Written a retrospective review in November 2017, Martin Watts from ''N64 Today'' opined that the game is very light in content in comparison to later ''Mario Kart'' entries and called the single-player Grand Prix mode "a dull and repetitive slog," though he notes that Versus and Battle Modes offer "an abundance of hilarious, chaotic fun" with multiple players and that its battle mode is the main reason players play ''Mario Kart 64'' many years after its release.<ref>Watts, Mattis.

However, he has criticized the rubberbanding AI, noting that its implementation "cheapens the experience somewhat" and that players cannot outpace the AI using a higher speed character. He additionally criticized the game's controls as "slippery." At the end, he summarized the game as a mixed experience. | Written a retrospective review in November 2017, Martin Watts from ''N64 Today'' opined that the game is very light in content in comparison to later ''Mario Kart'' entries and called the single-player Grand Prix mode "a dull and repetitive slog," though he notes that Versus and Battle Modes offer "an abundance of hilarious, chaotic fun" with multiple players and that its battle mode is the main reason players play ''Mario Kart 64'' many years after its release.<ref>Watts, Mattis.
