Description
About This Game
Select one of eight characters from the Mario™ series—offering a variety
of driving styles—and take on three championship cups in three different
kart classes. Win enough, and you'll unlock a fourth circuit: the
ultra-tough Special Cup. Crossing the finish line in first place isn't
an easy task, though, as each track has unique obstacles to conquer and
racers can obtain special power-ups that boost them to victory. With
more than 15 tracks to master and nearly endless replay value, Super
Mario Kart is classic gaming…with some banana peels thrown in for good
measure!
This game is only playable in 2D.This classic game is part of the Virtual Console service, which brings you great games created for consoles such as NES™, Super NES™ and Game Boy™ Advance. See more Virtual Console games for Nintendo 3DS.
