Hack description

Mario Kart 64: Death Race is rom hack for Mario Kart 64 inspired by the Death Race in F-Zero X. Each player gets 3 hit points (HP). Spin outs, hits, getting squished, or having Lakitu picking you up causes 1 HP worth of damage. If you have 1 HP left, you turn dark to indicate one more hit will kill you so be careful. Lose all your HP, you are dead, and the course restarts in GP mode. The race will not end until one player is left standing. Kill all the players and you win, and you go to the next course in GP mode. Death Race is playable in both GP and VS modes. Console compatible. Expansion pak required. Use "CPUs use human items" patch for more of a challenge. Use "Wii" patch for playing on Wii emulators. See readme for more details.

This is actually a very complex Nintendo 64 Gameshark code of over 1400 lines. The Google Sheet where the Death Race Gameshark code was developed can be found here to how it all works and learn how to modify it:

The patches were created by injecting the MK64 rom with the N64 Gameshark Code Injector:
