Read the story of how Super Mario Kart was created here. Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Splattered with shortcuts and tricks, Double Dash felt like a imaginative world you could explore for hours.

While its position in this list as number 2 may be controversial to some, I believe it is fully warranted due to the big step away from what we perceived as the traditional Mario Kart experience.
This game moved us more into the territory of insanely fun co-op gameplay. The hilarity — and at times, rage — that ensues when your friend accidentally dashed you both off the edge makes this one a classic choice for get-togethers and parties. It is also because of how the gameplay revolves around this idea that characters have specific items to use against competitors. Chasing your friends who are out in front with the Chain Chomp is an experience you have to have first-hand to truly appreciate.
And on top of this the experience, the kart will actually be affected realistically depending on the size of the backseat passenger. Add to all of that the high quality levels you see here and Double Dash really offers a complete Mario Kart package.
Taking everything that has made Mario Kart the hugely successful series that it is, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe rolls them all up into one immensely entertaining game. And you can glide through the air as if you were truly flying which is another added feature from later games. The anti-gravity mechanic which was introduced in the prior title Mario Kart 8 is improved in this game as the levels include new innovative ways to drive on walls, ceilings, and any other solid surface you can think of.
Now gameplay aside, the visuals here are gorgeous and truly show off the game in a way no other title has been able to. Flying through the air will make you want to stop and take a look around at the magical surroundings and highly detailed racers and karts.
Great music, great visuals, and super fun gameplay mechanics. These all add up to one enjoyable experience either playing solo or with friends. Moving from England to Spain at the age of 22, Sam is a keen language learner and sports enthusiast.

This game also saw the characters Donkey Kong Jr. As of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe , every course in the N64 classic has been reintroduced in a later game with the exception of Wario Stadium. Mario Kart 8 released on the Wii U not to be confused with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe , later released for the Nintendo Switch and gave players a crazy amount of new characters across multiple Nintendo properties, 12 cups containing four courses each, and some of the most stunning graphics in the series.
While the game received generally positive reviews, it did garner criticism for transforming racing tracks into battle courses, rather than adding new ones like in previous entries of the series.
Despite this, Mario Kart 8 became the best-selling Wii U game by shipping over 8 million copies. Mario Kart 7 raced onto the Nintendo 3Ds in , adding some new dimensions to the long-standing series. The gameplay got a solid update. Players could also customize their vehicles for the first time ever, which was tied to another new feature: hang-gliders. Racers could soar through the air on certain courses and rush their way through bodies of water on others for the first time ever. All this and more helped Mario Kart 7 see its way to the top of the best-selling games list for games released on the Nintendo 3Ds.
And being the instigator of the entire series, in many ways the purest expression of the original vision, it felt wrong putting it any lower. Where once it was a pioneer of 3D multiplayer gaming, now it just looks like shit and has a surprisingly high number of empty, boring tracks. Also, this is the game that introduced the blue shell.
But can we just take a step back and appreciate its online play? This was a DS game, from , made by Nintendo, and to play it online was both a breeze and an absolute joy. Mario Kart DS was the first game in the series to open us up to a whole world, quite literally, of Mario Kart in a way that not even some more recent home console titles have managed.
Can we just start this one by saying that more Mario Karts outside of VR experiences need first-person racing? Anyway, Mario Kart 7 had a lot more to offer than just that gimmick.
