Mario Kart 64

You control a character like Mario or Yoshi, steering a kart around winding tracks. The main goal is to finish first in a series of races against computer opponents. You use items like banana peels to slip up rivals or shells to knock them off course. The tracks have sharp turns and shortcuts that require precise timing. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty can spike on later courses. It feels like a chaotic, fun scramble to the finish line.
