Super Mario Kart + Mario Kart: Super Circut

Hello Everybody. Let's get started shall we?


                                         

Today's Topic: SUPER Mario Karts. Are they so super?


Lets begin with Super Mario Kart.

This is the original. The FIRST EVER Mario Kart game.  A true classic. But..... It isn't exactly the best.

Let me show you a gameplay screenshot:


                                           


See what I mean?  2 screens on an old home console? Wow.

Then there's the tracks. 20 courses and 8, yes I said 8 maps.

How does this work? Well, you take the maps and put them in different layouts.

BOOM! You now have a game. Now you know why tracks have names like this:

                       

But it is the first Mario Kart game.  So it's not too bad.


Next up: Mario Kart Super Circuit


                                         


This game, as you can see is for the Game Boy Advance.  It's also the first handheld Mario Kart Game.

MKSC has many of the same features as Super Mario Kart with a few new additions:

1. New Tracks!  This time every single track is different with the exception of Bowser's Castle.

2. New Items. Triple Shells and Shrooms were added in.

3. New Characters. Wario and Donkey Kong are Characters in this game.

4. A Larger Use of Shortcuts.  There are way more shortcuts than in SMK that appear in levels like Sky Garden and Shy Guy Beach.

And finally:

5. Better Graphics.  Although this game may be a handheld it has much better graphics than the original. Here, take a look:


                                              


Now compare this with the SMK picture above. See the difference?

Although these games aren't what you might call "super" they are milestones for Nintendo and fun games.

Thanks for reading! And look for my next post soon! Bye!
