That was an excellent feature for a handheld game, and certainly much better than a simple time trial mode.Īlthough this game takes much inspiration from Super Mario Kart, the controls aren't nearly as tight. I spent a lot of time doing 5 straight laps against the AI on Bowser's Castle 3 and 4, which were some of my favorite courses. However, the Grand Prix was really good, and I liked that fact that I could now race on a single course against the AI for more than just 3 laps. mode (at least not until a couple years ago), so the Battle Mode went unused. I played this game quite a bit back in the day, but due to all the hardware requirements, I never got to do multiplayer aside from the single-cartridge VS. The Game Boy Advance was essentially a portable Super Nintendo, and that was what I loved about it. This was of course due to the Game Boy Advance's hardware limitations, but I didn't really mind. Super Circuit was interesting because of how it went back to the 2D, Mode 7 style of Super Mario Kart instead of the 3D style of Mario Kart 64. I got this game either on its release date in 2001 or shortly thereafter. I'm using my favorite character in the game: Yoshi. This footage was recorded directly from my GameCube using my Game Boy Player with progressive scan mode enabled (you'll need the GameCube's component cables to do this and your model of GameCube must support component out as well). This is not an emulator and was not played on the Wii U Virtual Console. This is a capture of me playing through the 150cc Star Cup in Mario Kart: Super Circuit for the Game Boy Advance.
