Undo revision 3592998 by 35.136.180.207 (talk) I wouldn't say it's "notable" for that, and this doesn't seem like opening material anyway
(This the only Mario Kart game where Wario isn’t playable) |

'''''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 | '''''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.
