GAME INFORMATION

 

Overview / Storyline

The original Super Mario Kart was ground-breaking, the first of its kind in many ways. Never before had a "kart racer" genre emerged til Mario and the gang hit the road. The original Mario Kart featured the following modes:-

  • Time Trial - try to beat your own previous best times!

  • Grand prix - choose from a selection of cups to race computer opponents

  • Battle mode - Burst your opponents balloons before they burst yours to win!

Mario Kart is hours and hours of fun as a single player game, and even more so if you bring a friend!

From the Super Mario Kart manual

Hi everybody! Thanks for dropping to by the Super Mario Kart race track. My name is Lakitu, I run this track. If you need my help, I'll be around.

We race one seater, metal pipe frame go carts here. There are two engine sizes to choose from: 50cc or 100cc. All of
the go carts are more or less the same, it's the individual drivers that make the difference when it comes to winning. Each driver has their strengths and weaknesses. Try using different drivers until you find the best one for you.
