Hey everyone! This game has been chosen by Rayne and is the ever famous Super Mario kart on the snes. Released in 1992 and made by Hideki Konno and Tadashi Sugiyama as directors (Miyamoto produced).
There's plenty of info about it here.

Please feel free to discuss the game, tracks, characters etc. Post your fastest lap times and if it's possible on a snes emulator, organise online matches.

I would always play this game at my aunt's house. It's a fun game, but I prefer the newer games of the series (Double Dash, DS, Wii). With that aside, I wasn't the best player. Always played 50cc because I liked taking the easy way out of games (that was then; now, I challenge myself ;)). The multiplayer was also fun. Always played as Mario because 1) he was my favorite, and 2) he was just about the only character I knew of the Mario series (I was very young when I played it (born in '93), cut me some slack). Now I usually play as Yoshi or Toad.

And about the online play: With the ZSNES emulator, there is a way how to play online, but I don't know how to do it. I'll read up on it in the readme files.

You just open a port and make a TCP/IP connection with another player. Or you can use SNES9X and use the Kaillera client but that's often a real pain.

Man I loved this game, played it to death. Shame my favourite racer constantly gets removed from the roster, seriously what's Nintendo's problem with Koopa Troopa.

The game that started the kart craze. The Best Kart Game Ever!! My favorite characters are Mario and Koopa Troopa. And to me Rainbow Road is my favorite track to play and also my fav. theme.

Super Mario Kart is a cool racing game. I always played it back then.

I used to play it with Koopa Troopa, since it has the best brake, Bowser and DKJ were two characters I didnīt like it, it was almost impossible to beat the cup with them.
Nowadays I tend to play it (when I play it) with the majority of them, Bowser and DKJ still are not for my liking.

I donīt find nothing fair the GP on 150cc in the Star Cup and Special Cup, today itīs still very very hard.

Some of my favorites circuits:
- Rainbow Road
- Bowser Castle
- Vanilla Lake

Some of my favorites music:
- Rainbow Road
- The Staff Roll
- Battle Mode

Well, I like everything about this game.

An amazing song to close my comment, I guess I must play this stage and post my record.

This game was amazing apart from the steering, you would skid far too much.

I only played Super Mario Kart for the first time a few months ago, great game :) if I'd had this as a kid I imagine it'd be played to death.

Loving the Koopa Troopa :D and lack of double team karts/bikes/drifting on straights

I never played Mario kart till years later when I was older and started collecting consoles as I was a sega fan boy as a kid. Love it though. Had a quick blast on multiplayer on friday with a mate and it's still fun to play with friends.

I always found it to be too slow.
