Blue shells and tight racing lines: Mario Kart is the king of fun racing, from the Super Nintendo to the Switch. RomWize re-ranks the best entries by its re-evaluated scores, each with its current score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"The definitive kart racer on Switch. Driving is wildly accessible yet the skill ceiling stays deep, and with the DLC the track count is staggering. Local or online, it's still the safest bet for any game night."
"A unique Mario Kart with two drivers per kart and item swapping mechanics. Speed more measured than today's entries but the level design is top-notch and local multiplayer is a riot. The only Mario Kart with built-in co-op, an experiment never repeated. Essential GameCube cart."
"Unquestionably one of the best Mario Karts. Spectacular anti-gravity circuits, sublime WiiU graphics, excellent online. DLC adds very good tracks. Still a safe bet very enjoyable today. Indispensable."
"Mario Kart Super Circuit on GBA, the first portable Mario Kart. Five cups including two with SNES circuits. Snappy gameplay, immediate fun. An excellent entry in the saga."
"Mario Kart Wii adds bikes to the car roster, with stick-driven stunts and tuning. Thirty-two tracks including sixteen retros, twelve Nintendo drivers, twelve cylinder classes. Twelve-player online flagship of the era, evergreen four-player local multi, Wiimote-as-wheel or Classic Controller. More accessible difficulty than the previous entry, debated overpowered items. A party racing classic, one of the Wii's biggest sellers."
