Until the lag issues in the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack are resolved, I'd recommend leaving online play to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. However, now that both of these games, along with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, are on the Switch, I'd say they each have their place. A smaller subsection of those fans prefer Mario Kart 64, the series' first foray into the third dimension. You'll hear lots of die-hard Mario Kart fans claim that Double Dash is the best game in the series. There were some hiccups, but we generally made it through the Cup (I lost, but that's not important), laughing and having fun. I played through a couple of Cups in single-player before moving on to playing Mario Kart 64 online with a friend. The controls came naturally, even if the drifting took some getting used to. I expected to find the controls janky and unforgiving, like other retro games, but to my surprise, I had a blast. I was already familiar with many of the tracks, given that every game from Mario Kart DS onward included retro tracks in their Grand Prix courses. So when I heard that Mario Kart 64 was coming to the Nintendo Switch, I was a bit apprehensive. When I played the game again in the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection, the iconic plumber felt a little too slippery, which made judging distance difficult. I played the Nintendo DS remake for a short amount of time, but couldn't get behind the strange control scheme that had to be implemented due to the handheld's lack of an analog control stick. I'm not the biggest fan of Super Mario 64.
