Today's game is Mario Kart 64. I want to unlock the 200 CC option so i've been playing a bit of this, and plus it's just straight up my favorite Mario Kart. It's basic, and straight to the point of Mario Kart, and the Item Balancing feels great. This is nothing i haven't said before though.

I did Toad's Turnpike though on 150 CC, and came in first. I nearly lost to my Mortal Enemy, Donkey Kong, but managed to pull through after I rammed Donkey Kong into a truck and then he got plowed by Wario with a Super Star.

After the race though, decided to go back in Time Trials and peak around. I discovered the course is partly on a bridge, which i just didn't ever realize. Specifically that green strip up there on the Main Screenshot? That's the bridge and the player starts up there. Even more so i never realized the Toad on the bridge. I guess usually i'm moving too fast to notice these things.

I also did a race on Chocomountain, and the entire race Donkey Kong was stuck on that spot on the mountain. He never moved oddly enough. Serves him right though for what he did in Mario Party 2. The dick.

I won the Cup in first place, which is to be expected. The AI in Mario Kart 64 isn't too hard, and the cheating isnt as bad as Super Mario Kart. Spaghetti Kart has a Harder CPU setting, so i'll have to see if maybe that's something i can handle.

If you'll look closely at my victory though...

Donkey Kong is watching like some sort of Blurry Cryptid photo. Probably plotting his revenge. So if after tonight, news breaks that i was murdered by Donkey Kong (and quite possibly backed by Nintendo due to playing this on PC), don't be surprised.

It's well worth it, especially with all the ways to play it now
