Mario Kart 64 – Cane and Rinse No.298

Cane and Rinse rejoins the race in 1996, as we review Mario Kart 64 - a wildly divisive entry in a much-loved but polarising series. Leon, Darren, Leah and Michiel discuss the transition from Mode 7 to polygons as well as many other significant (including some still controversial) alterations to mechanics and handling Nintendo made for this, their first kart sequel. As usual we also hear of the community's love and hate for Mario Kart 64 when we collectively reminisce about fun and fury filled days and nights of blue shell shenanigans on the Nintendo 64 in the mid-late 90s, and beyond.
