Since its inception, other Mario Kart games have worked hard to make tracks that are wacky, visually captivating and inviting to players than wanted to play around with shortcuts. It was this attention to detail that allowed Mario Kart 64 to set the standards when it came to Mario Kart track design. Luigi Circuit, for example, may just be the standard racing course, but includes everything from a Luigi balloon to a TV screen that replayed the events going on in the course.
These were tracks that were alive and filled with a lot of personality. The tracks were now more than just a flat, rotating texture with small details here and there. But the technical prowess of the Nintendo 64 allowed it to fully expand itself so more ideas could be sprinkled throughout. The core gameplay concept remained intact when it made the transition from the Super NES to the Nintendo 64: Race as some of your favorite Mario Kart characters (each labeled under the light, medium and heavy racer system) through various wacky locales, using items to defeat each other. That's not to say that Nintendo didn't implement some new ideas into the game. So, rather than completely reinventing Super Mario Kart, they took everything that worked in the Super NES game and translated it onto the 3D hardware. Everything in Super Mario Kart more or less worked, and messing with something that wasn't broken would quickly be the demise of the still-infant franchise. When Nintendo created the concept behind Super Mario Kart, they saw no need in drastically changing its concepts for the next iteration of the series. One of these games happened to be Mario Kart 64. From the shooting action of Rare's Goldeneye 007 to the quirky nature of the Mario Party games, these advancements in multiplayer gaming made the system the preferred console for multiplayer gatherings. The Nintendo 64's existence was littered with some of the best four-player games ever released. Sure, there were a lot of fascinating multiplayer games on the Super NES, but it wasn't until the Nintendo 64 that people saw multiplayer gaming as a grand social event for video game fans.
