  Yeah… Seeing this as a retro game hurts. Also, I can’t remember if winning this cup as Yoshi is a noteworthy accomplishment or not.

    It isn’t about the character you choose to use for the race. I’d be more concerned about the 50cc part. Although, now that you mention it, it seems like using bigger characters (Bowser, etc) made the car move slower.

      Bigger characters had a lower top speed, but could maintain speed while turning better. They could also bump lighter characters and spin them out.

        My recollection was big characters had a higher top speed, but slow acceleration. Small characters were the opposite. Medium characters didn’t excel or suck at either.

    It is not the game is very easy. Yoshi is also one of the best characters (there’s a total of 3 characters, light, medium and heavy).

  Want to feel older? Since the N64, we’ve had the GameCube, Wii, Wii U and Switch. The latter of which has been out for 7 years already and is probably going to be replaced soon.

    Thanks. I hate it.

    I remember getting excited over the NES.

      But… like imagine the worth of our stories in 50 years. Well have essentially seen the entire evolution of gaming, from the beginning of digital gaming, personally experiencing it.

      We’ll be interviewed like witnesses to historical events.
