 '''''Super Mario Kart''''' is a [[Genre#Racing|racing]] game for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], which was first released in 1992 and re-released in 1996 as a [[Player's Choice]] title, being the first title in the line up. Unlike the other racing games at the time, which focused on single-player racing with more complicated tracks, ''Super Mario Kart'' was focused on two players and was designed to be an easy and intuitive "pick up and play" experience that heavily involves the use of acquiring weapons on an obstacle course-like track to impede another player's progress. The development of a one-on-one [[Battle Mode]] was invented as another way to enjoy the competitive aspects of the game. Another notable aspect of the game is its {{wp|Mode 7}} graphics, where the game simulates a 3D plane by rotating and scaling a background graphic on a scanline-by-scanline basis, allowing players to simulate driving in a 3D environment. Much of this game is heavily based on ''[[Super Mario World]]'' with both graphics and general themes being taken from this game. This includes sprites reusing assets from ''Super Mario World'' as well as the game's soundtrack rearranging several ''Super Mario World'' melodies.
-The game's success spawned the hugely influential [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], while also helping to pioneer the kart-racing genre. The game's success has also influenced the greater [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' series]], with elements from it appearing throughout the Mario franchise. Examples of these kinds of elements include [[Mount Must Dash|a level designed after Super Mario Kart's courses]] appearing in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' as well as [Rainbow Road] making an appearance in ''[Paper Mario: Color Splash]''. Super Mario Kart's use of a wider cast of characters such as [[Bowser]] and [[Peach]] has likely influenced the creation of later multiplayer-oriented ''Mario'' spin-off titles that included a large, playable cast of ''Mario'' characters such as the [[Mario Tennis (series)|''Mario Tennis'']] and [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'']]. Additionally, the game has been ranked as one of the greatest games of all time by various organizations due to its aformentioned legacy and its ground-breaking gameplay.
