-'''''Super Mario Kart''''' is a [[Genre#Racing|racing]] game for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], which was first released in 1992 and re-released in 1996 as a [[Player's Choice]] title, being the first title in the line up. Unlike the other racing games at the time, which focused on single-player racing with more complicated tracks, ''Super Mario Kart'' was focused on two players and was designed to be an easy and intuitive "pick up and play" experience that heavily involves the use of acquiring weapons on an obstacle course-like track to impede another player's progress. The development of a one-on-one [[Battle Mode]] was invented as another way to enjoy the competitive aspects of the game. Another notable aspect of the game is its {{wp|Mode 7}} graphics, where the game simulates a 3D plane by rotating and scaling a background graphic on a scanline-by-scanline basis, allowing players to simulate driving in a 3D environment. Much of this game is heavily based on ''[[Super Mario World]]'' with both graphics and general themes being taken from this game. This includes sprites reusing assets from ''Super Mario World'' as well as the game's soundtrack rearranging several ''Super Mario World'' melodies.

 Players select a ''Super Mario'' character out of a cast of eight [[#Drivers|characters]] with which to race (or battle in Battle Mode) against opponents; each racer has their own stats which determine how they control, though these are not displayed in-game. Players then race or battle against their opponents, depending upon which game mode is chosen. Integral to the gameplay is the item system, where players can pick up items from [[? Panel|Question Blocks]] clustered around parts of the track. The item obtained is dependent on the player's position in the race. For example, players farther behind obtain stronger items such as the invincible, speed-raising [[Star]] or the [[Lightning]] that can shrink all racers, while players farther ahead receive the basic [[Banana Peel]]s and [[Green Shell]]s items. Question Blocks get depleted whenever a player runs over them, and they do not respawn their items until all Question Blocks in the track have been depleted.
