With its advanced graphical images and use of Mode 7 texture mapping, Super Mario Kart is the third best-selling game on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. With a split screen view, players can view the top portion as the course and the bottom of the screen in a rear-view mirror perspective or an overhead shot of the entire track. In the multiplayer mode, the second player views the bottom screen version. In this 4 megabit cartridge video game, challenge yourself or build upon your skills in the Grand Prix, where in the first single player mode – the player races against seven computer-controlled drivers. You can choose from engine classes such as 50cc, 100cc, and 150cc. The larger the engine, the faster vehicles, which also means the harder the level.
