''Super Mario Kart'' was adapted into a Japan-only arcade game developed by {{wp|Banpresto}} and {{wp|Atlus}} called ''[[Super Mario Kart Dokidoki Race]]'', released in 1994.<ref>[https://www.marioboards.com/index.php?topic=35637.msg1780735#msg1780735#msg1780735] Borp's coverage on Mario boards</ref> It was the first ''Mario Kart'' game to be released for arcades, predating ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' by eleven years. The playable characters are Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi and Bowser. The game requires a lot of yen to play and seems to operate on magnets to move the karts. The game also has a [[Cheep Cheep]] and [[Lakitu]]. There are five tracks in total, two in particular being the title screen music and Mario Circuit music. The latter track is sped up and has additional notes that play throughout the track as well as an ending note, while the former is slightly altered. A male announcer voice can also be heard throughout the gameplay. The other three tracks are a preparation track and two different victory themes.<ref>Super Mario Wiki (October 31, 2015).
