. That'd be a sweet and fitting name.
