In ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'', rivals contain one very fast driver, one fast driver, one medium driver, one slow driver and three very slow drivers. It is notable that when one of the three slowest drivers gets hit, that kart will keep its place, while when one of the faster cars gets shot, it will usually resume its previous place very quickly unless unable to catch up fast enough before the race ends. For this reason, the drivers (except the human racer) will (if unaffected) always finish in the exact same order. If the human-controlled player tries to hit an opponent, said opponent jumps over the item a majority of the time. The rivals are also not determined in pairs, so that even if [[Donkey Kong Jr]]. is [[Mario]]'s rival, Mario will not be Donkey Kong Jr.'s rival, as shown in the table below.
