Lol, just 10 seconds ago I saw a commercial on Eurosport featuring the Mario Kart Double Dash! intro-tune. Immediately recognizable. You saw a bunch of bikes crashing .

Wait whut? There are only Bikes in MKWii. Regardless I'm surprised they'd even have a Mario Kart commercial seeing as the last installment was over a year ago.

No it wasn't an advertisement for Mario Kart .

Just some program of their's about bikes, real bikes. Crashing. The commercial had the Mario Kart Double Dash! intro-music dubbed over it.

Oh, that makes more sense lolz.

Got anything to add to the topic of discussion by any chance? =) 

People actually liked Double Dash? I think it is the worst of all the console Mario Karts.

I actually kind of liked the two driver mechanic, but I hated the way the karts drove and the tracks didn't do anything to redeem the game from that basic problem.

Not really, it's got recognizable music at least I guess, so that's good .

Double Dash is my second to least (however you call that) favorite of the series. I also never got the point of the two characters. It doesn't seem like it adds anything that couldn't be done with just a traditional single character. I guess everything's been said already anyways. But it's about the courses though mostly, the order of which MK is better I mean, everything else is trivial and in that regard DD just isn't that memorable either. It's a good and fun game sure, played it a ton too, all Mario Karts are. However, it just isn't Wii, 7 or 64. Only Super Circuit on GBA is worse, which is the only one I genuinly had no fondness for whatsoever. With two of the worst MK's, my least favorite Zelda's and a mediocre 3D Mario I can say the whole of the 6th gen kind of s*cked in my eyes.

What did you find wrong with the driving? That's one of the most praised about things in the game, and Mario Karts in general really. Perhaps you just didn't give yourself enough time to get use to the controls n stuff?

@S.Peelman:

Whaaa!? Wind Waker n SMS were awesome! Despite looking different, they retained the same core gameplay their respective series are known for, but eh, I guess I have to remind myself that not everyone has to like a game no matter how awesome it is. 

Double dash was the last great Mario Kart for me. I spent so many hours playing it at uni. The 2 driver mechanic really worked a treat letting you strategize a bit. But it also had fantastic multiplayer that was skill based. Later Mario karts became a lot more luck based. Especially the abomination that was Mario kart Wii. Mario Kart DS was also a lot of fun but Mario Kart 7 just feels really by the numbers. But with how rushed it was to stop the 3DS tanking I guess that was to be expected. Here's hoping the inevitable Mario Kart U comes back to form. Though Nintendo... 60fps is a must, even in split screen! This is a big part of where Mario Kart Wii faltered. Along with being a lot more luck and less skill based, it just didn't feel as tight in split screen.

Whut? MK7 is definitely more skill based! Just look at the item selections! MKWii was immensely luck based this much is true, what with it having the most busted items and 12 Karts. A brilliant idea that was! (Though I still had a great time with the game.)

I unlocked everything or just about everything in the game, so I doubt it is the amount of time I played.

Compared to Super Mario Kart, Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, and now Mario Kart Wii, I thought the driving seemed...sloppy.  I can't think of another way to describe it.  My two favorite racing games are MKWii and Diddy Kong Racing, by the way.
