#05: Mario Kart 64 (N64)

Why it Made the Cut: Who knew such a harmless and kid-friendly game could prompt such profanity and competitiveness from adult males? Many, many, many, many hours were devoted to this inspired cartoonish vehicular mayhem, and many, many, many turtle shells were joyfuly jammed up that piss-ant Toad's tailpipe.

Props: The Block Fort offered much fun in Battle Mode, but for my money, the Big Donut was the true test of a Mario Kart racer's skill.

Poops: Damn you Donkey Kong and your slow acceleration!
