Today's game is Mario Kart 64. I spent all day working on Red Dead 2, but after a crash i decided to kick back with Mario Kart 64. I ran an entire course through the first cup.

I've mentioned this before but this was the Mario Kart me and my sister grew up on. We had it on Wii VC and later the legit Cartridge for N64. I always have chosen Toad because i love his voice. He sounds like a menace to society which makes it fun.

For almost the entire cup i had Yoshi right up my ass. I kept having to use Bananas to spin him out and remove him. Yoshi always seems to be a constant rival in this game for me.

At one point I managed to lose him though by taking a shortcut through the train tunnel Kalimari Desert. I lost the race because it didn't count the lap, but i was happy just to get Yoshi off my back. Luckily the game lets you redo the race if you fail which is unexpected. I never knew it did that.

After redoing the race though i came in first place and got the chance to show Yoshi up. Mario came in third after i watched him shove Luigi out of the way on the final course. Up until that point they seemed to have been neck and neck

Did you know that Nintendo skipped Mario Karts 2 through 63 to get to Mario Kart 64?

It was a bold choice to go back and make the prequels 7 & 8
