'''''Super Mario Kart''''' is a [[Genre#Racing games|racing game]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. The game was first released in 1992 and rereleased in 1996 as a [[Player's Choice]] title, being the first title in the lineup. Unlike the other racing games at the time, which focused on single-player racing with more complicated tracks, ''Super Mario Kart'' was focused on two players and was designed to be an easy and intuitive "pick up and play" experience that heavily involves the use of acquiring weapons on an obstacle course-like track to impede another player's progress. The development of a one-on-one [[Battle Mode]] was invented as another way to enjoy the competitive aspects of the game. Another notable aspect of the game is its {{wp|Mode 7}} graphics, where the game simulates a 3D plane by rotating and scaling a background graphic on a scanline-by-scanline basis, allowing players to simulate driving in a 3D environment. Much of this game is heavily based on ''[[Super Mario World]]'', with both graphics and general themes being taken from that game | '''''Super Mario Kart''''' is a [[Genre#Racing games|racing game]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]].
