Amazing game. Extremely fucking difficult too unless you just master getting the max warp brick every time.
I don’t think it’s better than Mario Kart, but I do think it’s better than Diddy Kong Racing.
I also had the N64 version as a kid.
Really underrated game but everyone who had it back then has fond memories of it because it’s far better than it needed to be. Building your own car with Lego bricks from different themes sets was just too fucking cool.

>I don’t think it’s better than Mario Kart
I do. On every level.
>>
>>11512358
That’s a reasonable opinion to have since Lego Racers is indeed a quality title. Though I disagree I can see where you are coming from.
>>
>>11512372
Why do you disagree?
>>
>>11512373
Because Mario Kart 64 is still the gold standard to this day and what every kart racer made since uses as a template. Mechanically I feel like Mario Kart plays better, it’s a five star meal made with few ingredients.
You can absolutely make the case Lego Racers is a better game (full 3D, more customization, debatably better AI), but Mario Kart 64 has that perfect balance.
The warp brick is also so OP it kind of ruins the balance of the game, then again some people would say the blue shell is the same.

I also can’t recall if Lego Racers had 4-way split screen multiplayer.
>>
it was fun, but I never felt like it was better than Mario kart. No drift mechanic and turning was kinda cumbersome. GOD tier shortcuts though
>>
I don't have an opinion about which is better. But no one here is even attempting a persuasive argument. Just talking like kids do.
>>

Lego Racers on N64 had split screen racing with 2 players only. So Mario Kart has more multiplayer capability.
>>
>>11512425
Yeah it couldn't do 4 player split screens because the maps and trackside detail were so much higher than in mario kart.
>>
>>11512402
Bud, this is the 30+ site. You should be on TikTok and discussing games in Twitch chats if you're under 25.

Lego Racers ruled. The handling wasn't as good at Mario Kart, but seeing all the themes and characters from the Lego sets I had was really cool. Nothing else had anything like the cart builder either.

I have doubts that any women on here were born as women. But I believe that it's all zoomers on here because this site has always attracted young boys who like to shitpost.

Pic-related hasn't been true since mid 2010.

great game
I remember playing the pc version on the school computer, we were stuck on the alien lady
then one day my friend came to school and said he'd beat her but only if we don't bother him while he plays
and beat her he did

Mickeys Speedway is ass. This is Rare’s worst outing on N64 by a lot. It’s so unbelievably average and uninspired. This game is so average that it’s worse than a shitty game because it has no memorable qualities. Superman 64 is more fun to play than this simply because it’s such a variety of dogshit while this will just put you to sleep.
>>
>>11516131
I agree, Mickey's Speedway is not a bad game but just bland. It's average in every way possible and easily forgettable. Would be a perfect game for the PSX really.
>>
>>11512342
Almost every kart game in existance is better than Mario Kart. It's needlessly put on a pedestal by people that only ever played. Even shovelware like Speed Freaks matches it's quality.
>>
>>11512682
I had this on PS1 and played it all the time. Does the N64 have the Metallica soundtrack?
>>
>>11512402
If you are over 18 you should be able to compare these games using language like an adult. If you are between 13 to 18 you should be developing these skills.

If you are anything at all you should not get upset at someone trying to maintain basic standards.
>>
I suspect the reason I like LEGO Racers more than Mario Kart is because I had the former as a kid and only ever played the latter at friend's houses. I like Mario Kart fine now, but if I just want a quick couple races I'm more likely to fire up LEGO Racers instead. The grappling hook powerup is more satisfying than firing a blue shell.
>>
>>11516885
I’m in the same position as you. I actually didn’t get Mario Kart 64 until either really late in the N64s life or perhaps even 6th gen. I lived next door to a girl who had it and would play it all the time though. I did own Lego Racers since the beginning.
Mario Kart then became a kind of nostalgic gold standard and in high school we would drink and smoke and play Mario Kart 64.

So if you asked me as a kid which I liked more, I’d say Lego Racers, but Mario Kart 64 ended up having more permanence with me.

Lego Racers is still the better game single player though. Unlocking the different parts and building your own car has a good sense of progression.

>I don’t think it’s better than Mario Kart, but I do think it’s better than Diddy Kong Racing.
but dkr is better and superior than mk64, anon
>>
>>11516909
I never thought this. Diddy Kong Racing is good but it never put me on the addiction loop like Mario Kart 64 or Lego Racers.
I have nothing bad to say about it other than it isn’t for me.
