You guys must not be that good in MarioKart. Double Dash was the first one I played (at age 7, I might add,) and I still school at that game. Then I played Super Circuit, and the drifting and turning were horrible. After that, I played Super MarioKart and it was a challenge, but not awful. Then my brother showed me 64, and that was a bit of a toughie, since my brother demolishes at that game. I bought MK DS and it was pretty easy, but I hated the graphics. Then came Wii, and I got extremely good. Last but not least I played 7, and at first it was hard, but now I have a Triple-Star Rank in every cup, on every cc. Metal Mario + Barrel Train + Slim tires + Paraglider = AMAZING
