Double Dash was the best Kart IMO. Characters having their own special item and seat swapping for strategic plays.

The simple ability of being able to rotate items if you want to use one and save the other not being in any other Mario Kart is crazy to me.

I'd say it requires a good bit of strategy to not be able to swap. Essentially it forces you to think of either keeping an item in your main slot or using it and hoping for it in the second slot so it can't be stolen or a better combo. Though, I only use this principle for shells/bananas since I never wanna give up a horn. Horn in second slot and shell/banana in the first is god tier rng.

Being able to just strait up punch your opponents was the best feature in any mariokart

I have not been able to get into another Mario kart because none of them live up to double dash. Maybe one day, we will get a remake or sequel…

Same. The special items really set the characters apart and mixing a team's was great.

Happy to see Double Dash love… I wish it was an option on later games. Best reason is it let’s people have a more gentle intro to the game… “I’ll drive… you just shoot items and figure things out”

Plus it was so fun to play in pairs! I loved bumping people off a cliff 😛

Yeah but double dash is always worth going back to and the globe shows the pair mechanic as well

I can hear the music just by looking at this beautiful gif :] this was the first Mario kart track I ever played actually!! My dad bought me this game and I went straight to the star cup… came in last and I cried 😂 Daisy taught me the meaning of the word “brutal.” (I thought it was a type of bread)

Now this gives me memories. I remember getting a week off of school when I was 6 because I had the flu, and the whole week I played Double Dash. I very quickly forgot how miserable I was and just had fun. I always used to drive to the edges of courses and look off into the horizon and wish I could go into the TV to explore them myself - especially on courses like DK Mountain, Rainbow Road, or Toad City, Dry Dry Desert, or Toad Bridge. That wanderlust which was awoken in me never died, and in my adult life I’ve now been to Vietnam, lived in Italy, and next year I’ll be moving to Madagascar! And in some small way, I have Mario Kart: Double Dash to thank in part for that. Thanks for making this gif; very cool!

Love Double Dash and sherbet land is one of my favorite tracks from that game! My sister and I have a lot of good memories playing that game while growing up. I’ll have to show this to her.
