I thought the weapons were cool, I remember using the missiles, it was very cool. The racing was cool, come on!

The racing was fine, but those games main draws for me were the 3-4 player battle modes... which is where the Crash game failed at pretty badly.

The Block and 2 level 64 modes were good.  Though the Donut and Skyscraper modes also failed pretty bad.

MK64 is so awesome. I still play it every once in a while.

But have you played CTR?  If not, go look at my link a few posts up. Seriously, I thought it was the superior game, and as for not liking Battle mode, maybe it's a matter of taste.  It had good levels and the weapons may be supeior to MK, so I vote CTR = win over MK.

MK64 still provides me with enjoyment, and is pretty much the only multiplayer game me and relos play to this day, even now that new games are out.. unfortunately i haven't played CTR so i can't give a fair call on which was better.. but if people still boot up CTR today, then they have both done their job well

I've played CTR a few times and to me it wasn't as good as MK. I like MK 64 better, it was one of my first VC games! No I had it way before that though, I own the cartridge game also.

 That's the problem though.  The weapons were better "well some of them."  The missles made things waaay to easy.  In Mario Kart 64 even the Red Shells weren't perfect kills. 

Among talented Mario Kart players the Battlemode could go on forever as you have to catch your opponent in the right position.  It was like a dog fight or something.

 I remember that i rented it. I liked it, but I was a little kid at the time and I loved anything with Mario in it.

The missiles were good, but were not instant.  And come on, the red shells were just as good.  The only way to stop them was to run into an obstacle or hit into a sharp turn, and we both know it was relatively easy to get a good shot in.  As for the other weapons, you had a bubble shield that was good, like Sonic's shield in the Genesis game.  Also, you remeber the black bomb, the one with a synonymous action as the green shell, this = not an easy kill.  With two good people, those battle could be long too.  I would still give you that Mario batlle might be better, because I think they're bascially even, but the game overall ( CTR ) is better imo.
