Nice work Mike.
I Love this and the one from SNES
Love ya dude. Keep it up.
Edit:
Game review request for any old Sierra PC adventure games: But Space Quest, Kings Quest or Police Quest series' would be my personal request.
Another great video. I’ve been a fan of the channel since the Castlevania II review 11 years ago.
I’ve always wanted to see a review of Willow for NES but it’d probably take way too long.
If the snes kart is one of your favorite, chek out Super indie kart on steam. It take indi game hero put them in a kart a la snes style. Its amazing, still in development. Active dev too
Fun fact though, this was developed by Intelligent Systems (same guys who make Paper Mario and Fire Emblem). That's why there's a lot of Paper Mario references in this game.
What kind of references do you talk about?
@@rikilupo99 In Rainbow Road, you can see Bowser's Castle in the sky
This game was a blast for GBA. Felt like a blend between the original and 64.
I mean it pretty much was
A calm review with no yelling, no skits and no smash cuts/filters/ insanity.
What a breath of fresh air. Good jorb.
I am glad you are reviewing this,i feel it is overlooked because more people were into Mario Kart 64 and Double Dash (all great games but this one needs some love)
This is a GBA game
Patrick Hoff He never said it wasn't just that the N64 Mario Kart and that Double Dash gets more love than Super Circuit.
Because they're in 3D and this isn't.
reversalmushroom That has nothing to do with how popular those games are. I'm sure everyone knows why but I agree that Super Circuit is very underrated.
So true!
All my friends in school were playing this with their link cable while i was still playing a hand me down Gameboy Color with Mario Land 2 and Pokemon Crystal version.
I worked at old guy's yard pulling weeds for weeks saving up to get a GBA and 2 games and when i finally got enough...
Everyone's moms bought them a Nintendo DS and the newest Pokemon.
So I played this game to completion alone.
I only played gba games alone. No one at brought games to school.
Wouldn't it be cool if we could relive those times and let you catch up on the things you missed out on? Every time I read comments like yours it makes me go "aww, wish I could meet you and play that game with you so you know how its like".
That's sad, but honestly it probably made you a better, more responsible and appreciative person in the long run.
lol! you were poor.
Mystic Vee like a real gangsta
Oh, very nice! I loved playing this back then. Ah the memories. And I'm really liking that intro, very creative!
Happy to see a new review by Mike. One of the best on youtube for sure.
I really love this review. I wasn't really a fan of Mario Kart: Super Circuit because I couldn't understand the controls, but after watching this, I realized that others have the same feeling. The editing is amazing, the graphics, the quality, everything about this review is awesome.
I actually got this for my gba still play it and it is pretty fun.
AlphaMax nice profile
this game is the only mario kart game get triple star rank is just nearly impossible.
It’s EPIC to see you review such an underrated classic like this! The intro is phenomenal as well.
I had this game as a little kid, I used to play it all the time, I loved it. My favorite track was cheese road
You have some of the best video game reviews out there. Please do more.
This maybe be my favorite Mario Kart ever
I really enjoyed this game as a kid with a GBA.
My main gripe was multiplayer. I didn't have a cable and none of my friends had the game, which really takes away from the Mario Kart experience.
Also once Mario Kart DS came out, this game was kind of forgotten about.
Thanks for confirming the unlocking requirements for the SNES circuits!
This is my favourite Mario Kart! It also has my favourite graphics and soundtrack in the series~
@Michirin9801 I really like the graphics for this one too, It reminds me of the original game but updated.
I didn't mind this game, loved the SNES tracks they included.
Mario Kart DS is my favourite Mario Kart game. I loved the mission mode. Never understood why they never brought that back for other Mario Kart games.
My favourite Mario Kart game. The trick to the cornering is to hop out of turns, it helps you maintain your control much better.
This is my 3rd favorite MK between SMK and MK64. It was a satisfying mix between the two games. I'm old school, deal with it. Booya.
Don't forget the best part of these red shells! Firing them backwards would actually make it wait for the next opponent to travel past.
that super mario kart cinemassacre intro was awesome
My second favourite Mario Kart game, just underneath 64 :) The music to "Sky Garden" is still burned in my mind. Class soundtrack, great game
Me and my bud shared a house back in the early 00’s. All we had before I got a PS2 was his Gameboy. We used to play time trials against each other’s ghosts on Suoer circuit constantly. So much fun!
Brings back many memories! Who else had Toad as thier favorite racer?
awww yes my favourite mario Kart, That music from rainbow road gives me the chills still!
I love this game so much. Played it all time time back in 2001-2006. I still have it and played it
This is one of the games I played the most on GBA. I was crazy about this game and Metroid Zero Mission.
Still own both.
That opening graphic was so well done.
I've heard some people say that this game has unmemorable tracks, and to that I say: This game really has some great tracks! Sky Garden, Cheep Cheep Island, Sunset Wilds, Ribbon Road, Bowser Castle 3 (the blue one)... The little level graphics really help and some of the music's killer *AHEM*Shyguybeach*AHEM*
“Assuming you’ve played Mario kart before” looks up from playing it on his 2DS*
The multiplayer with one card was awesome. Every day before class we would race.
I love this game so much. Brings back memories. I played it on my GBA SP, so I had no issues about playing in the dark. Only problem is that my game boy is out of battery and it won't charge.
Finally MKSC gets some love! It's so sad when you see people give up on this game within a few hours because they haven't taken the time to learn the controls.
''Even simple graphics can be beautiful if the colors look beautiful.'' That's deep Mike! I should remember that.
I love how this Mario Kart is 32-bit in 2-D. Gameboy Advance put out so many great SNES-style games.
This game is my childhood, I have put a lot of hours playing this game, I even still have it with a copy of the manual. It's one of my favorite Mario Kart games too
The intro cinnemasscre animation gets better and better. 😆
Great review, Mike!
Love how relaxed it is without ever getting boring.
Mike your review are better the ign
Michael Richardson that’s not saying much...
IGN actually gave Mario Kart: Super Circuit a phenomenally positive rating of 9.5/10. But IGN's treatment towards Nintendo (yes, even Kirby) is a lot more positive and thus better than its treatment towards Sonic the Hedgehog and especially Kingdom Hearts.
This was my first mario kart game as well as one of the first games I ever played. So much nostalgia
Personally, I think Mike missed on a big point as to why I love this game. The way he said that "the GBA has limited hardware, so they had to compensate with better graphical palettes", I think the same could be applied to the level design. The tracks had to be relatively basic in terms of size and scope, so you get courses like Lakeside Park with an absolute bullshit turn (but in a good way), the Bowser castles with holes in the middle, and Ribbon Road with it's windy jumps. The music is also great, despite not having the quality of instruments that the N64 or SNES had.
I appreciate someone going back and talking about this game, it's very overlooked despite being incredibly fun to play, for me.
If you like Super Circuit you should also check out Konami Krazy Racers (aka Konami Wai Wai Racing Advance), what little I've played of it was pretty fun and I've seen many players say they prefer it over Super Circuit.
phukkitt Main problem in KKR is that there's no drifting but you to use your hops and brakes for those tricky turns.
Crash Nitro Kart is another good GBA racing game.
I played this game so much when i was younger!!
the video is impressively well edited. I loved the backlight dimming and the way the 4:3 pillar boxes dynamically changed. very well done.
My first Mario Kart game, I have some nostalgia from this game and that nostalgia is still sticking with me right now. Sure it might not be the best Mario Kart, but I always liked the tracks, music, and the colors from this game and seeing some of those tracks come back in the newer Mario Karts like Cheese Land, with the epic jazz music makes me have many tears in my eyes. Now the question is.. when are we gonna see Sky Garden, Sunset Wilds, Snow Land, Lakeside Park, Bowser Castle 4 and GBA Rainbow road in HD? I want to see them get the Cheese Land and Ribbon Road treatment! (although Ribbon Road had surfer music for some reason)
Kinda disappointed the intro race course wasn’t shaped like the Cinemassacre Chainsaw but loved the review, keep it up!
That intro was dope AF. Great review. I agree that the throwback tracks alone are worth owning this game. I got my copy for $5 from GameStop, totally worth it considering Super Mario Kart sells for $20+.
I have to agree that handheld Mario Kart games were super brutal. Not the kind of hand holding like in MK8
Wow, nice intro and ending. Its sure feels nostalgic and well cared for good old Super Mario Kart
ah good memories
Rainbow road on this game is absolute hell even all these years later.
I never knew the blue shell was in this game. After 15 years, i never encountered it.
You hit the nail right on the head with this review. To me, other than of course the original Super Mario Kart, it's the best Mario Kart by far. I like the feel of it, the lack of blue shells, the lack of excessive turbo on every turn, the way you've got to be a little more precise in your control than the following games. Also, back in the day, being able to play this game two players (which was also available having only one cartridge!) on two GBA, each player having his own screen, was awesome and new. It's one of the Mario Kart games I enjoy the most playing against the computer (doing the cups) and doing the time trials. Definitely underrated in my opinion.
Never knew of the mini turbo! Now I want to boot the old GBA on!
Nostalgia right there! I had a flashback when I was 5 or so and was on a road trip with my parents. All I had was my Gameboy Advance SP and Mario Kart Super Circuit. Oh it was a good drive!
im glad to hear the koopa troopa results theme at the end my favorite track off the smk ost
That opening is INSANELY AWESOME
I have this game. It's a cool thing to have for your GBA.
I have a GBA somewhere, i'm going to have to hunt this game down.
My 2 cents to this video:
I like the slower pace of the video not so many ADHS jumpcuts as other review youtubers.
The tone is mellow, easy to listen to and the footage is chosen good.
One thing I would like to criticize is the some redundancys in the writing. For example you make the point for an appealing colour palette on simplistic graphics twice. Its very much the same sentence.
But dont take my words to seriously, I dont know much about making reviews. Just a thing that popped out to me.
cheers
You bring back great memories of this game, such fun in one's hands.
Wawaluigi Coffee is so fucking Philly i love it :D
What an awesome and amazing logo intro!!!
I think the next Mario Kart will be Mario Kart 10, because they've numbered it just like Windows to this point. 8 Deluxe is 8.1, or "9."
Please don't compare Mario Kart 8 to Windows 8
Either that or Mario Kart Tour is Windows 9
Jared Vincent yeah, actually the next Mario Kart has already been annouced. Mario Kart Tour for mobile. I hope they pull it off
Greaser Samurai I did not know that there would be a mobile Mario Kart game until you mentioned it. It's coming out next year. 🤓
Please bring back; or something similar to The Game Graphic Glitch Gremlin.
" I shit all over it.. with me glitches :D "
That shit killed me.
I missed playing this one, somehow, but now I've got to find it!
Loved playing this game as a kid (2nd MarioKart game I ever played, right after the N64 version)
i remember my nephew had this and i "borrowed" it for a while, great game
Mike Matei, busting those track unlock myths so you don't have to.
Interesting tech fact: the background is 60fps, but the characters and the track are 30fps and each updates at alternate frame from each other.
This is still my favourite Mario Kart game. It still feels like a racing game as opposed to its sequels which just feel more and more like party games to me.
I'm glad to see these classics on the gba previewed I feel like I missed out not playing some of these games back in the day.
I had a lot of fun with this one. I unlocked everything in it twice!!
I remember getting this game when it came out. A year ago I picked it up again and sort of mastered the controls. It's an awesome game to say the least, I actually like it better than Mario Kart DS
Louis Arias not sure how thats even possible, mario kart ds is in 3d and with that gives you much more varied tracks
160sharp I just like it better. It's its own thing. To your point though I much prefer Mario Kart Wii to DS, but I only played DS recently
Louis Arias ohh okay thats cool :), i always have a tough time with which is my favourite i usually prefer the newest one but still I'm always debating haha that or double dash,
Even blown up on a big TV, SC looks surprisingly good!
Now I wanna see mike play mario kart on a twitch stream
Glad you reviewed this one I remember playing in it on long car rides back in the day I really like your reviews
i absolutely love what this channel has morphed into. It used to be just James reviewing Nintendo games and goofing around. Now it's so many more personalities, different angles, and it's a lot of fun. Thanks guys.
I personally found that whole thing with Red Shells screwing up to be a real pain in the ass.
I doubt cartridge memory size was the reason Monty Mole et al. were cut from the SNES tracks.
SNES game: 0.2 - 4 MB storage
GBA game: up to 32 MB
I played the portable Mario Kart games (GBA and DS) more often in my youth than any of the home console versions for the fact that I found them more challenging. Loved seeing my favorite tracks from those games get an upgrade in Mario Kart 8 (easily the most well-balanced and fun racing of all the titles).
Mario Kart 7 & 8 is where I started in the series. Never played the classics
Great video. It would a good series to review all Mario kart games a definite watch.
Preferring dumber red shells is just absurd. The whole point of red shells is that they’re completely self-guided.
That opening title is so good!
Man I had a blast with this game as a kid.
Out of all the Mario Kart games that have come out, MK Super Circuit has to be my most favorite game of all. Simply because it is closest to the original game yet different, overall. Not only that but you can also unlock the original MK racetracks to race on. It is only game out of the whole series that I beat completely. Fun times.
I love your review style, the tips and tricks mixed into it are great
The last Mario kart game I played was Mario kart Wii but double dash is my absolute favorite
tfw you're a mario kart veteran
Oh man, this is was my first and absolute favourite Mario Kart game. The graphics were beautiful, the controls great and it has, in my opinion, the best Rainbow Road track (and the best song too)
Never really considered the use of color saturation for the GBA: interesting stuff.
The racing physics are weird at first, but very satisfying once you learn them. Too bad that the AI doesn't give a flying fuck about them, they just follow scripted paths like a railcar, and if you happen to cross the paths with them, they'll hump the side of your kart until you're out of coins.
This game also taught me the concept of the rubberband effect.
Super Circuit and 7 have my favorite Rainbow Road themes!
The intro was dope.
Mario Kart Super Circuit was the first Mario Kart game I've ever played! I'm just gonna assume that I played this game back in 2001 when I got my game boy advance original alongside Crash Bandicoot: The Huge Adventure and I play that game again when I went to the Connart's house with my mother back in 2006 because my mother was a housekeeper! I went to David Connart's son's room and his son had the original game boy advance model and the Mario Kart Super Circuit cartridge and I played the hell out of this game and that game was not only fun but challenging! But this was the first Mario Kart game that I played the most and like I said, this game was fun, addicting, but very challenging!
Really cool opening shot!
It was a great game. I bought it on launch day. Played it to death. But traded it with a friend from the neighbourhood. Not permanently, but for a couple of weeks. He suddenly moved to another city. Took my games with him (I got one game, he got 2 - Jurassic Park Builder as well). I'm still pissed about this. I never saw him again. No social media, no nothing.
that intro was awesome
