I like at the Mario Karts I've played, but my favorite would have to be 64, followed by Double Dash. Mario Kart really needs a Tournament mode, where you race off based on how you did in the last cup. So if you finished 14th you'd race in a series against the third place finisher, and the difference in points would translate into a head start for the higher seed , with each point, meaning 1 second. Basically it would be a lap lead for the better racers.
