Super Mario Kart Super Nintendo

Super Mario Kart is a kart racing game developed by Nintendo EAD and originally published for SNES in 1992. As the first title in the long-running Mario Kart franchise, it serves as the basic template for all future series entries and popularized the kart racing genre, spawning many imitators with similar aesthetics and gameplay. Players choose from eight Mario-related characters, each with distinct handling characteristics, before racing in one of several competitive modes. Power-up items, a staple feature of the series, typically factor heavily into the outcome of each race.
