Summary

Super Mario Kart is a racing game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the first game of the Mario Kart series, as well as the game that sets precedents to the fictional kart racing genre. Part of this game is heavily based on Super Mario World in terms of graphics and overall theme. Using Mode 7 scaling, the first true kart game on the SNES has you collecting coins to boost your speed while using shells and bananas to stop others on the track.

I know it's the beginning of an era but, a racing game where turn braking is mandatory but you're actively penalized for doing it? YIKES! Great idea, bad game.

Trying to keep the times in mind, this was insanely impressive but becomes boring fast. Still impressive of course

This was an incredibly frustrating experience, the controls are good though, and the tracks while repeating are still pretty fun, but man was this game hard to 100%
