Mario Kart is one of the most beloved game series around. It pioneered a whole subgenre thanks to its item design. The series has had 30 years of little tweaks to its item system that have added up to big changes. Let's take a tour of the 8 mainline Mario Kart games, look at their item design, and see how Nintendo has made something both accessible and timeless.
Featuring:
Super Mario Kart
Mario Kart 64
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
Mario Kart Double Dash!!!
Mario Kart DS
Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart 7
Mario Kart 8 and 8 Deluxe
There are a billion items in some of the arcade games, maybe that'll be a future episode.
