good Mario Kart clones?

s2325 · 17 September 2008, 13:03

- Tooncar Racing (PC)
- Rascal Racer (PSX)
- Smurf Racer (PSX)
- Lego Racers (N64, PC), I don't like Lego Racers 2
- Konami Krazy Racers (GBA)
- Bump'n'Burn (Amiga)
any more?

The N64 had a nice Mario Kart clone :

- Diddy Kong Racing

I remember another clone for the PC, but I don't get the name right now...

I guess you could add Street Racer (Amiga)

s2325 · 17 September 2008, 13:45

I know this game from SNES or Megadrive. It's average for me.

Atari Karts (Jaguar)
Merlin Racing (Nuon)

Atari Karts is ultra smooth but with very short and flat tracks. I don't know any Nuon emulator. Diddy Kong Racing is excellent but it's just Mario Kart 64 with new tracks and characters.

Nuance is the only one I know of. Unfortunately the author Mike Perry, known in the NUON scene as “Riff”, died just over a year ago.

It supports Merlin Racing. You need a quite powerful PC to get close to full frame rate.

Yeah, but isn't that what a clone is all about?

You forget that there are also new vehicles

Most of the Mario Kart games are pretty much the same. However it would be nice to see a clone with some new features

thank you

Damn, I miss the battles in MK64. They're just brilliant

Dizzy · 17 September 2008, 15:48

oh yeah most n64 games ended with 64

I like the Mario Kart Double Dash on Gamecube

I'd been searching for this little Mario Kart gem for aeons..Then one day down the local market lo and behold the complete game boxed as new for only £3!

That game is awful! My mate had it and we played it all of 5 times before switching it off.

BAD!

Bump 'n' Burn was planned also for PC, it's article from coverdisk from polish paper magazine Secret Service (1995):

Whacky Wheels (PC)

Street Racer is good. But you should really play the Sega Saturn version. Best of all variants.
