First, I went with Toad because he had great manoeuvrability and decent acceleration. Along the way, I tried all 8 characters to get a feel for which one was best for me. Seriously?! Woohoo, all 4 golds in 100cc are mine!īefore writing this retrospective, I tried to complete all 4 cups on 100cc thus unlocking 150cc. By the way, it's possible to gain a speed boost at the start of each race but I never managed to do it even once. Bumping a wall or hitting Bowser for the fourth time only to be knocked back into sixth place made me want to punch the TV sometimes but that's just typical Mario Kart, I suppose. I found myself sliding for way too long after power slides and sometimes, I would fly to the right when I tried to hop left. On the downside, the controls are not as well polished as the rest of the Mario Kart series. You can also pick up coins off the ground by driving over them and they grant a small speed boost for each one that you're carrying with 10 being the maximum. If you ever played a Mario Kart game, you probably know what these do already. In GP (the main single player mode), there are 8 items that you can find in item blocks: green shell, red shell, banana, feather, mushroom, star, lightning, and coin. Bowser's Castle is always hectic but I'm not losing this time! You definitely need to be careful on the more slippery courses because you might end up heading in the wrong direction or into a pool of water. Some courses are more slippery than others as Mario circuit, Bowser castle, and Ghost valley have the highest traction while Vanilla Lake is the most slippery. For example, there are 4 Mario circuits and 3 Bowser castles. There are 4 cups to master and each one has 5 courses for a total of 20 but some courses share the same theme. For instance, Toad tries to hit you with poison mushrooms while Bowser tries to hit you with fireballs. Each character does certain things when controlled by the computer, too. Mario and Luigi are middleweight, Peach and Yoshi have fast acceleration, Bowser and DK Junior have slow acceleration but high max speed, and Koopa and Toad have the best steering. There are 8 characters and each one has special properties when you play as them. I definitely enjoyed the chaotic gameplay but at times, it can be more frustrating than fun, especially when you're going for gold medals. Also, Super Mario Kart stands out from the crowd because of enhancements like power-ups and power slides. You accelerate with B, steer with the D-pad, and you're ready to go. Anyway, Super Mario Kart is simple to pick up and play which is part of the appeal of most Mario games. There are no items in F-Zero but at least you can make the Blue Falcon explode if you like exploding things. I've also tried F-Zero but unfortunately, I don't find it to be as fun as Super Mario Kart. Super Mario Kart is the only one to feature the Mario crew and one of the very few made by Nintendo. Racing is a crowded genre on the NES and SNES but sadly, I haven't played most of them. □ The start of each race is always the most stressful part │ We love to hear from our visitors even if you disagree so please leave a respectful comment after reading this article. Super Mario Kart was the first Mario Kart game which is a series that still sells millions of copies so let's see how it holds up today. Written by Alex Legard for Retrospectives on May 6, 2019
