Super Mario Kart ist ein verrückter Fun-Racer mit Chrakteren aus dem Mario-Universum. Dieses Spiel hat einen "Mascot Racers"-Trend gestartet.

Debug Mode

Verschiedene Debug-Commands können mit dem Pro Action Replay-Code 7E1F06?? eingesetzt werden, wobei "??" für das folgende steht:

  • 04 - Drücken des L-Knopfes setzt dich in die letzte Runde.
  • 08 - Das Spiel stürzt ab, wenn man ein rennen startet.
  • 10 - Item Debugger. Verschiedene Knöpfe lassen dich verschiedene Items sofort einsetzen.
    • L - Grüner Panzer
    • R - Roter Panzer
    • A - Pilz
    • X - Stern
    • Y - Feder
    • Select - Banane
    • Y + Runter - Blitz
    • Y + Hoch - Geist
  • 40 - Das Rennen startet sofort.
  • 80 - CPU-Auslastung wird angezeigt.

Man kann mehrere Kommandos auf einmal aktivieren, wenn man bestimmte Zahlen zusammen eingibt (wenn man z.B. 14 in der Stelle von "??" eingibt kann man mit L in die letzte Runde und gleichzeitig den Item-Debugger aktivieren).

Regionale Unterschiede

In der japanischen Version haben Bowser und Toadstool eine Animation in der Siegerehrung, wo sie Champagner trinken. Nintendo of America's Richtlinien erlaubten nicht in dieser Zeit Darstellungen von Drinken in Videospielen zu machen, und so wurden diese Animationen entsprechend verändert.

Japan International
Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug! Look at my bottle! Look at it!

Bowser's victory pose originally showed him chugging the champagne. He just poses happily with it in the international versions.

Japan International
Mmm, that's good wine... Wee!

In the Japanese version, Toadstool daintily sips her champagne, although the shading on her face says she might already be drunk. In the international versions, she tosses it in the air.

In the Japanese version, the title screen graphics have a smaller letter "O", and the letters overlap each other substantially more than in the international version. The Japanese title screen lettering is very similar to that of Super Mario Bros. 3, while the international version aimed for a slightly more refined look. Additionally, the "TM" is in a different position.

The background used on the title screen in the Japanese version has what appears to be an Ai-Ai Gasa (相合傘; translated as sharing an umbrella) saying "Mario" and "Peach", and "Mario Kart" written in Japanese. These were removed in the international version, and the mushroom was moved to fill some of the resulting dead space.

Several of Yoshi's sprites are slightly different in the Japanese version, having a thinner head. Interestingly, the Yoshi graphics used in the international versions more closely resemble those in the undumped prototype than the Japanese version's, though the latter was released first.
