"Super Mario Kart" is a go-kart racing game that lets the player take control of one of several different characters from the Mario and Nintendo universes. There are a bunch of "Mario Kart" titles in the franchise, the most recent being "Mario Kart 8" for the Wii U, but they're all incredibly fun to play — especially with a group of people.
