"lowest points in the series" who says that? ive always considered it easily my favorite

0:15 "Mario Kart 64 is often considered to be one of the lower points of the series due mostly to the fact that it was one of the earliest entries and it's mostly un-evolved." That line made me raise an eyebrow. The game is literally the second game in the series, and builds up on every thing Super Mario Kart established. How can it possible be in the lower points and un-evolved?

0:40 Well that aged well.

I have literally never heard a single person call Mario Kart 64 a lowpoint in the series

This game was a monumental leap from Super Mario Kart. Possibly the biggest leap between 'Karts of them all. It created a bunch of new conventions and refinements that are still present in MK8. WTH?

0:20 What? Mario Kart 64 is an absolute classic! It's my favorite Mario Kart along with MK8.

Who says Mario Kart 64 is the lowest point? Sure its rough sometimes, but I didn't even grow up with it, just first got it on WiiU and loved it.

90s tube TVs have a softening effect on pixels, much like modern anti-aliasing. The HD mod is *literally* how I remember seeing this game for the first time in a Blockbuster Video.

Hey. When MK64 came out, it was sold out all over the US. I couldn't get it. Then I went on a trip to Puerto Rico, where I was teaching computers and one of my students heard I was looking for it, called all over the island and found a single copy in a Wal Mart sixty miles away in Fajardo. Then he MADE them hold that one for me, even thought it was against their policy. I'm eternally grateful. For me, MK64 is the best game ever created for any console. I had countless hours of fun with that. Thank you for covering this. All good wishes.

Mario Kart 64 is not one of the "lower points" in the series. It still holds up surprisingly well, in my opinion, even without a trick system or drift boosting.

"Often considered to be one of the lower points of the series" this take is so baffling I can only assume he's messing with us

"lowest points in the series"? I always see it in the top spots of the rankings because of people's nostalgia for it

Mario Kart fans learn that "one of the weakest entries in the series" =/= "it's a bad game". Also that differing opinions exist

Lowest point in the series??? It's one of the best

It already is a masterpiece…

Lower points?! It was literally the second one and it's super beloved?! Where you getting that take?!

The Mario Kart 64 decompilation is on the way, thus an unofficial non-emulated PC version of this game may be on its way. Having a native port of this game could potentially enable fully 3D models for all the characters instead of pre-rendered 2D sprites as of now. The Mario Kart HD team could then potentially just port over their HD 3D character models to this unofficial port instead of just using their HD 2D sprites made from them.

I have never heard an opening statement fumble that hard. It’s like a football player with oil in their hands, slipping on a banana peel, all while dashing in the opposite direction of the ball. I think it becomes increasingly annoying for someone to try and fail at history lessons when we have channels that actually try to get their facts straight. Whether 64 has aged well is up for debate, but it was a landmark title that had a huge positive influence on the whole series, pretty much created the modern party racer, and its track selection has it remembered as a classic even today.

Mario Kart 64 will always be my favorite Mario Kart, it's the one I grew up on, plus the physics are so hilarious

"It's immortal like the queen." That quote aged like milk

DKR runs beautifully, I don't know what you're smoking

This is my favorite Mario Kart game. So much fun with 4 friends. How is it a low point for the series?

I don't think anybody considers MK64 a low point in the series. Most of us grew up with it and love it to death. Other than that though, great video.

5:24 ahh yes, crash bandicoot, my favourite Mario character

Tedious to setup?? I literally just dropped the mod into the texture mod folder and it worked. If it feels difficult then you obviously did it wrong.

I don't know if _all_ of the pre-rendered models were entirely redone by the Mario Kart 64 HD team since Mario and Luigi look like they were taken from the Render96 project. It's also possible that the MK64 HD team used some textures from the gigaleak.

You really need to talk about Overkart64 it's pretty much CTGP for nintendo 64, it adds new tracks, and a ton of options

Who says mario kart 64 is unappreciated?! It is still the best mario kart. Fact.

0:40 "it's imortle like the queen"

MK64 is literally the number 1 kart game of all time, beating all of its newer versions and copy-cats.

0:40 The fact this was posted the day after the Queen died lmao

- TerminalMontage's Fox McCloud: "OH!" ... I see you already talked about it.

"Those letters are the best letters I've ever seen".

"it's immortal like the queen" little did they know

1. Mario Kart (SNES) 2. Mario Kart 64 3. Mario Kart Super Circuit I'll fight anyone who challenges this WWE style.

I have always loved Mario Kart 64 and I always will. Mario Kart 64 is one of the first games I ever owned. Some of my earliest memories are of that game. I will always remember Rainbow Road, Banshee Boardwalk, Choco Mountain, Royal Raceway (the one with Peach's castle from SM64), Toad's Turnpike, etc...

Mario Kart 64 has always been my favourite in the series, and really the only N64 game I come back to play once in a while

From Primitive to Prime. This is what I call amazing. A true fine art.

Paused the video 20 seconds in and checked the comments to see if anyone else thought the same as I did…and wasn’t disappointed

“it’s immortal, like the Queen”. Who died the day before

I would like to see modders make Daisy in Mario Kart 64. She has to be old school style, because her new style hasn't existed yet until the GameCube Era. So I just wanted to see what she would look like in her old school style in Mario Kart 64.

"It's immortal, like the Queen." The Queen: **Touhou 15 Marisa face**

"Immortal like the queen" Cue the Queen dying on the day you posted this

Still my favorite mario kart for single player.

"it's immortal like the queen" that one didn't age quite so well

Mario kart 64 was my all time favorite

Lower points in the series? Lol 😂

Mario Kart 64 is my favorite one!!!!! What????

No Koopa Troopa, Birdo, Dry Bones, Shy Guy, Daisy, Diddy Kong, Conker, and Spyro. *0/10* …Jokes aside, I love the idea of expanding the rosters and features of older games. Smash 64 Remix and especially Project M EX Remix as some of my favorite modded Nintendo games all time for that reason alone. The classic styled Sonic games are also always a treat, and I don’t even need to get into Doom because you *know* those games are modded like crazy. Really the only thing I’m waiting for now is for the decompilations and PC ports of Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, and Conker’s Bad Fur Day come to light sooner rather than later since seeing mod projects like what they do for Super Mario 64 alone is legendary in of itself.

"you know its immortal, like the queen" 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨

0:02 DAMN THATS TOUGH

"Immortal like the queen" You had to jynx it.

It would seem that many people feel this video is a low point in the series of Mario Kart 64 KZfaq videos.

Aw bro I got my 64 with SM64 in October of 97 and Mario Kart 64 for Christmas that year. And that was one of the greatest games of my life, I played that game for years and years and would even compete for primordial world records way back in like 2001. Not that I was ever even close but on one of the old sites I did get 72nd in the world at the time on Sherbet Land lmao since that stage had no major skips yet and all you really needed to do was race fast and jump as many corners as possible lmao. MK64 is one of the true highlights of my earlier life, love that game, thanks for the report on these mods, they look incredible to me as an old time original fan

At 6:26, Was I the only one who noticed Ludwig von Koopa-

Thx 4 playing ✌️

Where's the download link? Also, how would I patch the ROM file?

Lowest point? I love this game and can go back to it anytime :)

Mario Kart 64 is THE Mario Kart.. Not "one of the lower points" of the series lol

do you have any version of mario kart 64 with 8 players??

0:01 Why did Luigi have D.K's voice?

It's amazing but I wonder how much work it would have been to keep Bowser's and Toad's properly-sized tires (they were wider than the other karts' tires) and DK's and Peach's color-matched rims in the final product (DK had yellow and brown, Peach's were pink).

Thank you for covering hooting time

"Just like the queen, imortal " - the queen "hold my beer'

bro, we already have remake of most of the tracks from n64 in mk8d

My 4 yr old started gaming with Mario Kart 64. Gotta start them early

I destroy my kids on MK64. They get so mad and call me a boomers. Good times.

bro i love this video and sarcastic tone

*Wow, it looks so good in HD!*

I love that they changed the audio to "I'm, errm, I'm Wario and errr, I'm going to win, I think"

Anyone who believes Mario Kart 64 is anything less of a masterpiece has never played battle mode on Block Fort. I make no exaggeration in saying it's the *best* casual and competitive multiplayer experience.

Waluigi didn't exist until mario tennis.

Thanks, I'm still playing my n64 version and think thats still a masterpiece

0:39 That didn't age well 💀

Low point in the series? I've seen enough.

"This game is immortal, like the queen." About that...

How do you get you racers to not be transparent when playing Hooting Time?

I have never seen mario kart 64 lag as much as the HD version

Mario Kart and Xtreme G share similar weapon mechanics! Wish they used the boost torch from XG! Haha instead of the super mushroom but so cool that the feather was added and also it’s really cool that it seems the CPU can now fire shells something it can’t do on the standard version

My favorite part was when the KZfaqr did the Mario line

64 and Super Circuit are my two favorites, hands down. The nostalgia is something that you just cannot buy with the newest titles.

Bowsers spiked look especially amazing to me

This guy likes Banjo You have my respect

Haha Banjos wooooaaaow in the beginning spinning out and luigi wins 😂

Lower points of the series? What?

Man this game looks crispy

This looks exactly the same way I remember it because I was there when it released 😂😂😂

Do these work on actual hardware?

I know your not a Splatoon guy but it would be cool to see you cover it sometime good video :)

Next ctgp n64 starting with 100 tracks 💀💀💀

0:39 if only

I mean… Playing as Banjo is a huge deal

MK64 will always be the best title of the franchise, although MKWii and MKDD were pretty good too.

Ah yes Crash my favourite Mario Character

Hold up why the hell is there an of link in the description

So... the queen died the day before you released this video. Now, was the queen being immortal a joke you added in during editing... Or DID YOU DO IT?

With great respect to the modding scene, and really cool their doing this. But it’s not for me, i’m ok with just the 3DS Mario Kart 7, which is the perfect upgrade. Thanks for the video!

I wish modern Mario Karts looked like this instead of the overly cartoony, kiddish vibe.

It would be cool if there's a mod where you can change the music for the race or for each lap, and when I mean change the music I mean music that can be outside of nintendo. I know that would make some sick videos if the last lap music was eurobeat and the race is tight between 1st and the 2nd place

This is amazing
