| Description Nintendo was a pioneer in many ways, and of the best examples is Super Mario Kart for the SNES. The "kart-racing" sub-genre didn't even exist before Mario and Bowser took to the miniaturized asphalt and dropped their banana peels for the first time. Since then, many clones have joined the karting club, but none have come close to the awesome balance and charm found in the original SNES classic. With wonderfully designed single-player levels (and many of them!) and the most addictive two-player battle mode to grace the platform, SMK will never be forgotten. It's always amazing when the first is still the best, and Super Mario Kart definitely deserves the title "amazing." Special Features Two gameplay modes; choose from eight drivers; 20 tracks; three skill levels; battery-backed memory to record your best times Warnings Suitable for All Ages

Top Reviews  SNES Super Mario Kart is fun for ALL AGES! 12 of 13 people found this review helpful. Super Mario Kart is a video game for the Super Nintendo System (or SNES) which was released in 1991. The game itself was released in the year 1992. It was a very popular game in North America and ended up being a "Player's Choice Million Seller Title". As well, it often ranks in the top 100 games, based on gamer's choice. The game Super Mario Kart is a car (or kart) racing game. In the game, you can play by yourself (against the computer) or with a friend...also trying to beat the computer's characters. You can race on one of 3 courses: Mushroom - Easy Flower - Intermediate Star - Difficult and there are 5 different tracks for each course. There are also 3 different speeds (or difficulty levels) to play at...50cc (easy), 100cc (intermediate) and 150cc (difficult). If you are able to place in the top 3 on the three 150cc courses, then you are awarded access to a SPECIAL track (the most difficult). You have 8 different characters to choose from, and all characters are familiar, if you have played Nintendo's signature "Mario" games before. Each character has a counterpart who is similar in skill. Sometimes it is a good idea if you are playing a 2-player game, to play the counterpart character to the racer your opponent has chosen (so you will both be evenly matched) The players are: Mario (all around average; very good; medium weight) Luigi (all around average; very good; medium weight) Princess (relatively fast; light weight) Yoshi (relatively fast; light weight) Toad (fast accelleration; low top-speed; super light weight) Koopa (fast accelleration; low top-speed; super light weight) Bowser (slow accelleration; fastest top speed; heavy weight) Donkey Kong Jr. (slow accelleration; fastest top speed; heavy weight) Aside from normal course racing, you can also play against your own fastest speed record (try to beat your own top speed) in the TIME TRIAL. No other players are on the course with you. Or you can play another player to try to get the top course record in the MATCH RACE. Or, you can play another player one-on-one in a fight to the finish with the BATTLE MODE. In Battle Mode, the opponents do not actually race each other. Instead, each player has 3 balloons surrounding their kart and the first person to lose their 3 balloons loses. (To play it is a lot more fun than to describe it). You have 4 different battle locations to choose from. All in all, the game is easy to play, and fun for all ages. From children, to teenagers, to adults, everyone will enjoy this game. It's an "oldie but a goodie". Review ID: 10000000003648403 Was this review helpful? Report this review Best multi player game!Review created: 08/16/07 by: 7 of 9 people found this review helpful.

Report this review  Just Ok...Review created: 05/16/07 by: 0 of 5 people found this review helpful. I like the game itself. I love the gaming system. I don't like the VERY POOR COSMETIC QUALITY, which in turn made the actual gameplay shitty (only works after about 30 attempts on/off, and freezes frequently. So its Ok.

This was actually the first game I ever had when my parents bought it bundled with our SNES back in 1992. There are three cup races that have 3 tracks each that can be played at 3 competitive levels! It is a game that can be played over and over in battle with two player and the CPUs without loss of interest! Review ID: 10000000008730981 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
