Released in 1992 by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development, Super Mario Kart is an arcade racing game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the first entry in the long-running Mario Kart series. It established the foundations of the kart racing genre, drawing heavily from Super Mario World in its visual style and thematic presentation. The game employs the SNES's Mode 7 scaling technology to render its tracks with a distinctive pseudo-3D perspective. Players compete across a series of circuits, collecting coins to increase their speed while deploying items such as shells and banana peels to hinder opponents. The title was later made available on the Wii, Wii U, and New Nintendo 3DS through Nintendo's digital distribution services. Its combination of accessible racing mechanics and competitive item-based gameplay set a template that influenced the kart racing genre as a whole.
