Summary

Super Mario Kart is a racing game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and the first game of the Mario Kart series, as well as the game that sets precedents to the fictional kart racing genre.

I know it's the beginning of an era but, a racing game where turn braking is mandatory but you're actively penalized for doing it? YIKES! Great idea, bad game.
