I will say that the battle mode is probably the best in the franchise, as balloon battle turns into a game of manhunt.ĥ: Mario Kart 7: Virtually the exact opposite of 64: the mechanics are buttery smooth, but the soul just isn’t there. Drifting does not want to follow your wishes, and you don’t get that satisfying feeling of speed when you perform a terrific drift. It loses points for having those micro transactions though.Ħ: Mario Kart 64: A very charming game, but the racing is a bit janky. All the remixed courses are so fun, and having a mobile version of Mario Kart is good. I haven’t spent a dime, and I have plenty of characters, karts and gliders, and can get 5 stars every once in a while. No big standouts, but nothing bad either.ħ: Mario Kart Tour: I really like this game. The modes are fine, but some of the track design is also lacking, like the literal dead end in one of the Bowser Castle courses.Ĩ: Mario Kart: Super Circuit: Feels much better to control, and the track design is good. Here’s mine:ĩ: Super Mario Kart: Has aged like a fine brick tbh, it just doesn’t feel great to control. The 3DS Ambassador and Wii U Virtual Console re-releases lacked any multiplayer features, so make sure you go for the original game on original GBA hardware if multiplayer is your thing (which, with Mario Kart, it really should be).
#MARIO SKAT SERIES#
The fun foundation was there at the very beginning of the series and it's definitely there in the GBA version. Sure, the visual style has arguably aged worse than the SNES version, but this pint-sized speed-fest packs in plenty of content. The integrity of its gameplay holds up well nowadays and it serves as a great 'successor' to the original.
#MARIO SKAT PORTABLE#
The portable was only really capable of replicating the performance of the SNES - it certainly wasn't up to the standard of the N64 or GameCube - so Mario Kart Super Circuit ended up feeling like the Super Mario Kart sequel we never got on Nintendo's 16-bit console. Those fans who loved the flat tracks and tight power-sliding gameplay of the original Super Mario Kart were pleased as punch when Nintendo confirmed that it was bringing the series to the Game Boy Advance with a more 'retro' look.

#MARIO SKAT UPGRADE#
We've also lumped both Mario Kart 8 and its Deluxe Switch upgrade together to keep things tidy. We have added the mixed reality racer Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit and the mobile-only Mario Kart Tour, though. But, you may well ask, which one is best? That's not an easy question to answer in a series of solid gold console classics, so we turned to you, dear readers, to rate and rank every game in the series.īefore you ask, no we've not included the arcade entries, because we like being stubborn traditionalists at Nintendo Life). Since then, Mario Kart has become one of Nintendo's most successful properties and has sold in excess of 160 million copies worldwide across all titles. As you might expect, when these same nay-sayers actually got to play it, they changed their tune. Sure, Mario had appeared in other games, but his forte was 2D platformers – he had no place on the racing track, and Super Mario Kart was initially viewed as a questionable attempt to shoe-horn the famous mascot into a genre where he simply didn't belong. Enjoy!īack when Nintendo announced the very first Mario Kart game in the early '90s, there were some in the industry who proclaimed it as a sign that the veteran firm had finally lost its marbles.
