Mario Kart: Hot Pursuit (series)

Mario Kart: Hot Pursuit is a racing franchise by Clover Entertainment. It is the only branch of the Mario Kart series to contain real world cars, such as the Ford Mustang, Dodge Caravan, and Chevrolet Camaro. It also incorporated street races and cop chases, the latter not returning in Mario Kart: Hot Pursuit 3 or any future games. This fact has given the series much criticism from critics on Fantendo, with most of them saying this strays too far away from the original concept of Mario Kart. The series has spawned 3 games, with a fourth in development.
