SNES is best for single player and for multiplayer either in grand prix
or battle mode. Battle mode is best in the first one because the tracks
are super-simple and force you to confront your enemy while at the same
time trying to dodge him. The 3D battle modes are multi-tiered and turn
into mindless looped chases--there is no strategy.

Bullshit, both 3D Versions are performing very well and are well designed,
maybe the N64 Version is a little better than the Gamecube Version, but
both are very nice games and fun to play.

But they pale in comparison to the originals simplicity and mad cap battles.
