Mario Kart[a] is a series of kart racing games based on the Mario franchise developed and published by Nintendo. Players compete in go-kart races while using various power-up items. It features characters from the Mario series racing along courses either based on locations seen throughout the Mario franchise, or original locations set in the Mario universe. Downloadable content and re-releases for Mario Kart 8 introduced content originating from other franchises such as The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, F-Zero, Excitebike, and Splatoon.
The series was launched in 1992 with Super Mario Kart on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), to critical and commercial success.[1] The Mario Kart series totals sixteen games, with eight on home consoles, three on handheld consoles, four arcade games co-developed with Namco, and one for mobile phones. Over 189 million copies of the series have been sold worldwide.
The latest game in the series, Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit, was released on the Nintendo Switch in October 2020. A new untitled Mario Kart game was unveiled during the reveal trailer of the Nintendo Switch 2 on January 16, 2025, featuring a different art style and including a 24-player limit, expanding from the 12 player limit set in Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart 8.[2][3]
