Mario Kart 64/YMMV


 * Awesome Music: The Staff Roll, such an amazing, happy and heartwarming song.
 * The theme for Rainbow Road is also pretty catchy.
 * Character Tiers: This game introduced a tier system into the series, but almost nobody likes the Heavy characters, who are incredibly slow and useless on turns and off-roads.
 * The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: On 150cc, you'd better not let the 2nd place driver get too far ahead, or else they speed up so quickly that you'll never have a chance of catching up, short of repeated Lightning bolts in a row.
 * Contested Sequel: Many people consider it inferior to the original SNES game.
 * Others consider it the part where the series began to Grow the Beard.


 * Goddamned Bats: Banshee Boardwalk.
 * Most Annoying Sound: Peach's lines of "Here-we-go!!!", "Peachy", and "Ayieee" can get pretty grating.
 * That One Level: Yoshi Valley was a huge labrynth on narrow cliff sides, and the computer couldn't keep track of your places. Oh, and a huge egg crushes you..
 * Rainbow Road is ridiculously long and it's got chain chomps on the road (though unlike every other incarnation, you can't fall off).
 * Sherbet Land has those penguins.
 * Urban Legend of Zelda: It was a fairly common belief that the Green Thwomp in Bowser's Castle was a secret racer.
