**Minecraft Kart 1: Super Minecraft Kart** is the first installment in the Minecraft Kart series (this means it starts the Minecraft Kart series), releasing exclusively for the Playstation 3, and is a reference to Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It released on October 14, 2002 in Japan, November 4, 2002 for Europe and April 24, 2003 for America. This game introduces 12 player racing. This game also has 36 characters and 36 items. This game not only has the least characters, but it is also the game with the least items.

#### **Grand Prix**

In this mode, the mobs get to participate in four cups; the Mushroom Cup, the Flower Cup, the Star Cup and the Special Cup. The top 5 racers get trophies: Platinum Trophy for 1st, Gold Trophy for 2nd, Silver Trophy for 3rd, Bronze Trophy for 4th, and Copper Trophy for 5th. Mobs who earn 6th place or lower aren't rewarded with a trophy, and instead they applause for the top 5 racers. Similarly, 7th-12th place forces the mob to restart the race. There are 5 races per cup.

Green: 1st place, winning results and cheering. Winning music.

Yellow: 2nd to 6th place, moderate results.

Red: 7th to 12th place, losing results. Also forces the player to restart the race. If the player fares this badly four times, they will need to restart the cup.

#### **Time Trail**

In this mode, Mobs get to set and beat their record.

#### **Multiplayer**

In this mode, Mobs get to play four modes: Vs Race, Vs Grand Prix, Balloon Battle and Coin Runners.

### **Trivia**

Until Update 1.06, this game has the smallest roster, having only 12 characters. In that update, there are 36 characters.

Every racer in this game is a male.

There is some unused content in this game.

This is the first game to ban females as racers.

Highland Woman appears to be a race announcer all of the installments. This is one of only three games for her to have one role. She has two roles starting with Minecraft Kart 4: Double Dash. This is also the only game for her to use the Thundercloud to destroy the 7th-12th place racers.

This game is a reference to Super Mario Kart for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

The European version of this game released on the same date as Ratchet and Clank's Playstation 2 release in North America: November 4, 2002.

This game is unique as it is the only game to not have retro courses, the only game to have 5 laps in a race, and the only game to lack unlockable characters.

This is also the only game not to feature the Cape Feather, but it will be seen after this game.

The Blue Spiny Shell (which will always have wings) is the rarest item in this game, meaning only 12th place can get this item.
