Mario Kart




The Mario kart series is a go cart style type racing game which features many Mario characters, it was created by Shigeru Miyamoto (general producer of Nintendo, know for the creation of Mario link and many of Nintendo's main mascots) as a spin off to the Mario Bros series, this series has 8 game, the first debuted in 1992 and the newest was launched in 2014. this series has sold over 100 million copies worldwide to date. it success was likely to it featuring characters from the hit series Mario bros and adding  new concepts to racing games. The main mode in the game Grand Prix enters you in a competition with four tracks, every race you get points and whoever has the most points after four races wins. vs allows you to customize your matches to play any race in any order and how many times you want. battles are alot different, there are not races however using items that you will get you must explore around and track and hit opponents to get your team points, after the time runs out, the team with the most points wins.

This game feature 5 difficulty levels 50cc, 100cc, 150cc, mirror and 200cc. 50cc is the slowest difficulty, perfect for first time player still having trouble with drifting and doing tight turns. 100cc is basically the normal mode of the game, most peoples favorite since it has a great enjoyable speed. 150 cc is alot faster making turns much more difficult, mirror oh god, this mode left and right is inverted meaning that in the course if you usually turn left you will go right and vice versa, this mode is difficult as since your so used to the track this will really confuse you. and 200cc, this mode is only in the latest installment, it is insanely fast, almost impossible to drift very difficult. note the higher the level you guy the A.I. also know as computer players get more difficult meaning that you will have more trouble winning the race as well.

  4. Good post Joe! I have very good memories playing this game when I was younger and still to this day, I go back and play it on Game Cube and still have so much fun. I enjoy how you thoroughly explained the game and how it's now out on new consoles like Wii U.
