Nintendo Scene

Twenty years ago today Nintendo released a new type of racer onto the Super Nintendo. That racer was Super Mario Kart and twenty years on Mario and all his buddies are still sat in pole-position with players from around the world still enjoy his go-karting antics!

In twenty years we’ve had seven Mario Kart titles to enjoy spanning across seven different Nintendo consoles, each one bringing something new and memorable to the table! I remember enjoying the partnership gameplay in Mario Kart: Double Dash; playing online for the first time in Mario Kart DS; parasailing over the other racers in Mario Kart 7; getting to grips with the Wii Wheel controls on Mario Kart Wii; and I think everyone remembers the first time they were Blue Shelled on the final straight on Mario Kart 64…

What a way to spend twenty years! It’s great to look back on the series and see just how far it has come! Happy 20th Anniversary Mario Kart! Here’s to twenty more years!
