Mario Kart 64 race to the hours!

The Super Mario Kart series is a spin-off of the Super Mario franchise, focusing on kart racing and combat elements. While there is no overarching storyline that connects all the games, each installment typically features a variety of tracks set in different locations within the Mario universe.
In most Super Mario Kart games, players can choose from a range of characters, including Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Bowser, and various other Mario characters. Each character has their own kart, which can be customized with different body kits, gliders, and other accessories.
The main objective in Super Mario Kart is to compete in races, either against AI opponents or other players online. The races often take place on tracks that feature various obstacles, power-ups, and shortcuts. Players can collect coins and shells during the race, which can be used to attack or defend against opponents.
In addition to racing, many Super Mario Kart games also include battle modes where players compete in arena-style combat, using items and power-ups to knock opponents off the track or deplete their health.
While there is no overarching storyline, the games often include cameo appearances by other Mario characters and references to events and locations from the mainline Mario games. The focus is primarily on the racing and combat elements, providing players with fast-paced, action-packed gameplay.
