Must have for the MK addict (Z****, New York, 2008-11-25)

I am SO happy I decided to purchase this game guide. It shows so many tricks and hints on how to get "ahead of the pack". I especially found the selection on the differences in the vehicle and character selections can make on your races. If you are a Mario Kart addict like me - this is a must for you. I would tell you it would also make a perfect gift for another MK player you may know of, but why increase their chances of winning against you. :-)

great guide for a great game - with one error (J. Hohulin, San Francisco, CA, 2008-10-28)

My daughter and I got the guide after the game, to help us improve our scores and it certainly did that. This is a well-written, very helpful guide, with ONE minor but glaring error: It states that specific characters do not affect vehicle performance. This has been proven otherwise, as I found out while searching some of the internet gaming sites. Aside from that one imperfection, the guide is terrific, and well worth the investment. It has certainly enhanced our Mario Kart experience.

A must-have for the serious gamer (Michael R. Then, NC, 2008-08-07)

This book not only helped me unlock some of the fastest karts in the game, it helped me knock several seconds off each lap. The techniques, suggestions, and shortcuts are invaluable for the serious gamer, especially those that wish to dominate online!

it's my secret weapon (*~*Jenny*~*™, Behind the Orange Curtain, CA USA, 2008-07-16)

I have learned a lot from reading this manuel. I'm not a hardcore gammer, but I am addictedd to Mario Kart and it has improved my game. It taught me how to boost start, where to drop items, and just overall how to get better ratings. I am now a one star player and I owe it to this book. (Still working on getting more stars, but I'm happy with one, for now...)

Mario Kart (R. Lee, San Francisco, CA USA, 2008-06-26)

My wife and I have never played any of the Mario Kart games before, so this was new to us. We really enjoyed it! It was a great deal of fun, and about the only complaint is that it is so addictive as you try to get that 1st place finish to open new screens. Get it, very good fun.
