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.
