The first title in the Mario Kart series is Super Mario Kart which was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992. The development of the first game was overseen by Shigeru Miyamoto, the Japanese video game designer who created the original Super Mario Bros., as well as many other successful games for Nintendo. Darran Jones of NowGamer suggests that the original success of Super Mario Kart was the result of including characters previously seen in Mario Bros. games, while also being a new type of racing game. Gameplay Mario driving upside - down using the anti-gravity mechanic introduced in Mario Kart 8. In the Mario Kart series, players compete in go - kart races, controlling one of a selection of characters, typically from the Mario franchise. Up to twelve characters can compete in each race, the exact number varies between titles. One of the features of the series is the use of various power - up items obtained by driving into item boxes laid out on the course. These power - ups include mushrooms to give players a speed boost, Koopa Shells to be thrown at opponents, and banana peels and fake item boxes that can be laid on the course as hazards. The type of weapon received from an item box is often random, though sometimes influenced by the player 's current position in the race. For example, players lagging far behind may receive more powerful items while the leader will only receive small defensive items. Called rubber banding, this gameplay mechanism allows other players or computers a realistic chance to catch up to the leading player. As the series has progressed, each new installment has introduced new gameplay elements, such as new courses, items, modes, and playable characters. These changes include : Mario Kart 64 introduces 4 - player racing and 3D graphics. This game also introduced Wario and Donkey Kong as playable characters, as well as the blue shell as an item. Mario Kart : Super Circuit introduces the ability to unlock all of the Super Mario Kart tracks. Mario Kart : Double Dash ! ! features co-operative LAN play and two - player karts. It also introduces eleven new playable characters ( Princess Daisy, Birdo, Baby Mario, Baby Luigi, Paratroopa, Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr., Waluigi, Toadette, Petey Piranha, and King Boo ). The game also features special items that are specific to each character. Finally, this game introduced unlockable characters to the series. Mario Kart DS features dual - screen play and introduces online multiplayer ( via Wi - Fi ) & retro battle courses. Introduces Shy Guy ( exclusive to DS Download Play ), Dry Bones, and R.O.B. as playable characters. DS was also the first Mario Kart game to feature retro tracks from all previous versions of the game. It is, as of 2017, the only entry in the series to feature mission mode. It also introduces two new items : the Blooper and Bullet Bill. Mario Kart Wii features motion controls, performing tricks, 12 - player racing, and introduces motorbikes. Six new playable characters were introduced, being Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Rosalina, Funky Kong, Dry Bowser, and two outfits for Mii characters. It also introduced three new items : the Mega Mushroom, Thunder Cloud, and POW Block. Mario Kart 7 features stereoscopic 3D graphics, introduces hang gliding and submersible karts, and features an alternate first - person perspective and kart customization. Introduces Metal Mario, Lakitu, Wiggler, and Honey Queen as new playable characters. It is also the first Mario Kart game after Mario Kart : Double Dash ! ! not to feature Waluigi as a playable character. Mario Kart 8 features 200cc mode, anti-gravity racing, introduces ATVs, uploading highlights to YouTube via Mario Kart TV ( except on Switch ), up to four local players in Grand Prix races, downloadable content, and is the first in the series to boast HD graphics. Introduces the Koopalings, Baby Rosalina, and Pink Gold Peach as new playable characters, and Tanooki Mario, Cat Peach, Villager, Isabelle from Animal Crossing, and Link from The Legend of Zelda as new DLC playable characters. The Nintendo Switch version, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, also adds the Inkling Girl and Inkling Boy from Splatoon as playable characters for the first time in the series, as well as a new battle mode, `` Renegade Roundup '', which plays similarly to a game of tag. Courses Many course themes recur throughout the series. Most are based on an existing area in the Mario franchise ( Bowser 's Castle being among the most prominent ), but there are a number of courses that have not appeared elsewhere, but still belong in the Mushroom Kingdom, such as Rainbow Road. Each game in the series includes at least 16 original courses and up to 6 original battle arenas. Each game 's tracks are divided into four `` cups '', or groups in which the player has to have the highest overall placing to win. Most courses can be done in three laps. The first game to feature courses from previous games was Mario Kart : Super Circuit, which contained all of the tracks from the original Super NES game. Starting with Mario Kart DS, each entry in the series has featured 16 `` nitro '' ( courses belonging to its own game ) and 16 `` retro '' tracks ( courses from previous Mario Kart titles ), spread across four cups each with four races. In Mario Kart 8, 16 additional tracks are available across two downloadable packages, eight for each package downloaded, including seven retro courses, four original courses, and five courses based on other Nintendo franchises, including Excitebike, F - Zero, The Legend of Zelda, and Animal Crossing. Modes of play Each installment features a variety of different modes. The following four modes recur most often in the series : Grand Prix -- Players compete in various `` cups, '' groups of four courses each ( five in Super Mario Kart ) with difficulty levels based on the size of the engine, larger engines meaning faster speeds. Before Mario Kart 8 there were four difficulties : 50 cc, 100cc, 150cc, and 150cc Mirror ( courses that are mirrored in terms of direction ). Mario Kart 8 added a fifth difficulty level : 200cc. Players earn points according to their finishing position in each race and the top three players with the most points overall will receive a trophy. Time Trials -- The player races alone in order to finish any course in the fastest time possible. The best time is then saved as a ghost, which the player can race against in later trials. Since Mario Kart : Double Dash ! !, a new function called Staff Ghosts is introduced, Staff Ghosts are members of the Nintendo team that set staff times for one to try and beat. One 's personal best has to be better than the staff time of a ghost in order to unlock Expert Staff Ghosts, which only appeared in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 7, which in turn unlock characters, vehicles, or stamps, in addition to viewing ghost data. VS Race -- Multiple human players race against each other on any course with customized rules such as team racing and item frequency. The mode also includes single - player VS races and CPU controlled players to compete in VS races as well since Mario Kart DS ( except for Mario Kart 7 ). Super Circuit, however, features a Quick Run mode, which shares similarities with VS mode. Battle -- Multiple human players use racing items to battle each other in a closed arena. Each player starts with three balloons and loses a balloon with every hit sustained ; the last player possessing at least one balloon wins. Different battle types were added as the series progressed, as well as single - player battles. Starting with Mario Kart Wii, there is a time limit for each battle. For Mario Kart 8, the battles take place on race courses. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe reintroduces arena - style tracks.
