#12 Mario Kart Double Dash!!
The best deal in gaming history. A Gamecube with Mario Kart Double Dash!! packed in as well as a Zelda collectors edition for 120 dollars, new directly from the retailer. Looking back in the mirror this deal was just stupidly good. Me and two of my brothers bought it and to this day, when all brothers meet up with our little sister (the nerdiest of us all) we play Mario Kart Double Dash!!. The kart racing premiered technical ability a lot more than most of the games in the franchises making it possible to avoid not only red shells but blue shells as well.
The two best battle modes of the franchise are both exclusively present in Double Dash, Bob omb battle and shine thief. Both featuring modes that in theory can be played for infinity while all bad copies of these modes have a timer. I would so much want to trade this game for a modern Mario Kart with online capabilities, but no other Mario Kart has touched the same level of fun for me as hitting the current shine owner with a shell 1 second from game ending. Almost the best thing one could multiplay on gamecube. Almost.
