Super Mario Kart

I'm pretty sure this is an Snes game. I don't know if I'll download this game is it worth it? But I have a question is this game the same as super mario kart for the gba?

No Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart Super Circuit are different games.

I'm interested in this game, as it's the only released Marik Kart game I haven't played and the one that started it all. Hopefully it comes out soon!

i played it recently through means of questionable legality, and i have to say, its really showing its age graphically. what i remember of it when i was younger doesnt compare to what i played recently.

there are games that have held up very nicely like Super Metroid, or the Sonics, Super Mario World, ect.

sadly, Mario Kart wasnt one of them.

No, but all the SNES Tracks can be found in the GBA Version.

Mario Kart on GBA is more similar to Mario Kart 64, I think.

Also, I'm not going to bother with any MK VC titles as Mario Kart Wii comes out next spring!

Super Mario Kart (SNES) and Mario Kart Super Circuit (GBA) are very similiar in graphic style / track design.

Mario Kart 64 (N64), Mario Kart Double Dash (GC) and Mario Kart DS are real 3D.

Fans of Super Mario Kart were disappointed when the second game Mario Kart 64 came out in 1997, don't know why, maybe because SMK was a hardcore racing game and MK64 was just easy. Anyway, MK64 did so much better, with 4 players and real 3D tracks.

Today new age gamers seem to love MK64 more than SMK.
Anyway, SMK got much love at the time, and it's still one of the best racing games on the SNES.

I still prefer SMK to MK64 and MK: DD. MK: DS is great though. I'll pick SMK up when it hits the VC.

All the Mario Karts are worth getting, but yes, I was one of those guys who loved the SNES one to bits, played it to death with anyone willing to step near the console, and was strangely horrified by the 64 version.

The tracks are long and empty (apart from Moo Moo Farm and the Special Cup tracks, none are all that memorable), the karts are slower, I finished the single player in 3 days (without mastering any of the shortcuts), 4-player mode was strangely lifeless without music and the Blue Shell is just cheap.

Sorry to say, but I always thought Diddy Kong Racing was better than MK64, even though the multiplayer arenas aren't up to much.

However, I still downloaded MK64 and enjoyed playing through again, even though it did reinforce all my old beliefs. It's fun, but the weakest of the Mario Karts. However, ask me again once Super Mario Kart is downloadable - my memory may be ever so slightly rose-tinted.

I played Super Mario Kart a couple of moths ago, to me it has been one of my favorite games of all time.
