Mario Kart Arcade GP
October 10, 2005 Arcade Machine	Mario Kart Arcade GP was the first Mario Kart title to be developed by Namco and the first game in the series for arcades, released in 2005. Designed for Nintendo's Triforce arcade board, Mario Kart Arcade GP features 11 playable characters and 24 tracks. As in other arcade racing games, players are required to drive to the goal under a limited amount of time. The machine also features many more items than the Nintendo titles, and houses a camera that will take a photograph of the player's face to display above the player-character during multiplayer races. This is the first Mario Kart game where characters originating from outside the Super Mario franchise and its sub-series are playable, as three characters from the Pac-Man games, namely Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, and the ghost Blinky, are playable.
Mario Kart Arcade GP 2
2007 Arcade Machine	Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 was released to arcades initially in 2007. It features the same playable characters as its predecessor, but also adds Waluigi and crosses over Mametchi from the Tamagotchi series (the former being previously playable in the main Mario Kart series, and the latter making their only Super Mario appearance overall). This game also introduces unique karts for each character, as in the main games from Mario Kart DS onward; more items unseen in the main installments; and color commentary, which can be toggled on or off at any time prior to starting the race.
Mario Kart Arcade GP DX
July 25, 2013 Arcade Machine	Mario Kart Arcade GP DX is the third Mario Kart game for arcades, released in 2013. It adds Mario Kart 7's gliders^[1] and submersible karts, plus new playable characters to the arcade installments, Bowser Jr., Rosalina, Metal Mario, Baby Mario, Baby Peach, Daisy, King Boo and Lakitu, the latter seven being characters added through game updates (while King Boo could only be obtained through a limited-time event). Additionally, Don-chan crosses over from the Taiko no Tatsujin series, and Pac-Man is redesigned to use his appearance from the animated television show Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. Two new modes are introduced as well: "Alter-Ego", which uses online functionality to allow players to race against ghosts set by other players; and "Team", which allows two players to face against two computer-controlled opponents, and combine their karts to form a more powerful vehicle.
Mario Kart Arcade GP VR
July 14, 2017 Arcade Machine	Mario Kart Arcade GP VR is a Mario Kart arcade game for virtual reality arcades, released by Bandai Namco in Japan.^[2] Instead of using Item Boxes, the game uses balloons to store items, and the player must make hand motions to use items (differing depending on which item is being used). Four arcade cabinets are present in a given location, each one having a different playable character (Mario, Luigi, Peach, or Yoshi); Bowser and Wario also appear as CPU opponents in races despite not being playable.
