Mario Kart is one of those games that every gamer has some sort of connection to. Whether it’s a deep fondness for a game that defined a phase in their childhood or a bitter resentment for Rainbow Road, Mario Kart is significant.
Last month, Nintendo released Mario Kart 8 Deluxe for their new platform, Nintendo Switch. As with any new release in a storied franchise, this has prompted a lot of reflection. To that end, Select Car Leasing* has compiled a detailed infographic about the various iterations of Mario Kart.
My Mario Kart experience has been limited to Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Double Dash, but after looking through what the newer Mario Karts have to offer, I might have to broaden my horizons. Because what’s the point of being grown-up if you can’t be a bit childish everyone once in a while?
What about you? What version of Mario Kart are you favorite?
