fasten your seatbelts rev up those
engines and grab some power-ups cuz
we’re in for a good time welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 Mario Kart
games
for this list we took a look at the well
received kart racer series from Nintendo
and ranked the games based on their fun
factor level of innovation and replay
value and I know what you’re thinking
wasn’t Mario Kart 8 the latest release
how can there be ten games
well observant and instinctive commenter
let me answer that with our first two
entries into no entertainment system no
your buddy our super are number ten
Mario Kart arcade GP – wha do that too
bad
you didn’t think we’d forget about the
arcade titles did you well we couldn’t
cuz that’s how we got ten anyway this is
essentially what you’d expect from a
Mario Kart game but the arcade version
has a few exclusive features that make
it stand out Luigi
shot an item for a first off rather than
using your standard controller the
arcade cabinet had a seat and a steering
wheel to help you boost that level of
immersion another note where the element
is the robust cast of playable
characters as Namco is behind the
development of this game so they also
gave us some of their mascots
[Music]
these include pac-man and memetchi from
the Tamagotchi franchise for a couple of
quarters or a couple of dozen this is
one arcade game that is definitely worth
a look for fans of the series mom a
cheat in prep and final corner Wow bad
number 9 Mario Kart arcade GP DX
[Music]
while our KGB – was undoubtedly a
stellar arcade gaming experience GP DX
can be considered the definitive edition
of its predecessor
bill to come on everything that made the
prior game great DX packed even more
content for us to burn up all our spare
change with this included ten completely
remodeled racetracks online
functionality to race against ghost data
from other players as well as bringing
in the hang glider and underwater cards
from the previous released game Mario
Kart 7 the game even supported a co-op
gameplay mode with one serving as the
driver and the other as the gunner
similarly to what we’ve seen in Mario
Kart Double Dash
number eight Mario Kart Super circuit
seeing how big of a success this series
was the big brains at Nintendo decided
to bring the franchise its first
portable outing on the Gameboy advanced
for players craving their Mario Kart fix
on the goo being on a handheld didn’t
seem to hinder the experience one bit as
Super circuit was just as fasted fun as
its console counterparts with all the
expected game modes packed in such as
time trials and grand prix the game even
had multiplayer support for up to four
players on a single game pack which is a
pretty sweet deal if you ask us you can
even unlock all twenty tracks from the
original SNES game speaking of which
number seven Super Mario Kart
it all started here folks upon its
release Super Mario Kart was met with
critical acclaim for its superb visuals
and simple albeit addictive gameplay
Yoshi’s gone
really although the game’s core
mechanics were solid it was the
multiplayer modes that truly made this a
home run for Nintendo friends huddled
around their super Nintendos for hours
playing the race and battle modes not
only was this game responsible for being
the launching point for one of gaming’s
biggest franchise but it also encouraged
Nintendo to spin off Mario into other
genres as opposed to just his standard
platforming adventures
so let’s recap here a huge impact on
console multiplayer inspired other games
launched a franchise and was fun in its
own right sounds like a classic to us
[Music]
number six Mario Kart Wii
when we launched gamers everywhere knew
that it was only a matter of time before
Nintendo announced the next big Mario
Kart game the motion controls were a
mixed bag for players but Nintendo threw
some new bells and whistles into this
thrill ride alongside the usual carts
players were now able to ride
motorcycles and game bumped up the
number of competitors from eight to
twelve to further spice up the gameplay
there was an added trick system that
provided an added speed bonus if said
tricks were performed correctly
number five Mario Kart 7
what a video game series reaches its
seventh entry things usually start to
get a little stale we aren’t really sure
what sort of video game steroids
Nintendo pumps into this franchise but
Mario Kart 7 felt just as fresh and
exciting as any other game in the series
the game retains the same frantic racing
action that players have come to love
with some cool new additions carts can
now drive underwater and glide through
the air along with being fully
customizable with players being able to
tinker with their cards weight frame
tires and glider you want more how about
new characters like wiggler metal Mario
and lakitu as well as the option to use
the 3ds gyroscope function to drive in
first-person
number four Mario Kart GS well two words
here online functionality mario kart DS
is recognized for being the first entry
in this highly successful series to take
the race online not to mention being
Nintendo’s premier first party online
game sure Nintendo’s friend coat system
made setting up an online match a
needless hassle but once it was all set
up oh boy if you just wanted to play
hell owned however the game had you
covered in that department as well as it
was bursting at the seams with extra
content for players to explore alongside
the standard game modes Mario Kart DS
had a lengthy mission mode that tasked
players with various objectives and
increasing challenge whether
individually or with others mario kart
es remains one of the best bang for your
buck
[Music]
number three Mario Kart Double Dash
[Music]
Nintendo has sometimes been recognized
for trying new things and taking risks
with their franchises and Mario Kart
Double Dash is perhaps one of the best
examples of reinventing the wheel pun
intended for the first time in the
series Mario Kart could now be played
cooperatively hence the double in double
dash for more multiplayer mayhem double
dash was one of the few games for the
system to include land support where 16
different players could partake in
insane amounts of fun and carnage number
2 Mario Kart 64
the first Mario Kart on the Super
Nintendo was a big hit a success that
Nintendo replicated a few years later
with the next entry on the n64 at first
glance it seems to be mostly the same
game as the original with the biggest
change being of course the jump from 2d
to 3d however the true selling point for
this Mario Kart was the smooth control
that the analog stick brought forward
and it provided us with some of the most
memorable tracks in the series even more
so however was the n64 s capacity for
four players split-screen racing action
it was a huge evolution for multiplayer
gaming and helped to define the
franchise as the go-to game for parties
with friends and at the WatchMojo
offices
we’re number one Mario Kart 8 sure
the Wii U hasn’t exactly been a home run
for Nintendo with its dwindling hardware
sales and lack of third-party support so
Nintendo went all out to make Mario Kart
8 the best it could be and boy it’s so
good combining nearly every positive
element from its predecessors like the
customizable karts optional motion
controls for steering as well as the
biggest selection of tracks to race on
Mario Kart 8 proved to be the real deal
the game also showed off some absolutely
stunning visuals with breathtaking
vistas along with a new challenge for
hardcore fans of the series with 200cc
mode oh and you can race link down an
f-zero track come on how awesome is that
