Mario Kart

Mario Kart is one of the many video game franchises that see Mario take a break from platforming to bring his friends, and even his enemies, for some sporting competition.  The kart racing series has been going strong since the original Super Mario Kart in 1992, largely thanks to how enjoyable the games are to pick up and play for casual and hardcore gamers alike.
