Mario Kart: Double Dash!!

The Mushroom Kingdom just got a whole lot more hectic as Mario and friends double up for furious kart racing in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. This time around, each kart holds two racers that can switch places at any time, so you choose from a large cast of favorites and pair them up any way you see fit. The character in front handles the driving duties, while the character in the rear doles out damage with six normal items and eight special items that only specific characters can use. The cast includes Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Peach, Bowser, and Koopa. The game was developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube. It was released in November 2003 as an arcade-style racing game played from a third-person view. It has a single-player mode as well as multiplayer, co-op and split screen play, so friends can race together on the same console.
