When Mario and company race around a track in highly
maneuverable go-karts, a good time is usually had by all.
Nintendo reprises the excitement and fever found in the
original SFC/SNES DSP-1 powered version with an improved 2001
model. Players may choose a racer from the standard stable of
characters such as Donkey Kong, Mario, and Mr. Toad - each
armed with a special attack. Donkey Kong chucks banana peels
which spin opponents for a loop and Bowser barks out
fireballs. The game scales and moves beautifully on the small
screen as the racers hurtle towards the finish line -
impressive, to say the least. Mario Kart Advance features the
ability to link/download with three other players for
competitive racing against your friends as well as
compatibility with the Mobile GB adaptor to add your moniker
to ranking lists in Japan. As the Mario games continue to hit
the GBA, Mario Party and Smash Bros would be good contenders
for consideration. |

Daily Journal... Day Ten |
July
19, 2001
Liz told me C-Bot wakes up every day at about
08:00AM and makes little noises. She hasn't noticed any
outbursts during the night but then again, she's a deep
sleeper and cannon-fire outside wouldn't stir her. So, we've
established that C-Bot maintains an internal clock which tells
it when to sleep and when to wake up. The only thing left to
figure out, at least for our purposes, is why it's mood
changes so dramatically.
