The games play significantly different, especially the battle modes. Super Mario Kart battle mode feels absolutely nothing like the Mario Kart 64 battle mode, which is a good thing as far as I'm concerned because I don't like the Super Mario Kart battle mode much and lose interest in it fast while I can never get enough of the Mario Kart 64 battle mode.

The Mario Kart series in general is kinda lame if you never do any multiplayer, but I guess if you're going to stick to single-player, then Super Mario Kart is the best one to go with. The cups in Mario Kart 64 are much too easy, even on the highest difficulty level.
