No, I don't own any Mario Kart games. The only Kart game I have is DKR for the N64, and its a pretty good game... I have played Mario Kart 64 a bunch, though. Good game... too easy, and too short, to really make it worth buying, but a good game (that's why I got DKR -- dramatically better single player).
Why is it probably not worth full price? I don't know... it looks like its good, I think kart racers are fun... not as fun as futuristic/arcade ones, of course, but fun. But $50? Seems like a lot for the game... some games are worth that kind of money, but not so sure about that one. Though, I might end up getting it at that price anyway if I don't get it as a gift... :)
But if I was going to the store to buy a racer (a month from now), I'd seriously look at XGRA first. For one thing I think it might be launching at $30...
