Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros. Brawl?

RL Link · 06-06-2008

I prefer Brawl. The WiFi might be better with MKWii but it has a downfall. Well...The game IS good, but the players sort of ruin it. I'd prefer a clean race with Karts but almost everyone uses the bikes now because of the wheelies so they can stay far ahead the whole time. In my opinion, that kind of ruins the game, which is why I rarely touch it at all now. Other then that...It's pretty Solid.

Brawl's only WiFi downfall is the lag, depending on distance. And the fact that SOME may decide to spam(repeat a move over and over again) against you. Both cases...The main problem is the people you decide to play with. Although... I still side with Brawl. Since Zelda owns, and I love Yoshi's fighting style. =3

you have made a tough choice to choose from. they are both great games for Gamecube. i am going to reccomend Smash Bros though. its all a preference if you like racing or Fighting.

I personally think Smash has better multiplayer but if you want a good single experience, then Mario Kart seems better.

These two games are probably my two favorite games (besides Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess).

Mario Kart gives the same racing action as the other mario kart games. This time, Mario Kart has 32 courses instead of the usual 16. It combines the classic courses with the new courses (which I love the classics). The Wii Wheel (if you choose to use it as your controller) gives a new feel to the game instead of using the joystick on the gamecube controller. The online is nearly flawless and it is just a load of fun.

SSBB has the new adventure mode that could sell as a individual game (although I don't think that would sell well). More characters to choose from in this game. The biggest addition from other games that change the gameplay is the Smash Ball. I think Smash Balls are awesome to use against your opponent as a final smash. But the side effect is that there is a little more luck involved with the Smash Ball because it floats around the stage randomly.

If I had to choose between these two...I would have to pick SSBB because I love fighting.

If you dont have either get Mario Kart if u see it first thing. If you cant find it get brawl. Both games are fun. it just depends one what you want more

I've played Smash Bros. for years. I don't even own the game! But I've played twice as many hours as most people who own it have. I went to the opening of Brawl just for the fun of it. And I've played Mario Kart. It just comes down to what you like more, fighting games or racing games. I prefer Smash Bros., but both are great games.

Brawl has my vote, It's more fun to destroy your friends, and I have it and don't got Mari Kart Wii, but I've heard good things about it so I want to get it.

Mario Kart Wii will keep you satisfied for MUCH longer.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl is well... Pretty crappy online. Both games aren't 100% FUN online, but MKW is definitely better. The offline multiplayer is generally more fun for MKW and all aspects of MKW are better than SSBB.

Brawl is a better game in every way. It has much, much more depth, more content, and better gameplay. Mario Kart is still a fantastic game, and the online play is pretty solid if you are into that sort of thing (but the competition are pretty much pushovers). It's the best Mario Kart game yet, but it's not quite as good as Brawl.

How So? No point system. No communication. No lobby. What's so solid about it?

Alondite · 11-10-2008

Um....there is a point system. Have you ever even played it online? Communication is completely irrelevant and unnecessary (I for one don't want to hear a bunch of idiocy when I'm playing) as is a lobby. It's relatively lag-free, even with 12 players. That is solid online, not that online play even matters.

super smash brotheras is the best game by far

mabinogi · 06-01-2009

Mario Kart beacause Barwal was a dissapoinment

PINGOCHO · 06-02-2009

I think the best one is mario kart. in fact no the best, its hard to say that because both are excellent games, but mario kart is the game that you will enjoy for hours alone or with friends, for that only reason and no other i preffer to take first mario kart than brawl.

Both games are amazing, although both were somewhat of a letdown.

Brawl was made too complicated. The addition of the Brawl Super-like move just makes things...unfair and less about skill than about chance. The characters are somewhat unbalanced, and; worst of all, it feels like they slowed the game down from SSBM. Despite all that, its STILL an amazing game. Which says a lot about the Smash Bros. series.

Mario Kart is a lot of fun. The only major complaint I have is that single player mode is WAY too easy. I honestly really, really suck at Mario Kart. Like I can barely compete with the computer players on 100cc in all the other versions. In this one, winning on 150cc is easy for me, regardless of how difficult the track is. So don't get Mario Kart for the single player gameplay. Regardless, multiplayer is a lot of fun.

i think you should just buy both if you like them so much that's what i did
