No. 13: Mario Kart 7 – 100 Greatest Games Ever
Who would have thought that the best racing series would involve turtle shells and bananas? Mario Kart's brilliance is that it would work even without its star performances. Fast-paced racing action, power-ups and shortcuts make for a thrilling (and more than slightly ridiculous) experience.
Every subsequent Mario Kart game has been somewhat of a remake of the last one and the classic boards included here are more proof of that. Online multiplayer and customizable vehicles ensure you'll keep playing this one.
