Super Mario Kart: Doki Doki Race is a medal game based on Super Mario Kart that was released in 1994.

A similar game, Go! Go! Mario Circuit, was presumably released the same year. However, it is unknown if this is a prototype or not.

GameplayEdit

 
Close-up of the machine

The game depicts Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, and Yoshi in their karts on a track shaped similarly to SNES Mario Circuit 1. A Lakitu and Cheep Cheep can be seen in the middle of the track, and a Monty Mole pops up from a hole when the race begins. Players bet on which character will win, and the winner receives a payout.[1] Karts can slow down, speed up, skid, and spin out.

An arrangement of Super Mario Kart's title screen music plays while players are placing bets, and a sped-up version of Mario Circuit's theme music plays when the karts are driving.

Pre-release and unused contentEdit

 
The 1993 build as seen in a magazine

Before the game was released, a prototype of it was shown off in a 1993 issue of a magazine. The track layout is the same with some differences in the middle of the track, such as the Cheep Cheep flying higher and the absence of the Monty Mole. The color of the road near the finish line is also different, being various patterns of red and yellow.
