The originator of the 'mascot kart racer' revisited 0
Koopa Troopa never was one for listening to seat-belt safety instructionsSuper Mario Kart was a commercial smash hit in 1992 (1993 for Europe) and one of the most popular games on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Its unique spin on the arcade racer led to many copycats but no series has ever really been able to usurp the kart-racing genre grand-daddy.In past reviews I have spoken of the ‘time travel’ effect with some video games and how returning to an old favourite de...

Undoubtedly one of the greatest racing games of all time. 0
I was trying to think of a way to start this review, I usually start with a brief description of the game in question. However I really don’t see the point in this instance, I was trying to imagine a member of the prestigious Gamespot not knowing of Mario Kart and my brain just couldn’t comprehend such a preposterous thought. However pointless this is you will have to humour me, Mario Kart basically puts all your favourite Nintendo mascots into small go-karts and pits them against each other for...

Super Mario Kart is unbelievably fun! 0
Super Mario Kart came out in the second year of the Super Nintendo's life cycle, and looked really good, and played very well. You take control of one of eight Nintendo characters and race to the top in four different cups. Super Mario Kart pretty much invented the Kart genre, if not, made it what it was and balanced as well. If you go back and play this game nowadays, most people will realize that compared to Kart racers now, and even within the last decade, this game is no cake walk. Super Ma...

Super Mario Kart is a milestone when it comes to racing games. 0
What can be said about Super Mario Kart that most of us don't know already? I'd think very little; everybody knows this is a quality title. From small to big and young to old, the whole world knows Mario Kart and the quality it stands for. And that quality stands for dozens of hours in gameplay fun. That's why this review will mostly concentrate on the minor points that are lesser known from this crown jewel. First of all, let's hastily revise the strong poin...

A Genius Move No-one Else Saw 0
Nintendo re-package their franchises over and over but it almost never feels dated or overused. On the contrary, what Nintendo are masters of is taking a franchise and spinning it in a completely different direction. Mario Kart is such an odd concept I would love to know how this idea came around, but it's genius. The idea of bringing a racing game to the Mario franchise isn't exactly a fantastic concept on paper, but put in items from the Mario universe and you have one of the freshest ideas I ...

Super Mario Kart Review 0
It seems like the perfect idea, put the Mario characters in a kart racing game, but... how do you think of that? Especially in the format of Mario Kart. Mario Kart is a genius idea, so creative and appealing that the formula would be stolen by dozens of kart racers in the near future. Super Mario Kart goes down in history as one of the best spin-off ideas in video games.Mario Kart's soundtrack is playful and bouncy, taking some of its tracks from other Mario games. The great thing is because it...
