Swiping that pixely checkered flag in the #42 position...
Super MarioKart
When you get invited to the Racing Game Party (What? That’s totally a thing), Mario Kart is the friend you invite along because you know he’ll do something absolutely insane that everyone will be talking about the next day. Most racing games are about the realism of the cars, about physics and speed, but the most fun I’ve ever had in car-based games are ones that skew more towards Rush and it’s sequels. What started this line of non-realistic racers, for me at least, was Super Mario Kart on the glorious Super Nintendo. Racing with friends didn’t just mean ‘go faster than them’ anymore. It meant do everything you can to mess with your friends on the way.
