This game, along with its sequel, was possibly an ancestor to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, most likely due to the fact that it features Mario and possesses similar 2D racing mechanics, which was later carried on to ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. In the game, Mario is the player's driver, wearing the same color as the vehicle he drives; his likeness is also used for his pit crew, with all but the crew chief also wearing the car's color. | This game, along with its sequel, was possibly an ancestor to the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, most likely due to the fact that it features Mario and possesses similar 2D racing mechanics, which was later carried on to ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''.
